Using a nonlinear editing system
For a nonlinear editing system, optional editing
software that corresponds to the recording
formats used with this camcorder is required.
Store the clips to be edited on the HDD of your
computer in advance, using the dedicated
application software.
When multiple units of the camcorder are used in
the same shooting location, synchronized
recording can be made with a specific reference
signal, and the timecode can be matched among
all the units.
Aligning the phase of the video signal
(Genlock)
Genlock operation is enabled by supplying a
reference signal to the GENLOCK IN connector
(page 16) of the camcorder.
Valid reference signals depend on the system
frequency setting.
You can check the genlock status on “Reference”
in “Genlock”
(page 108) of the System menu.
Notes
• If the reference signal is unstable, genlock is not
possible.
• The subcarrier is not synchronized.
