1.SERIAL DIGITAL COMPONENT AUDIO and VIDEO
IN/OUT connectors
These connectors enable input and output of serial 
digital component audio and video signals.
◆NOTE: 
 The input digital audio signals must be synchronized with 
the video input signals. Otherwise, the audio signals will be 
affected by noise. 
 Use a 5C-FB or equivalent double-shielded cable to make 
connections to the SERIAL DIGITAL COMPONENT 
connector.
2.IEEE 1394 digital input/output
This is an IEEE1394 digital interface. It inputs/outputs 
IEEE1394 compressed digital signals that comply with 
the IEC61883-1, IEC61883-2 and SMPTE396M 
standards. Use 6-pin connectors. This connector does 
not support bus power.
◆NOTE: 
 Use a double-shielded cable to make connections to the 
IEEE1394 digital input/output connector.
 AVC-Intra 50 and AVC-Intra 100 (optional) recording and 
playback do not support input/output via the IEEE 1394 
connector. 
 No input or output is available via the IEEE1394 connector 
when something other than 59.94 or 50 is selected in setup 
menu No. 25 SYSTEM FREQ.
3.ANALOG AUDIO OUT connectors
Output analog audio signals. 
4.ANALOG AUDIO IN connectors/impedance 
switches/CH2 input switches
Analog audio input connectors
The input impedance of CH1-2 to CH3-4 can be 
switched. The LINE, MIC and 48V switches make it 
possible to use CH2 as a microphone input. 
5.Fan 
Cools this unit. Install the unit making sure that the air 
vents are not blocked. If the fan stops due to a 
breakdown, “E-10” will appear on the counter display. 
While the unit will operate even when the fan has 
stopped, it should be shut down immediately. 
6.AC IN socket
Connect the supplied power cord to a power outlet.

							Introduction: Control Reference Guide27
 Introduction
7.DC IN socket
Connect a 12 V DC power supply here. Use an external 
12 V DC, 4.8 A (15 A peak or more) DC power supply.
When the voltage goes below approx. 10.6 V, the 
power supply of this unit shuts down (when menu No. 
180 BATTERY SEL is not “TYPE-A” or “TYPE-B”). The 
unit does not automatically recover when the power 
comes back on. First turn the POWER switch off, wait a 
few seconds before turning the switch back on.
◆NOTE: 
 When using an external DC power supply, be sure to first 
turn on the power to the DC power supply and then turn on 
the POWER switch on this unit. If the order of the above 
procedure is reversed, this unit will malfunction since the 
voltage of an external DC power supply rises slowly. 
 Inadvertently connecting an input of 18 V or more triggers 
an internal protection circuit that shuts down the unit. The 
unit will operate normally once the power voltage returns to 
normal levels. Be sure not to connect an AC power supply 
to this socket. 
 When the external DC power supply is connected and set 
to on, a minute amount of current will still flow even if the 
POWER switch on this unit is set to OFF. 
8.Remote control connector
This unit can be connected to an external controller to 
enable remote operation of the unit. 
RS422A REMOTE IN/OUT (9P)
9.TIME CODE OUT connector
Outputs the playback time code during playback. 
Outputs the time code generated by the internal time 
code generator during recording. 
◆NOTE: 
The TIMECODE OUT connector does not output a time 
code when 23.98, 24, 29.97, 59-23, 60-24, 25 or 60-25 
is set in setup menu No. 25 SYSTEM FREQ.
10.TIME CODE IN connector
Use to record an external time code onto P2 cards.
◆NOTE: 
The time code from the TIMECODE IN connector 
cannot be input when 23.98, 24, 29.97, 59-23, 60-24, 
25 or 60-25 is set in setup menu No. 25 SYSTEM FREQ.
11.REF VIDEO IN connectors
Input connectors for HD and SD reference video signals. 
◆NOTE: 
 It is recommended that this unit be used with a system that 
inputs a reference video signal since video and audio 
output signals may otherwise deteriorate. 
 Input tri-level sync signals with both positive and negative 
polarities as HD reference video signals. Input signals that 
meet the input signal and data format. 
➝For information on the reference signal, refer to 
“Example of connections in 23.98/24/29.97/25 Hz 
mode” (page 38).
 Input a black burst signal that complies with SMPTE170M 
and ITU624-4 to use for SD reference video signals.

