you could play a test tone through the camera from a firewire input off your NLE. or import a .mxf with a tone signal on it and play it back. what do you need the tone for?

Yes, I know that the testtone is just for Audio. The most TV Companies wanna have 30 sec. Bars with 1Khz testtone on the tape u know? thats why I need the tone. But I got A second Question: The Zoom of the HVX 200. U know where u can swich between zoomspeed 1, 2 and 3. I can use 1 its very slow, and I can use 3 its very fast, but if I swich to 2 there is nothing. The Zoom doesn´t work at speed 2. u know what I have to do? I´m afraid there´s anything broken, but I got the camera since 3 weeks and the zoom speed 2 doesn´t work even I testet it the first time please help ;-)
 
I'm not sure if this will help you, but here is a ZIP file with Color Bars with Tone that you can copy to a P2 card and play from the camera. It looks like you're in Europe, so I made a PAL version -- let me know if you need NTSC.

Regarding your zoom speed problem, go to the MENU, then SW MODE, and check your HANDLE ZOOM setting. Two of the available settings disable the zoom in position 2.
 
Kamerabursch,

Under the menu settings, I believe it is under user settings you can change the zoom handle so that 2 is medium instead of off. Just search around the menus for a bit you will see it.

You currently have it set as the standard L/OFF/H.
