Connecting a Monitor
As illustrated below, you can connect a color video 
monitor to the MONITOR OUT or VIDEO OUT 
connector of the camcorder.
When a CBK-SD01 SDI Output Board is installed 
(DSR-450WS/450WSP only)
If a color video monitor provided with an SDI input 
connector is used, select SDI as the output signal of the 
VIDEO OUT connector and connect the camcorder to the 
SDI IN connector of the color video monitor.
The camera display image is output to the CBK-SD01 SDI 
Output Board even when playing a recorded image.
• Playing the tape on the camcorder mutes the audio signal 
portion of the SDI output.
• You can select either VBS or SDI for the output signal 
of the VIDEO OUT connector, depending on the input 
connector used on the monitor. See 1) and 2) in the 
illustration above.
The items displayed on a monitor are same as the ones on 
the viewfinder. For details, see “Status display on the 
viewfinder screen” on page 21.
