Connecting to an External Monitor
Connect the camera to an external monitor using the 3G/HD-SDI 1 / MONITOR terminal,
3G/HD-SDI 2 terminal or HDMI OUT terminal. Use the terminal on the camera that matches the one
you wish to use on the monitor.
Video and audio will be output as a digital signal from the aforementioned terminals.
Connection Diagram
Refer to the following connection diagram. When connecting the camera using the 3G/HD-SDI 1 /
MONITOR terminal or 3G/HD-SDI 2 terminal, use a commercially available BNC cable; when using the
HDMI OUT terminal, use a commercially available HDMI cable.
NOTES
• When the camera's video output does not appear on the external monitor's screen:
- The [Other Functions] > [System Frequency] or [Frame Rate (MON.)], or [Audio/Video Setup] >
[3G-SDI Mapping] settings may not be set correctly. Change the system frequency and frame
rate using assignable buttons (A 74) and check the settings.
If you have an external monitor with an HDMI terminal, you can also try connecting the camera
using the HDMI OUT terminal to check the settings.
• For external monitors that support only 480P or 576P input, connect the camera using the HDMI
OUT terminal.
• When the output signal is 480P or 576P, onscreen displays will not be superimposed on the video
signal.
• Onscreen displays will not be superimposed on the video signal output from the 3G/HD-SDI 2
terminal. To output onscreen displays, use the 3G/HD-SDI 1 / MONITOR terminal or HDMI OUT
terminal.
