The digital signal output from the HD/SD SDI terminal includes the video signal, audio signal and time code signal. If necessary, perform the following procedure to change the output to HD or SD. Turning the output off will conserve the camcorder’s power.

Embedded Audio
Embedded audio refers to the superimposing of the audio signal along with the video signal being output from the HD/SD SDI terminal. If you set the [Video Setup] -⋗ [SDI Output] setting to [HD] or [SD], the camcorder will automatically embed audio.
Time Code
The time code will be output from the TIME CODE terminal as an SMPTE standard LTC timing signal. The user bit will also be output. Before connecting the device, set the TIME CODE terminal to output. If you set the [SDI Output] setting to [HD] or [SD], the embedded time code will be output from the HD/SD SDI terminal.
There are three running modes, as shown below, in which the time code can be output from the HD/SD SDI terminal.
Rec Run | The time code runs only when recording and clips on the same CF card will have a continuous time code. |
Free Run | The time code runs regardless of the camcorder's operation. |
Regen. | The time code runs while recording. Use this running mode to continue with the last recorded time code on the media. |
