125DVCPRO DV Connection via 1394 ConnectorChapter 8 Connecting to External Devices (PC mode)Recording DVCPRO DVsignals input to 1394connector1 Connect a 1394 cable (DV cable).• For details, see [Precautions in 1394Connections].• Make sure that the signal format of thecamera and the connected device is thesame.2 To input via the IEEE1394 interface,enter MCR mode and turn offthumbnails.• Input signals that have the same format as the settingmenu MCR FORMAT and REC MODE to the IEEE1394interface. A signal in a different format will not becorrectly recorded on a P2 card. Video and audiorecording and EE type video and audio of signal inputsother than 1x speed playback signals may not work.For details, see [Errors].• Audio signal inputs are input signals from the 1394connector.• 32 kHz/4CH (12 bit) audio signals input via theIEEE1394 interface are recorded as 48 kHz/4CH (16 bit)on a P2 card.• It is not possible to use the GENLOCK IN connector tosynchronize to an external reference signal.• Signals output from the VIDEO OUT, MON OUT orAUDIO OUT connectors differ from actual input signals.Use such signals for monitoring.• The following functions do not operate.• Pre-recording function• Loop recording function• Interval recording and one shot recording functionTime Code and User Bits• When input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected,the time code or user bits input to the TC INconnector cannot be recorded on a P2 card.• When input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected,time code output from the TC OUT connector is notsynchronized to the video signal output from theMON OUT connector.DVCPRO DV Connection via 1394 ConnectorSubcode area time codes and userbits• When input from the IEEE1394 interface is selectedand the TCG switch is set to F-RUN and F-RUN TCSAVE is set to 1394, the time code of the subcodearea input from the 1394 connector can be recordedon a P2 card.• To record user bits input from the 1394 connector ona P2 card, set the setting menu 1394 UB REGEN toON.VAUX area time codes and user bitsWhen input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected,time code and user bits of the VAUX area inputfrom the 1394 connector is recorded on a P2 cardregardless of camera menu settings and switchpositions.Recording UMID (Unique MaterialIdentifier) dataWhen input from the IEEE1394 interface is selected,UMID data input via the 1394 connector is recordedon a P2 card. When no UMID data is available, thecamera generates and records such data.Control of external devices through1394 connectionUsing the 1394 interface to connect an external devicefor backup recording allows the operator to controlstart and stop operation of backup recording from thecamera.1 Connect a 1394 cable (DV cable).• For details, see [Precautions in 1394Connections].• Set 1394 CONTROL in the setting menuOTHER FUNCTION screen to BOTH.2 Use the setting menu 1394 CMD SELto select the command for terminatingrecording that external devices receive.When the camera is set to REC RUN to perform backuprecording on a connected external device, the advanceof time code from the 1394 connector will stop when allP2 cards have been fully recorded regardless of whetherbackup recording continues.
