Headphone Output Jack (4)
This is a standard ¼" Stereo Jack connector. The level of the headphone output can be
adjusted using the headphone level control. When the NAGRA-V is connected to a
standard telephone line the return feed of the line is always available in the headphones.
The output pot will also affect the headphone level.
Headphone and Speaker Level Control (5)
Rotary volume control for the headphones. This potentiometer acts as if it is in series with
the output level potentiometer.
External Sync. or Video Input (6)
If the NAGRA-V is fitted with the internal Time Code option then this is the connector
where a video signal (PAL, NTSC, NTSC B/W, 75 Ohms internally loaded) or an
external work clock can be imported. The external sync input is yet another way to
synchronise the internal clocks of the NAGRA-V. The advantage of this 5V logic input is
that it can be used to control the VCXO (Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator) from an
external source. The input can be 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz with a logic voltage level
from min. 0.5 V to 5.0 V. This signal can be fed to the machine through the BNC connector.
Operation of the Time Code is covered in detail in CHAPTER 3 of this manual.
Time Code In/Out Lemo Connector (7)
The time code input and output is located on a 5 pole LEMO connector, the pinning of
which corresponds to that of the IV-STC, the NAGRA-D and T-Audio-TC. The time code
system of the NAGRA-V is more versatile than that of the IV-STC or NAGRA T-Audio. It
offers possibilities that were not previously available and also requires care on the part of
the operator to ensure that the correct information is being recorded and displayed at all
times.
Operation of the Time Code is covered in detail in CHAPTER 3 of this manual.

Camera Monitor Return (8)
This input can be used to return the audio signal from a camera to the headphones (or
speaker) of the Nagra-V. If in the menu CAMERA RETURN is set, the selection between
the return signal or the Nagra-V inputs or playback signals is made by the EE/AUTO/TAPE
selector. In the TAPE position, only the camera return signal goes to the speaker (headphones). This
return signal can not be recorded on the disk.
The return level can only be adjusted via the menu settings. See chapter 2.
Note: Early Nagra-V s have MON. instead off CAM. RET. printed on the panel
