Introduction: Recording From a Variable Frame-Rate Camera 39IntroductionRecording From a Variable Frame-Rate CameraCombined with a variable frame-rate camera (VariCam: AJ-HDC27 series), the unit makes it possible to record HD SDI (720/23.98p over 59.94p) output from the camera as DVCPRO HD orAVC-Intra (requires optional board) 720/23.98p native recording.1 Connect the camera HD SDI (720/23.98p over59.94p) output to the SDI IN connector and press theINPUT SELECT button to select SDI.2 Make the following setup menu settings.◆ NOTE:• To record 720/24p over 60p output from a variable frame-ratecamera, set menu No. 25 SYSTEM FREQ to 60-24. No output ismade to a monitor video in this mode.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:• Set setup menu No. 155 AUTO REC to TYPE1 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. Analog video andIEEE1394 are not output.• The TIME CODE OUT connector does not output a time code andno 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. 778AUD OUT DLY to ON.• Set camera TCG to FREE RUN/NDF (non drop frame) mode. A TC/UB of an SDI input that cannot be properly read cannot be normallyrecorded.Recording HD SDI output signals from a variable frame-rate camera as 720/23.98pRecording HD SDI signals from cameraoutputHD SDI (720/23.98p over 59.94p) outputSDI IN connector3 41Item SettingNo.25 SYSTEM FREQ 59-23No.020 SYS FORMAT 720pNo.040 VFR REC OFF
