Connecting to a 4K- or 2K-Compatible External Recorder
Connecting to a 4K- or 2K-Compatible External Recorder
When you use this camera to make 4K or 2K recordings, you must connect the camera to an external recorder*
using the 3G-SDI terminals. In addition to a video signal, the 3G-SDI terminals output an audio signal, time code
signal, metadata and clip name information. Output from the 3G-SDI terminal is enabled by default but if it has
been disabled, you must enable it after you connect the camera to the external recorder.
Refer also to the external recorder’s instruction manual for details on how to record.
* To make 4K recordings, the external recorder must be compatible with Canon RAW files. Refer to Canon’s Web site for the latest
information on compatible recorders.
1 Unscrew the screw on the MON./3G-SDI terminal cover and pull
the cover out.
2 Connect two commercially available BNC cables to the camera’s
3G-SDI terminals and the external recorder.
• Refer to the external recorder’s instruction manual for details.
3 Open the [3G-SDI Output] submenu.

[3G-SDI Output]
4 Select [On] and then press SET.
IMPORTANT
• After you connect the camera to the external recorder, make a test recording first to check if they are operating
correctly.
NOTES
• You can also remove the MON./3G-SDI terminal cover by sliding the screw toward the back of the camera and
then pulling it outward along with the cover.
• If you do not intend to use the 3G-SDI terminals in other situations, set the camera to MXF mode (
A
64 ) and
then close the MON./3G-SDI terminal cover in order to conserve the camera’s power. When you do so, the
camera can record only in MXF mode.
• You can use the [
~
Camera Setup]
>
[Color Space] setting to configure the color space of the video output
from the 3G-SDI terminal and MON. terminals to DCI-P3+ or Cinema Gamut. When checking the output, you
will need a display device that is compatible with each color space.
