Connecting External Devices
HD SDI A/B (Dual-Link) connectors (BNC
type)
Dual-link output from the HD SDI A/B
connectors can be enabled by setting “Dual-Link
& Gamma Select” (page 116) of the VIDEO SET
menu to “1.5G YPbPr422 & Video.” Camera
images can be displayed on a video monitor that
supports Dual-Link connection.
When the CBK-RGB01 RGB and S-LOG Output
Option is installed, 1.5G RGB444, 3G YPbPr422
and 3G RGB444 signals can also be output.
Use commercially available BNC cables for
connection.
For details on the output formats, refer to the
Supplement in the supplied CD-ROM labeled
“Manuals for Solid-State Memory Camcorder.”
Notes
• When the SDI output setting is changed, the
sync signal for Dual-Link outputs may become
discontinuous.
• When outputting signals from the HD SDI A/B
connectors, use the BP-U60 battery pack or
supply power via the DC IN connector.
i.LINK (HDV/DV) connector (IEEE1394,
4-pin)
Input/output of an HDV or DVCAM stream can
be enabled by changing the “SDI/HDMI/i.LINK
I/O Select” (page 115) setting of the VIDEO SET
menu.
A monitor or VTR that supports i.LINK can be
connected.
For details on i.LINK connection, see “Connecting
an External Device (i.LINK Connection)” on page
138.
The clips recorded on SxS memory cards with
this camcorder can be controlled on a computer or
edited using the optional nonlinear editing
software.
For these purposes, the clips on an SxS memory
card can be operated by directly loading the card
in a computer or by connecting the camcorder or
the optional SBAC-US10 SxS Memory Card
USB Reader/Writer to the computer, using an
