b Synchronizing with an External
Device
Using a Reference Video Signal
(Genlock Synchronization)
When a reference sync signal (analog blackburst or tri-level signal) is input
through the GENLOCK terminal, the phases of the camcorder's V and H
sync will automatically be synchronized to it. The phase difference
between the external Genlock signal and the camcorder is initially set to
0. The H phase can be adjusted within the range of approximately ±0.4 H
(HD equivalent).
1 Open the [Genlock Adjust.] submenu.
[J Other Functions] [Genlock Adjust.]
2 Adjust the phase to the desired level and then press SET.
Using a Time Code Signal
An external SMPTE-standard LTC timing signal received from the TIME
CODE terminal will be recorded as the time code. The user bit of the
external timing signal can also be recorded. Before connecting the
device, set the TIME CODE terminal to input. Also, you must set the
running mode of the time code to [Free Run] (0 85).
1 Open the [TC In/Out] submenu.
[L TC/UB Setup] [Time Code] [TC In/Out]
2 Select [In] and then press SET.
Recording the User Bit of an External Signal
The user bit of an external time code signal can also be recorded with the
time code itself.
1 Open the user bit [Rec Mode] submenu.
[L TC/UB Setup] [User Bit] [Rec Mode]
2 Select [External] and then press SET.
NOTES
• The Genlock signal synchronization stabilizes after approximately
10 seconds.
• Genlock synchronization is possible even when a standard definition
Genlock signal is input. However, Genlock synchronization is not
possible when the camcorder’s video configuration is 1080i and the
input signal is 720P.
