Progressive mode
so we don't need to deinterlace manually using 1080 with HD-SDI
Camera Manual Part 2, Page 23:
You can shoot in progressive mode when you select 25P for 1080 mode in AVCHD mode or 25P for 576 mode in DV mode in the REC FORMAT item on the setup menu RECORDING SETUP screen. […]
25P mode: Shoots 25 frames/second in the progressive mode. For output and recording of video signal, the 25 frames/second image is converted to 50-field-per-second interlace signal [for SDI output]. This mode gives high quality video.

Limiter
The limiter is a compressor with a threshold off 0db or a little below 0 an 0ms attack and 1:∞ compression. The limiter is disabled when the the pegel switch is set to “AUTO”
Power Supply
The camera can be powered by DC using a dummy battery-pack. According to the data sheet, it wants to have 7.3 V but since the Li-Ion battery will output 8.4 V when fully charged, using a 7.5 V off-the-shelf power supply is fine.
The battery dummy does not contain any (active) components besides a ferrite core.
A Mean Well GST18A07 has enough power, but GST25A07 is also fine if easier to obtain. Just solder the cable of the dummy battery to the DC output of the power supply.