Be sure to check the rating of any external DC power 
supply you intend to use to confirm that it is 
compatible with this unit. Also check the pin 
arrangement of the DC OUT socket of an external DC 
power supply with the DC IN socket of this unit to 
make sure the polarity is right. 
Erroneously applying +12 V to the GND terminal 
could cause a fire or lead to injuries. 
Connecting a cord with incorrect polarity to the DC IN 
connector of another device that is also connected to 
this unit could lead to fire or injury.1

 When no cable is connected to REF VIDEO OUT connector, 
the REF VIDEO IN connector is automatically terminated at 
75Ω. Connecting a cable to this connector releases 
75Ωtermination. 
 When 59-23, 60-24 or 60-25 is selected in setup menu 
No. 25 SYSTEM FREQ, synchronization is provided only for 
playback HD reference signals.
12.AUDIO MONITOR OUT connector
This connector outputs the audio signal (CH1, CH2, 
CH3 and CH4) that is selected with the MONITOR 
SELECT button.
13.ANALOG COMPOSITE MONITOR OUT connector
Outputs analog composite monitor video signals. 
14.ANALOG COMPOSITE VIDEO IN connector
Inputs analog composite video signals. 
15.ANALOG COMPONENT VIDEO OUT connectors
Inputs analog composite video signals during output 
of HD signals. When SD is selected as the output 
signal, three composite signals are output. 
Setup menu 643 OUT MODE SEL determines the 
signals that are output. 
◆NOTE: 
 Use only shielded cable for cables (except the AC cable) 
that are connected to the rear panel. Cables connected to 
serial digital signal connectors (SDI IN/OUT connectors) 
should be double shielded cables. 
■Basic Setup
Make sure that setup menu No. 882 DIF IN CH and No. 883 
DIF OUT CH on this unit are set to “AUTO.”
◆NOTE:
 Only signals that comply with the format selected in setup menu No. 
020 SYS FORMAT can be input. When the SYS FORMAT is 480i 
(576i at 50 Hz), operations are limited to setup menu No. 024 REC 
FMT (SD) settings. 
 The selected recording format and the format of a recording on an 
inserted P2 card determine the output format. 
* Select CH1/CH2 or CH3/CH4 as the output audio channels (in 
DVCPRO/DV).
■Precautions
 Connect this unit to only one other device. 
 If the E-92 warning (1394 INITIAL ERROR) appears, 
reconnect the connecting cable or turn the power off and 
back on again.  AV signals may be disrupted when connected devices are 
turned on and off or when the interface cable is connected 
or disconnected. 
 It may take the system a few seconds to stabilize after 
switching input signals or changing modes. Start recording 
after the system has stabilized. 
 The following applies to recordings made via the IEEE 1394 
digital interface as well as to the signals it outputs. 
- The audio level control knobs on the front panel do 
not work. 
- The settings in menu No. 680 and 681 regarding 
blanking periods are ignored. 
- Video and audio recording and EE type video and 
audio of signal inputs other than 1x speed playback 
signals are not guaranteed. 
 The following applies to video input via the IEEE 1394 digital 
interface. 
- In the EE mode, SDI, analog video output signals 
and time codes become irregular. Do not use these 
signals for recording. 
 Unprocessed video and audio signals are output via the 
IEEE 1394 digital interface during SLOW and STILL 
playback. When monitored on another device, these video 
and audio signals may sound different than when played 
back on this unit. Do not start up any other application 
program when this unit is connected to other devices during 
nonlinear editing. Such applications could adversely affect 
the video output by such a device during nonlinear editing. 
◆NOTE:
Observe the following when connecting an IEEE 1394 cable 
(separately sold). (An incorrect connection may damage this 
unit or external devices.) 
 Turn off all connected devices before connecting or disconnecting 
IEEE1394 cables. 
Connect all devices provided with a ground connector to ground (or 
to a common ground). 
 When connecting the unit to a device with a 4-pin connector, 
connect the cable to the 6-pin connector on this unit first. 
 Be sure to correctly connect an IEEE1394 cable to a connector. 
 When connecting a cable to a 6-pin IEEE1394 connector, make sure 
that it mates properly with the connector. IEEE 1394 Digital Interface
