COMPONENT OUT jacks
Use these jacks to output component signals.
To connect a device equipped component video input
connectors, use the COMPONENT OUT jacks on the
unit. If you use the COMPONENT OUT jacks, you can
output high-quality video with less signal quality
deterioration than if you use the S VIDEO jacks.
You can set the output video format by using [HDMI/
CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC]
menu.
When the DISPLAY OUTPUT switch is set to ALL,
text data such as time code, menu, and alarm messages
are superimposed on a monitor connected using the
COMPONENT OUT jacks
.
• When images are output in 720p format, some of the
text image data (outer frame: underscan portion) on the
monitor may appear cut out. In this case, check the text
image data on the LCD monitor of the unit or on a
monitor using the S VIDEO OUT jack or the VIDEO
OUT jack. Also, when your monitor has an underscan
function, you can check all the text data on the monitor
while in underscan mode.
• The setting of [HDMI/CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in
the [IN/OUT REC] menu is effective for both the
COMPONENT OUT jack and the HDMI OUT jack
• When you change the video format setting of [HDMI/
CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC]
menu, the video signal output from the S VIDEO OUT
jack, VIDEO OUT jack, or HDV/DV jack may be
distorted for a moment.
• When you play back a tape in DVCAM/DV format and
while an EE picture in NTSC/PAL is displayed, either
the 480i resolution or the 576i resolution is output,
regardless of the setting of [HDMI/CMPNT] of
[VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu.
• When [HDMI/CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/
OUT REC] menu is set to either [1080i/480i] or
[1080i/576i], 1080/24p and 1080/30p video signals are
converted to 1080/60i, 1080/25p video signals are to
1080/50i, and then output.
• When you play back an HDV-formatted tape with
copyright protected signals or input HDV signals with
copyright protection to the HDV/DV jack, pictures
may be output in either 480i (NTSC) or 576i (PAL)
format, regardless of the setting of [HDMI/CMPNT]
of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC] menu.
• The output level of the COMPONENT OUT jacks is as
follows:
Output at 480i (NTSC)
With [BETACAM] selected in [480i LEVEL] of the
[IN/OUT REC] menu
Y: 1.0 Vp-p
(with 0.286 Vp-p sync negative,
output impedance 75
Ω
(ohms), unbalanced)
Pb/Cb/B-Y, Pr/Cr/R-Y: 0.7 Vp-p
(output impedance 75
Ω
(ohms), unbalanced)
(75% color bars with 7.5 IRE setup)
With [SMPTE] selected in [480i LEVEL] of the [IN/
OUT REC] menu
Y: 1.0 Vp-p
(with 0.3 Vp-p sync negative,
output impedance 75
Ω
(ohms), unbalanced)
Pb/Cb/B-Y, Pr/Cr/R-Y: 0.7 Vp-p
(output impedance 75
Ω
(ohms), unbalanced)
(100% color bars with no setup)
Output with other settings
Y: 1.0 Vp-p
(output impedance 75
Ω
(ohms), unbalanced)
Pb/Cb/B-Y, Pr/Cr/R-Y: 0.7 Vp-p
(output impedance 75
Ω
(ohms), unbalanced)
(100% color bars with no setup)
480i/480p:
Y: with 0.3 Vp-p sync negative
1080i/720p:
Y/Pb/Pr: with 0.6 Vp-p 3-level sync

HDMI OUT jack
Use this jack to output HDMI signals. HDMI OUT jack
outputs both pictures and audio. To connect a device
equipped with HDMI input connector, use the HDMI
OUT jack on the unit.
The HDMI OUT jack outputs high-quality video with
even less signal deterioration in quality than the
COMPONENT OUT jacks.
You can set the output video format by using [HDMI/
CMPNT] of [VIDEO OUT] in the [IN/OUT REC]
menu.
Text data is superimposed on a monitor in the same way
as with a COMPONENT OUT jacks connection
.
