44 Introduction: Recording From a Variable Frame-Rate CameraTo record active frames from the output of a variable frame-rate camera, set setup menu No. 040 (VFR REC) to ON. Thisenables instant viewing of slow-motion and fast-motion speedeffects during shooting.◆ NOTE:• Audio and external time codes cannot be recorded in this mode.• The P2 card that is being recorded cannot be changed duringrecording.• In this mode, the remaining P2 card capacity at 60p (50p), theslowest slow-speed effect, is indicated.• When 59-23 or 60-24 is set in setup menu No. 25 (SYSTEM FREQ),movement in HD SDI video output may look unnatural when theinput frame rate is something other than 24p.• Changing the frame rate while recording a video signal from a variableframe rate camera may result in frame loss in the changeover phase.The unit is capable of AVC-Intra 1080/23.98p native recordingof HD SDI (1080/23.98p over 59.94i) output from an HD camera.1 Connect the HD SDI (1080/23.98p over 59.94i) outputfrom an HD camera recorder to the SDI IN connectorand press the INPUT SELECT button to select HD SDI.2 Make the following setup menu settings.3 Hold down the REC button and the STILL/PAUSEbutton simultaneously to set the unit to REC PAUSEmode.4 To start recording, press the STILL/PAUSE buttonwhile viewing the video output from the camera HDSDI output.◆ NOTE:• Setup menu No. 155 (AUTO REC) to TYPE2 and set the CONTROLswitch to REMOTE. The unit will then automatically start and stoprecording as the REC and STOP buttons are pressed on thecamera.• SDI is output in the 1080/23.98 PsF video format. IEEE1394 is notoutput.• No time code can be input to the TIME CODE IN connector.• The SDI output is delayed relative to LCD monitor and monitor videooutput. Analog audio, speaker and headphone output issynchronized to the LCD monitor and monitor video output. Tosynchronize these outputs to SDI output, set setup menu No. 778(AUD OUT DLY) to ON.• Set camera TCG to FREE RUN. A TC/UB of an SDI input that cannotbe properly read cannot be normally recorded.Variable Frame Rate-RecordingRecording HD SDI Signals Output by an HD Camera as 1080/23.98pRecording HD SDI signals from cameraoutputONOFFPOWERMETERFULL/FINEMONITORSELECTMETER SELECTINPUT SELECTRECTHUMBNAIL PLAYLISTSETMENU IN ENTRYSLOT CLIPPF1 ALL CLIPPF3 SHIFTPF4CLIP LISTPF2SLOT SELECTLAST X TRIMDELETEVIDEO GO TOOUTEDIT MODE A.DUBMODEA1A3A2A4DIAGOPERATIONEXITCANCEL/PFMULTISELCH 1 CH 2 CH 3 CH 4 TEXTMEMO TCGTC PRESETPROPRESETCOUNTERPLAYER STOPSTILL/PAUSEPREVIEWA.LEVEL RECREWRECFFPREV NEXTPLAYREVIEW1 CLIP PLAYSOURCE SELECTNEWINTREGENPRESETEXTMARKERVARUNITYVIDEO AUDIOCH 1-4 CH 5-8SDIDVCPRO/DVINOUTVIDEO REF VIDEO IN TIME CODE AUDIO MON AES/EBUREMOTECH1·2 CH3·4IN IN LROUT OUT OUTIN INOUT75AUTO3 41HD SDI (1080/23.98p over 59.94i)outputSDI IN connectorItem SettingNo.25 SYSTEM FREQ 59-23No.020 SYS FORMAT 1080p
