b Synchronizing with an External
Device
• If the external Genlock signal is incorrect or there is no input signal, the
external time code that is recorded may be incorrect.
• When an external time code signal is received, the camcorder’s own
time code will be synchronized to it and the synchronization will be
maintained even if you disconnect the cable from the TIME CODE
terminal. However, performing any of the following actions while the
cable is not connected will cause the synchronization to be disrupted;
the correct time code will be restored once you reconnect the cable.
- Turning the camcorder off/on
- Changing the operating mode to
mode
- Changing the video configuration
- Changing the frame rate
• If the external time code signal is incorrect or there is no input signal,
the internal time code set in the [L TC/UB Setup] [Time Code]
submenu will be recorded instead.
• When the camcorder locks on an external time code signal,
[EXT-LOCK] appears on the side panel.
Time Code Signal Output
The time code will be output from the TIME CODE terminal as an SMPTE-
standard LTC timing signal. The user bit will also be output. Before
connecting the device, set the TIME CODE terminal to output. If you set
the [N Video Setup]
[SDI Output] setting to [HD] or [SD], the
embedded time code will be output from the HD/SD SDI terminal.
NOTES
• The user bit of the time code signal is output while the camcorder is
recording in mode or during playback of a clip in mode.
