Canon XA40 HDMI Output issue

Gartcat — Thu, 17 Dec 2020 23:51:22 GMT

Hi,

I can't find instructions on turning on the HDMI output for the XA40, it seems to be off and the manual only shows instructions for turning it on for the XA45, which is very frustrating. I just want to hook the camera up to a capture card for Zoom. Is it even possible?

Thanks!

Tom

You don't need to 'turn on' HDMI output on the XA40, that's why its not mentioned in the manual - you just connect to a compatible HDMI display/capture device. With the XA45 you have to select whether you are going to use the HDMI or SDI OUT terminal - the camcorder cannot output signals from both terminals simultaneously.
