7. Connecting External Devices
Connecting External Monitors and Recording Devices
To display the recording/playback image on
an external monitor, select the output signal
and use an appropriate cable for the monitor
to be connected.
The output signal from the unit can be
recorded by connecting a recording device,
such as a VTR.
The same status information and menus can
be displayed on the external monitor as those
on the viewfinder screen. Set the content
to display, according to the output signal
for the monitor, using the Monitoring menu
(page 77).
[Note]
When FPS is set to Variable, horizontal image shift may
occur with 4K output only. This phenomenon may be
noticeable for faster frame rates (FPS). However, this
does not affect the recorded image, and the playback
image is displayed correctly.
SDI OUT Connector (BNC Type)
Set the output format using the Monitoring
menu (page 77).
Use a commercially available 75-ohm coaxial
cable for connection.
[Note]
Check that the ground connection between the unit
and external device is securely grounded before turning
the power on. (We recommend turning on the unit and
external device after connecting a 75-ohm coaxial cable.)
When connecting an external device to the unit
while the unit is turned on, connect to the unit after
connecting a 75-ohm coaxial cable to the external
device.
To start synchronized recording on an
external device
With SDI signal output selected, synchronized
recording is possible by feeding a REC
trigger signal to an external recording device
connected to the SDI OUT connector. Enable
synchronized recording by setting Technical
> System Configuration > SDI Rec Remote
Trigger (page 87) in the menu to HD SDI
Remote I/F or Parallel Rec.
[Notes]
• If a connected external device does not support a REC
trigger signal, the device cannot be operated.
• When outputting a monitor signal on SDI 3/4, the REC
trigger signal is not output.
• When SDI 1/2 output is the following, the monitor
signal is output on SDI 3/4.
– 4K/QFHD 12G/6G output
– 4K/QFHD Dual output
MONITOR OUT Connector (BNC
Type)
Outputs an HD SDI signal.
Set the output format using the Monitoring
menu (page 77).
Use a commercially available 75-ohm coaxial
cable for connection.
[Note]
Audio and timecode are not superimposed on this
output.
HDMI OUT Connector (Type A
Connector)
Set the output format using the Monitoring
menu (page 77).
Use a commercially available HDMI cable for
connection.
If the output format has the same resolution
as the MONITOR OUT connector signal, the
same video signal is output.
