Recording External Input
You can output and record SDI signals from
devices connected to the SDI IN connector of the
camcorder.
To output and record input signals instead of the
camera picture, set Operation >Input/Output
>Source Select in the setup menu to [External].
For the recording formats supported for input SDI
signals, see "Supported external input formats and
camcorder recording formats" (page 156).
When you input SDI signals, you can change the
setting of Wide ID to select the method used to
handle wide picture information.
Notes
• External input signals cannot be recorded in Slow &
Quick Motion mode. When Slow & Quick Motion
mode is selected, the recording mode is cancelled
when you set Operation >Input/Output >Source Select
in the setup menu to [External].
• Execution of automatic adjustment functions, such as
automatic black balance and operations such as
playback, Rec Review, and thumbnail display, ends
when set Operation >Input/Output >Source Select in
the setup menu to [External]. The camcorder enters
stop mode and then the camera picture switches to
external input.
• Recording may stop if the input signal is disturbed
while recording external input. Recording
automatically resumes when the input signal returns to
normal.
