Connecting External Devices
“Backup recording” can be performed, which allows the
same image recorded to the SDHC card on the camera
recorder to be recorded to the external device connected to
the IEEE1394 terminal. (A Page 122)
Note :
When connecting the camera recorder to an external
device using an IEEE1394 cable, make sure to observe
the following. Improper connection may cause the circuit
of the connected unit to malfunction.
Turn off the power of the camera recorder and
connected devices before connecting the IEEE1394
cable.
Do not connect the cable in an environment where
static electricity occurs or is likely to occur.
Make sure that each camera recorder is connected to
only one external device at any one time.
When the video format input from the [IEEE1394] terminal
is different from the video format of the camera recorder, a
AVIDEO FORMAT INCORRECTB message is displayed.
Set according to the video format entered for [System
Definition], [Camera Resolution], and [Frame & Bit Rate]
in the [Record Format] menu. (A Page 75)
If the [INT/EXT] IEEE1394 interface terminal switch is set
at AEXTB and the AHQB mode is selected in [Frame & Bit
Rate], signals will not be output from the [IEEE1394]
terminal. (A Page 75)
Backup Recording
When the camera recorder is set to Camera mode, images
shot using it can be stream output from the IEEE1394
terminal.
According to the recording operation on the camera recorder,
recording to the camera recorder and external device may be
performed synchronously or separately.
1 Connect the camera recorder to the backup device.
Connect the camera recorder to the backup device using an
IEEE1394 cable, using the camera recorder as the master
device.
2 Set the camera recorder to Camera mode.
3 Set the recording video format.
Perform setting in the [Record Format] menu. Select a video
format in [System Definition]. (A Page 75)
Note :
To back up in the HDV format, be sure to select SP mode
for the [Frame & Bit Rate] setting.
4 Perform the following settings on the camera recorder
(master device).
A Set the [INT/EXT] IEEE1394 interface terminal switch to
AEXTB.
B Switch to Camera mode.
C Specify how recording to the camera recorder and
external device is to be performed with the recording
operation on the camera recorder using [1394 Rec
Trigger] in the [Others] menu. (A Page 94)
