Power Saving Mode
You can extend battery operation time by putting
the unit into power saving mode, which saves
power during recording and playback by turning
off unnecessary signals and enabling other power
saving features.
Settings related to power saving mode include
"LED" and "TALLY" under SYSTEM Setup
>POWER in the VTR menu (see page 184), and
the settings on the <POWER SAVE> page of the
Camera >MAINTENANCE menu (see
page 154).
As described below, you can also reduce power
consumption by selecting lower output levels and
by turning off the functions of unit circuits that
you are not using.
• Under INPUT SEL in the VTR >AUDIO Setup
menu, turn off all audio inputs. This turns off
the power of the audio input circuits.
• Lower the volume of your earphones.
• Turn off the backlight of the control panel.
• Lower the brightness of the subdisplay
backlight.
• Detach the control panel. (Before doing this,
you can assign basic tape transport functions to
the assignable buttons/switch.)
• Detach the AP-1 (optional) (the same
operations are available on the subdisplay).
• If you need only the camera module and will not
be running the tape, you can put the unit into
standby off mode by doing the following. This
turns the drum drive off.
- Press the FUNC + STOP buttons on the
control panel (see page 22).
- Set SYSTEM Setup >SERVO >STBY OFF in
the VTR menu to "1sec" (see page 182).
- With an assignable button/switch to which the
VTR SAVE function is assigned, select
SAVE (see page 54).
- Eject the cassette.
• When the HKSR-9001 is installed:
1 Turn HD SDI A/B output off by setting
the ON/OFF switch of the HD SDI OUT
A/B connectors on the rear panel
(page 20) to OFF.
2 Turn the AUX IN input circuits off by
making the following settings:
- On the <GENLOCK> page of the Camera
>MAINTENANCE menu, set REFERENCE
to something other than AUX IN
- Set audio input to something other than SDI
- Set TC REGEN SRC to something other than
AUX IN.
- Set SYSTEM Setup >FORMAT >INPUT
SEL in the VTR menu to CAM.
The HKSR-9001 is powered off when you do
both 1 and 2 above.
• Power off unneeded accessories, or disconnect
them.
See "VTR Menu Operations" (page 171) and "Basic
Camera Menu Operations" (page 124) for more
information about operations in the VTR and
Camera menus.
