Chapter 1 Overview
TC OUT connector: Connects to the time code input
connector on the external devices such as a time
code reader or a VCR.
The unit outputs the following time codes
depending on the operating state:
Playing: The time code on the tape is output.
Recording: Either the time code generated by the
internal time code generator or the time code
signals from the external device are output.
For details, see “DSR-50/50P time codes” on page 62
(GB).
Note
If the JOG TC OUT on the TC/UB SET menu has
been set to ON, the time code is output during
search mode, but the output time code is not a
continuous one.

DV IN/OUT connector (6-pin)
Used to input/output the digital signal with a locking
mechanism that complies with the i.LINK standard
(Recommended cable: CCFD-3L, CCF-3L). If you
have an external device that has a DV connector, you
can connect that device to this connector to record or
duplicate a tape or capture pictures. The digital signals
for the sound or pictures captured through this
connector have almost no degradation. For details,
refer to the instruction manual of the external device.
Notes
• The DV/IN OUT connector of this unit is a 6-pin
connector but does not provide power to any
connected external device. You can also use a 6-pin
connector without a locking mechanism.
• If video signals have been input to the DV IN/OUT
connector and you output these video signals to the
VIDEO OUT1, VIDEO OUT2, or S VIDEO OUT
connectors, the sync and burst of the EE pictures are
not synchronized.
• i.LINK and the i.LINK logo “ ” are trademarks and
indicate that this product is in agreement with IEEE
1394-1995 specifications and their revisions.
5
BREAKER button
If excessive current flows inside the unit, the breaker is
activated, and the power to the unit is shut down. If
this button is activated and pushed out, check the unit
and the camera connected to the CAMERA connector
to make sure they are not malfunctioning. If they
appear to be functioning properly, press this button. If
there are no problems, power will be supplied again.
6
DC IN 12V connector (XLR 4-pin/Male)
Used to supply the unit with DC power.
If you have installed a battery pack in the battery
compartment, whichever power source is providing the
higher voltage provides the power to the unit.
Notes
• The DC power source must be 12 V to 17 V/2.0 A
(peak: 4.0 A) or higher.
• If you have connected an AC adaptor to this
connector and the battery voltage is higher than the
AC power, the battery power is used first.
For details on the DC IN 12V connector, see “Power
Preparations” on page 31 (GB).
7
CAMERA connector (26-pin)
Connects to a camera (not supplied). The unit can
supply power to the external camera with this
connector.
Note
If you have installed a small capacity battery pack such
as a BP-L40(A) and supplied power to an external
camera connected from the CAMERA connector, the
operation time with the battery pack might be
significantly reduced when the camera power
consumption is too high. Use a large capacity battery
pack or obtain power for the camera from a separate
power source.
For details on how to record images using the CAMERA
connector, see “Recording” on page 45 (GB).
