Output range Select to set which bit range of the full 10
bit range (0-1023) is used to transmit image
data.
Legal: Uses values 64-940 for RGB
and Y signals, and values 64-960 for
CbCr signals. This complies with
SMPTE 274M 8.7.
Extended: uses values 4-1019, which
results in about 10% more steps. This
complies with SMPTE 274M 8.12
(called undershoot/overshoot).
Note: Check which mode your recorder
supports. If you set the camera to extended,
but your recorder only supports legal, you
will end up with clipped images!
REC OUT fps sets
sensor fps
If set to "On", the sensor will always follow
the REC OUT frame rate setting. This
ensures no frames are dropped on the
output.
Note: Both REC OUT and MON OUT carry a flag in their data stream to signal
an external recorder that the camera has started or stopped recording
internally. When internal recording is switched off, the REC button will only
send the flag to trigger the external recorder—it will not start or stop internal
recording. Additionally, another flag in the HD-SDI stream, called the Vari flag,
marks duplicate images. A recorder that supports the Vari flag can detect these
frames and discard them. This ensures that no duplicate frames are recorded if
HD-SDI is set to a higher frame rate than the sensor.
