b Synchronizing with an External Device
1 Open the [Genlock/TC Term.] submenu.
[J Other Functions] [Genlock/TC Term.]
2 Select [Gen/TC 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.
[L TC/UB Setup] [User Bit] [Rec Mode]
2 Select [External] and then press SET.
NOTES
• The Genlock signal synchronization stabilizes after approximately
10 seconds.
• Genlock synchronization is possible even when a standard definition Genlock signal is input. However,
Genlock synchronization is not possible when the camcorder’s video configuration is 1080i and the input
signal is 720P.
• If the external Genlock signal is incorrect or there is no input signal, the external time code that is recorded
may be incorrect.
• 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 GENLOCK/TC 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
[L TC/UB Setup] [Time Code] submenu will be recorded instead.
Time Code Signal Output
The time code will be output from the GENLOCK/TC terminal as an SMPTE-standard LTC timing signal. The
user bit will also be output. Before connecting the device, set the GENLOCK/TC terminal to output. If you set the
[N Video Setup] [SDI Output] setting to [HD] or [SD], the embedded time code will be output from the HD/
SD SDI terminal.
1 Open the [Genlock/TC Term.] submenu.

2 Select [TC Out] and then press SET.
NOTES
• The user bit of the time code signal is output while the camcorder is
recording in mode or during playback of a clip in mode.
