Chapter 4 Shooting — Selection of external reference signal and generator lock setting

Selection of external reference signal and generator lock setting

Locking the video signal to the external reference signal

The video signal output from the camera can be locked to the reference signal supplied from an external source.

The camera can receive external reference signals from the <GENLOCK IN/VIDEO OUT> terminal.

Generator-locking to the reference signal supplied from the <GENLOCK IN/VIDEO OUT> terminal

The HD-Y signal or a composite signal matching the system frame frequency is supplied to the <GENLOCK IN/VIDEO OUT> terminal. To enable the

reference signal input to the <GENLOCK IN/VIDEO OUT> terminal, the <IN/OUT> switch needs to be set to <IN>. Select the output signal to lock to the

input reference signal from the main menu

NOTE

The subcarrier of the composite signal of the camera is not locked to the subcarrier of the reference signal.

Output status

The output status changes as follows according to selection of the external reference signal and generator lock setting.
