Synchronizing with an External Device
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. 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] (A 84).
1 Open the [TC In/Out] submenu.
[¤ 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.
[¤ TC/UB Setup] > [User Bit] > [Rec Mode]
2 Select [External] and then press SET.
NOTES
• The Genlock signal synchronization stabilizes after approximately 10 seconds. When the camcorder locks on
an external Genlock signal, U will appear on the upper right of the screen.
• If the external Genlock signal is incorrect or there is no input signal, the external time code that is recorded
may be incorrect.
• While a time code signal is being received, the external time code’s drop-frame bit will be used (if the external
time code is non-drop frame, [NDF] will appear on the rear panel).
• When an external time code signal is received, the camcorder’s own time code will be synchronized to it and
the synchronization will be maintained even if you disconnect the cable from the TIME CODE terminal.
However, performing any of the following actions while the cable is not connected will cause the
synchronization to be disrupted; the correct time code will be restored once you reconnect the cable.
- Turning the camcorder off/on
- Changing the operating mode to mode
- Changing the video configuration
- Changing the frame rate
• If the external time code signal is incorrect or there is no input signal, the internal time code set in the
[¤ TC/UB Setup] > [Time Code] submenu will be recorded instead.
• When the camcorder locks on an external time code signal, [EXT-LOCK] appears on the rear panel.
