PMW-350 side Video Out Port?

[Ian Cook]

Hi Michael,

The Video Out port gives you either an analog composite signal or the luminance (Y) channel of the HD signal (selectable in the Operational menu under Input and Output–>Output and i.LINK). It is intended for monitoring purposes and will output a down converted SD signal regardless of whether the SD option is installed.

Thanks. That’s what I thought.
What we discovered was that the color phase of the SD composite signal has no relationship with the color phase of the HD/SDI signal and not knowing that required a re-do of a base-line camera set up… It was a gotcha we should have anticipated, but unfortunate. I have always used the HD/SDI out for monitoring, but now I understand how it can be used as a second monitor, but not a “test out.” as in the older cameras in that form-factor.
