The unit is equipped with a 3D assist mode to provide support for shooting with a rig-type 3D camera system.

The 3D assist mode has the following functions.

„

„

Two types of image, one for the left eye (L) and one for the right eye (R), are input to the two SDI1 and SDI2 terminals.

• In 3D assist mode, the input is fixed to SDI1/SDI2 and the input line cannot be changed.

• A phase difference of up to ±15 µs between the SDI2 input signal and the SDI1 input signal, the reference, is appropriate.

• When the input signal formats of SDI1 and SDI2 are not identical or only one of the signals is input, the screen display will black out.

• When a signal on which the L/R information is superimposed is input to SDI1 such as when there is an AG-3DA1 or AG-3DP1 con-

nection, the L/R information is displayed on the right side of the signal format. When L and R are incorrectly input, the LR information 

is displayed in yellow. When the L/R information is input to SDI2 only, the L/R information is not displayed on the right side of the 

signal format.
