1.6 Synchronizing with other devices
When the Viper and Venom are to be synchronized with other cameras for a multi-camera
shoot or with other devices such as audio recorders or motion control rigs, it is necessary to
connect Genlock and/or Time Code.
1.6.1 Genlock
The Genlock signal required is HD Tri-level sync or Analog black reference, which must be
connected to the Venom via the docking plate BNC connector, not to the Viper. The
reference signal used must be of the same format as that selected on the camera.
1.6.2 Time Code
Both an internal TC run mode and an external TC mode are available:
– Internal run mode: time code is set to actual real time code. From the start, time code
is generated and recorded in sync with the incoming video signal. During PLAY the
time code is sent to the LTC output.
– Time code is set to the time code of the external TC generator.
