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.

• When connecting the camcorder to an external 

equipment using the VIDEO OUT connector or the 
MONITOR OUT connector, terminate the connecting 
cable. If the cable is not terminated, the picture will not 
be output from the camcorder to the external equipment.

• 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.
