If your equipment allows you to do so, you should genlock 3Play and all cameras you configure as
sources for it (see your camera manual for details). To do so, supply the reference signal from the
‘house sync generator’ to 3Play’s Genlock input connector.
3.4.3 TIMECODE CONNECTION (3PLAY 4800 AND 440)
3Play supports external linear timecode (LTC). Connect the cable from your timecode generator
to one of the connectors in the Audio Input 7 group for 3Play 4800 or, for 3Play 440, either Input
3 or one of the 3.5mm audio input jacks (line or mic level) on the back of the system. External
timecode is enabled and configured in the Replay Desktop (see Section 7.3).
3.5 OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Next we’ll discuss the audio and video output connectors along with relevant settings. We’ll start
with video output, not only so you can view your results, but because some aspects are best
considered before even beginning a 3Play session.
3.5.1 A/V OUTPUT
3Play provides several video and audio output connector groups, and very flexible options for
display of your live and recorded video streams. Here are some of the possibilities:

Simultaneously send two indpendent outputs to extneral devices.

Send 3Play audio and video output to a network-connected TriCaster ™.

Simultaneously send output to both analog and digital devices.

Transmit another output or multi-bridge monitoring layout to a secondary monitor (or
projector) via the Multiview port.

Another output option is provided via an HDMI port. This output tracks the active 3Play
Channel Delegate (A or B).

Finally, two Display ports provide Channel A and B video to two further computer style
monitors.
