Selecting the recording
signals and recording
system
With this unit, both the signals to be recorded and the
recording format can be selected.
4-3-1
Selecting the recording signals
Open the <SYSTEM MODE> screen from the SYSTEM
SETTING page and select the signals to be recorded using
the CAMERA MODE item by performing menu operations.
Items to be set and what is set
Using the CAMERA MODE item, the operation mode of the
camera to be used for recording is selected.
50i:
The unit’s camera is operated in the 50i mode.
25P:
The unit’s camera is operated in the 25P mode.
When operating the unit’s camera in the progressive (25P)
mode, select the desired vertical resolution mode with V.RES
(25P).
INTRLCE:
This produces natural images with line mixing.
PROG:
This produces true progressive (25P) segment
frame images without line mixing.
Even when the camera is to be operated in the progressive
mode (25P), the recording signals supplied to the VTR are
converted from the progressive mode (25P) to the interlace
(50i) mode.
<Note>
≥
When PROG has been selected and the camera is used,
the images produced will be 25P segment frame images, so
true 25P editing will be possible. However, when vertical
detail (V.DTL) is added, the images produced will not be
natural, so it is recommended that V.DTL be set to 0 for use.
≥
In the progressive mode, the shutter is forcibly set to 50%
(1/50 sec) to produce more film-like moving images. To
release the shutter mode, it is necessary by performing
menu operations to open the <OPTION> screen and select
OFF as the P.HALF SHUT item setting.
However, this should be done carefully since the dynamic
range will be halved in the process.
