Using the SDI OUT Terminals

The digital signal that is output from the SDI OUT terminals includes the video signal, audio signal (4 channels*),
time code, metadata and clip file name information**. You can connect an external video recorder to the
camera's SDI OUT terminals to record RAW, 4K or 2K video.
For details about how to use and configure external recorders or displays, refer to the instruction manual of the
external device used.
* During RAW output, 2-channel 16-bit audio will be output instead (transmitted as 20 bits). You can select which audio channels
to output (A 157).
** If the main recording format is set to [ProRes (CFast)] but no CFast card is inserted in the camera, clip file name information will
not be output.
1 To output RAW video, set the main recording format to [RAW (SDI OUT)] (A 65).
2 Activate the SDI OUT terminals.
• If you have no intention to use the SDI OUT terminals, select [Off] instead.
3 If necessary, select the 3G-SDI mapping level for the output signal (step 2, A 153).
NOTES
• Depending on the external recorder, you may not be able to record at the desired video configuration.
• After you connect the camera to the external recorder, make a test recording first to check that audio and
video are recorded correctly on the external recorder.
