Synchronizing with an External Device
English
NOTES
• When [¢ Video Setup] > [3G/HD-SDI] is set to [Direct], the camcorder will synchronize with a Genlock
signal that has the same frequency as that used for recording. However, when in addition to that, the frame
rate is set to 23.98P, you can synchronize instead to an external 29.97 Hz or 59.94 Hz signal by setting
[¤ TC/UB Setup] > [Time Code] > [XF Legacy Sync] to [On].
• 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
camcorder 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 MXF clips. 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 90).
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
MXF clips along with the time code itself.
1 Open the user bit [Recording Mode] submenu.
[¤ TC/UB Setup] > [User Bit] > [Recording Mode]
2 Select [External] and then press SET.
NOTES
• The camcorder will synchronize with an external time code that has the
same frequency as that used for recording. However, when the frame rate is set to 23.98P, you can
synchronize instead to a 30-frame time code signal by setting [¤ TC/UB Setup] > [Time Code] > [XF
Legacy Sync] to [On].
• When a suitable 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
• 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.
• While a time code signal is being received, the external time code’s drop-frame bit will be used.
Operating modes:
[¤ TC/UB Setup]
[Time Code]
[TC In/Out]
[In]
[¤ TC/UB Setup]
[User Bit]
[Recording Mode]
