To prevent this, the camera can mark the duplicate frames with a Variflag. If
the recorder supports Variflag recording, it will discard the duplicate frames
and only record the active frames. This saves valuable storage space and
worktime. To activate the Variflag in the camera, go to
Menu>Recording>REC OUT>Variflag.
The MON OUT should match the sensor and the REC OUT frame rate. If the
sensor frame rate exceeds the available MON OUT frame rates, set the
MON OUT to half the sensor frame rate if possible. This minimizes to risk of
jittering image movements.
How to correctly set frame rates for recording with external devices:
Decide which frame rate you want to set
Go to MENU>Recording>REC OUT
Set the REC OUT frame rate to the desired value. The HD-SDI format
should match the recorder's setting
If the desired sensor frame rate is a standard speed, set "REC OUT
fps sets sensor fps" to "On". This way, the sensor always follows the
REC OUT frame rate, avoiding dropped or duplicate frames.
When the REC OUT settings are done, press HOME.
Go to MENU>MON OUT and set the frame rate to the same value as
REC OUT. If this is not possible because the REC OUT frame rate
exceeds the range of MON OUT frame rates, use half the frame rate
of the REC OUT.
When the MON OUT settings are done, press HOME.
If sensor is not set by REC OUT, press FPS and choose the desired
sensor fps value from the list. Then press the jogwheel.
If the desired value is not available, press the ADD screen button to
set the desired value and add it to the list by pressing the jogwheel.
All frame rate settings should be correct now.
High Speed Mode
If a valid High Speed license key is installed on the camera, the upper
middle screen button will provide a link to switch the camera into High Speed
mode. Loading the High Speed mode takes approximately 40 seconds.
In High Speed mode, the camera can only run frame rates of 60.000-
120.000 fps. Default frame rates in the FPS list are 60.000, 72.000, 75.000,
90.000, 96.000, 100.000 and 120.000 fps. The REC OUT outputs carry the
same signal as the MON OUT with a maximum frame rate of 30 fps. The
correct sensor frame rate can only be recorded to Sony SxS PRO cards with
ProRes 422 Proxy, 422 LT, 422 and 422 HQ. To record Prores 422 or 422
HQ with frame rates higher than 60 fps, Sony SxS PRO cards with a
capacity of 64 GB must be used, as only these cards provide the required
sustained data rate.
