Outputting or inputting timecode (LTC) to or from an 
external device is also possible using the TC IN/OUT 
connectors. For DVCAM format, VITC is also supported. 
This unit further supports embedded TC (RP188 LTC) for 
SD-SDI input and output.
Reference signal connection
The reference video input connector of the unit is provided 
with a loop-through connector which can be used to 
connect the input reference video signal to other 
equipment. When there is no loop-through connection, the 
reference video input connector is automatically provided 
with a 75-ohm termination. This unit supports input of SD 
reference signals and HD reference signals (tri-level sync 
signals). A loop-through output connector is provided for 
reference signal input so that the input SD or HD sync 
signals can be through output.
Video process control
For analog video output and SDI-format video output, you 
can use menu items to adjust the video output level, 
chroma signal output level, setup level and chroma phase. 
The HD output can be adjusted independently.
Menu system for functionality and 
operation settings
The unit provides a menu system to make its various 
functions easier to use and set up its operation conditions. 
Also, by assigning a desired menu item to the ASSIGN 
button, you can recall frequently used functions more 
rapidly.
Easy maintenance functions
Self-diagnostic/alarm function: This function 
automatically detects setup and connection errors, 
operation faults, and other problems. It also displays a 
description of the problem, its cause, and the 
recommended response on the monitor screen or time 
counter display.
Digital hours meter: The digital hours meter functions 
include four kinds of tally operations for operating 
hours, head drum usage hours, tape transport hours, 
and tape threading/unthreading times. The tally 
results can be displayed on the monitor screen or the 
time counter display.
Internal test signal generator
The unit has built-in video and audio test signal generators.
The video test signal generator can produce either a color 
bar signal or a black burst signal. The audio test signal 
generator can generate either a silent signal or a 1-kHz sine 
wave signal. The HD-SDI output and component output 
(when HD is selected) outputs an HD color bar signal or 
black burst signal.
Carry out these selections in the menus.
Option Board
HVBK-1505 Analog Input Board
Installing this in the unit enables the following formats of 
analog video/audio signals to be input. 
Analog video signal input:The three BNC connectors are 
each used to input the following three signal types.
• Composite video signal
• S-video signal
• Component video signal (Y, R-Y, B-Y)
Analog audio signal input: XLR connector (female) 
These input signals can only be recorded in DVCAM/
DV(SP) format.
