133Connection with external device : Connection through the DVCPRO connector Connection with external device 1Refer to [32.DVCPRO connector] (page 22) to connect the 1394 cable (DV cable). Ensure that the signal format of the target device agrees with that of the camera-recorder. 2Open the on the SYSTEM SETTING page and confirm that the settings in the 1394 IN CH item and the 1394 OUT CH item are set to “AUTO”. 3Open on the SYSTEM SETTING page to set REC MODE to “DVCPRO HD.” 4In case of input from the IEEE1394 interface, set REC SIGNAL to “1394”. The REC SIGNAL option must be selected from the menu on the SYSTEM SETTING page. ‹Notes zWhen the AVC-Intra format is selected and data are recorded, it is impossible to input/output data from the DVCPRO connector. zWhen INTERVAL REC is operated, it is impossible to input/output data from the DVCPRO connector. zWhen no device is connected to the DVCPRO connector or no signal is being input to the connector, the display window indicates “1394E-90” in the counter section. Input the same signals to the IEEE1394 interface as the format set in SYSTEM MODE and REC MODE in the setting menu. If a different format is used, signals are not properly recorded on P2 cards. When playback signals other than regular a1 (normal speed) playback signals have been input, no guarantees are made for the video and sound recorded or for the video and sound of the EE system. For information about the error codes, see [1394 Error Codes] (page 152). zThe audio signal input will consist of an input signal from DVCPRO connector. zWhen the audio signal input from the IEEE1394 interface is 32 kHz/4CH (12 bits), it is recorded as 48 kHz/4CH (16 bits) on the P2 card. zIt is not possible to use the GENLOCK IN connector to achieve synchronization with the external reference signal. zIn SD mode, the thumbnail button is prerssed, thumbnail screen are output to the viewfinder and the MON OUT and VIDEO OUT connectors. zThe signals which are output from the VIDEO OUT connector, MON OUT connector or AUDIO OUT connector differ from the actual input signals. Use them for monitoring purposes. zThe condition indicator character is not shown in the viewfinder screen and the output images. zThe following functions are not available. PRE-RECORDING function Loop recording Interval recording function Proxy recording function zWhen input from the IEEE1394 interface is being received, the time code and/or the user bits input from the TC IN connector cannot be recorded on the P2 card. zWhen input from the IEEE1394 interface is being received, the time code output from TC OUT will not be synchronized with the images output from the MON OUT connector. zWhen input from the IEEE1394 interface is being received, the timecode in the SBC area, which is input from the DVCPRO connector, is recorded on the P2 card by turning the TCG switch to the “F-RUN” position and it will also be output from the TC OUT connector of camera-recorder. zBy turning the TCG switch into the “R-RUN” position, the timecode in the SBC area will be recorded on the P2 card in accordance with the timecode of the clip recorded on the P2 card. zWhen recording the user bits input from the DVCPRO connector on the P2 card, open the screen on the MAIN OPEATION page from the menu and select the “EXT” at UB MODE. zWhen the input from the IEEE1394 interface is being received, regardless of the menu setting and/or the switch position on camera-recorder, the timecode and the user bits in the VAUX area input from the DVCPRO connector are always recorded on the P2 card. zWhen the input from the IEEE1394 interface is being received, the UMID information input from the DVCPRO connector will be recorded on the P2 card. If there is no UMID information, it will be generated in the unit and recorded.

134Connection with external device : Connection through the DVCPRO connector The DVCPRO connector can be connected with an exter- nal device for recording backup copies to control the start and stop of recording. 1When connecting the 1394 (DV) cable, see [32.DVCPRO connector] (page 22). Set the 1394 CONTROL menu option on the 1394 SETTING screen on the SYSTEM SETTING page to BOTH. 2Through the 1394 CMD SEL menu option, select the type of stop recording command to be received by the external device. 3Through the REC TALLY menu option on the OPTION MODE screen, select how the recording status of the camera-recorder should be indicated. Note that the recording status of the external device is indicated with a red tally LED. 4Open on the SYSTEM SETTING page to set REC MODE to “DVCPRO HD.” ‹Notes zWhen the Fire Store FS-100 is used as external storage, the VITC UB MODE menu option on the TC/UB screen on the MAIN OPERATION page can be set to FRM. RATE to allow the FS-100 to indicate the shooting frame rate of the camera-recorder on its display. It is also possible to add the same USER CLIP NAME of the unit to the record clip of the FS-100. zNote that when recording a backup with an external device connected to the camera-recorder during REC RUN mode and there is insufficient storage space on the P2 card inserted into the camera-recorder, the time code output from the DVCPRO connector will not advance from that point. zWhen the AVC-Intra format or INTERVAL REC mode is selected, it is impossible to control any external devices through the 1394 connection. zWhen connecting the 1394 (DV) cable, see [32.DVCPRO connector] (page 22). zThe AV signals may be disrupted by turning the power of the connected devices ON and OFF or by disconnecting and re-connecting the I/F cables. zIt may take several seconds for the system to operate stably when the input signals are switched or operation is transferred from one mode to another. Perform recording operation after the system operation has stabilized. zFor recording data using the IEEE1394 interface input selection, or for signals output from the IEEE1394 interface, the AUDIO LEVEL Volume on the side panel is disabled. zWhen camera-recorder is controlled through PC application software, etc., take note of the following. ŠThe scene-to-scene continuity recording from an arbitrary position on the clip is not possible. Recording will always continue immediately after the latest clip. ŠSoftware must be used under the condition where the camera-recorder thumbnail screen is closed. The application software may not be able to apply control when the thumbnail screen is open. zDuring special playback, video and audio signals which have not been processed as the output signals of the IEEE1394 interface will be output. When these video and audio signals are monitored on another device, they may be at variance from the video and audio signals which are played back by camera-recorder.
