71 (E) CONTENTS The VTR can be operated by commands when the RS-232C interface is used. (See command table on pages 74, 75.) $Conditions for acknowledging commands from RS-232C interface OThe front panel CONTROL switch must be at REMOTE. OThe setup menu No. 204 “RS232C SEL” must be ON. If the above conditions are not met, [ACK] + [STX] ER001 [EXT] is returned to the external unit. Whether the [ACK] code is returned depends on the setting which has been selected for setup menu item No. 209 “RETURN ACK”.

76 (E) CONTENTS SDTI interface Digital data input/output operations using the SDTI format (compressed digital interface) are enabled by installing the AJ-YAC930G SDTI board (optional accessory) in this unit. SDTI (Serial Data Transport Interface) complies with the SMPTE 305M standard. The data stream format transferred via the SDTI complies with the SMPTE 321M standard. Precautions to observe when using the SDTI signals OThe unit can record only if the SDTI input signals are 1atransfer signals in the DVCPRO50 or DVCPRO format selected by setup menu No. 012 (SYS FORMAT). However, when playback signals other than normal 1aplayback signals have been input, there is no guaranty for the pictures and sound recorded or for pictures and sound with EE. OEditing operations can be performed only when all the video and audio signals as well as the time codes in the SDTI input signals are regular data based on the DVCPRO50 or DVCPRO format selected by setup menu No. 012 (SYS FORMAT). OCUE signals are not transferred by the SDTI interface. OSDTI dubbing is not possible from tapes recorded using the DV or DVCAM format. Use SDI when dubbing tapes recorded in the DV or DVCAM format. OWhen playing back a DV or DVCAM format tape, DV compressed signals (Compliant with IEC61834- 2.) serve as the SDTI output. OThe video and audio signals in the SDTI output signals cannot be adjusted. ODuring SLOW/STILL playback, the unprocessed video and audio signals are output as the SDTI output. When these video and audio signals are to be monitored using another device, they may differ from the video and audio signals played back by this unit.
