addition to the internal time code, an external time code can also be recorded as the LTC on
the unit’s tape.
Multi-functional interfaces
 Serial digital input and output connector
The  unit  features  a  HD  component  serial  interface  input/output  connector  to  enable  HD
component video signals and 8-channel digital audio signals to be interfaced using just the
one BNC connector.  (SMPTE292M/BTA S-004)
It is also possible to output SD component serial signals provided that the HD-SD format
converter board (optional accessory) is installed.  (SMPTE259M-C, 272M, 294M)
 Analogue video output connector
Composite output connectors are provided as a standard feature.  They output composite
signals during DVCPRO reciprocal playback, DV playback or down-conversion.  At all other
times, they output the black burst signal.
 AES/EBU audio input/output connectors
Digital audio input/output connectors for 8 channels are featured as a standard accessory.
 9-pin RS-422A and RS-232C remote control connectors
In  addition  to  the  standard  9-pin  serial  remote  (RS-422A)  control  connector,  the  unit  is

The  RS-422A  facility  enables  parallel  operation  if  a  loop  connection  has  been  performed
between the unit and another VTR.
