b Synchronizing with an External Device

Using genlock synchronization, you can synchronize this camcorder's
video signal to that of an external video device. Similarly, using an external
time code signal, you can synchronize this camcorder's time code to the
external signal. Using the external time code signal with multiple cameras
allows you to set up a multi-camera recording. You can also output the
time code signal from this camcorder to achieve the same result. If you
output the time code from the HD/SD SDI terminal to an editing device,
the editor can create video with the same time code.

Connecting an External Device

When synchronizing the camcorder to an external signal, input a
reference video signal* through the GENLOCK terminal or a time code
signal through the TIME CODE terminal. For a time code signal, set the
TIME CODE terminal to input or output in advance.

Connect the external device to the camcorder’s GENLOCK terminal or
TIME CODE terminal as shown in the following diagram.

* For the reference video signal, you can use an analog blackburst or tri-level signal.
