Synchronizing with an External Device
Reference Video Signal Input (Genlock Synchronization)
When a reference sync signal (analog blackburst or tri-level HD signal) is input through the GENLOCK/
SYNC OUT terminal, the phases of the camera’s V and H sync will automatically be synchronized to it. The
phase difference between the external Genlock signal and the camera is initially set to 0. The H phase can be
adjusted within the range of approximately ±0.4 H.
1 Open the GENLOCK/SYNC OUT terminal’s [Select] submenu.
[¢ Picture/Terminals Setup] > [GENLOCK/SYNC OUT Term.] >
[Select]
2 Select [Genlock Input] and then press SET.
3 Open the [Genlock Adjustment] submenu.
[¢ Picture/Terminals Setup] > [GENLOCK/SYNC OUT Term.] >
[Genlock Adjustment]
4 Push the joystick up/down or turn the SELECT dial to select the
value of the first field of the H phase and then press SET to move to the next.
• Change the rest of the fields in the same way to select the desired adjustment level (–1023 to 1023).
5 Select [Set] and then press SET.
NOTESNOTES
• When a suitable Genlock signal is input, the Genlock synchronization stabilizes after approximately
10 seconds.
• When a suitable Genlock signal is detected, the U icon will flash on the upper right of the screen. When the
camera locks on the external Genlock signal, the icon will stay on.
• If the external Genlock signal is incorrect, the synchronization may not be stable. In such case, the recorded
time code may be incorrect.
Time Code Signal Input
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 with clips. Before connecting
the device, set the TIME CODE terminal to input with the procedure below
and make sure the time code running mode is set to [Free Run] (A 92).
1 Open the [TC In/Out] submenu.
[¢ Picture/Terminals Setup] > [Time Code] > [TC In/Out]
2 Select [In] and then press SET.
