Synchronizing with an External Device Synchronizing with an External Device Using genlock synchronization, you can synchronize this camcorder's video signal to that of an external video device. Similarly, using an external time code signal, you can synchronize this camcorder's time code to the 88 external signal. Using the external time code signal with multiple cameras allows you to set up a multi-camera recording. You can also output the time code signal from this camcorder to achieve the same result. If you output the time code from the HD/SD SDI terminal to an editing device, the editor can create video with the same time code. Connecting an External Device When synchronizing the camcorder to an external signal, input a reference video signal* through the GENLOCK terminal or output the camcorder's signal as a reference signal for an external device through the SYNC OUT terminal. When synchronizing a time code signal, use the TIME CODE terminal. Be sure to set the TIME CODE terminal to input or output in advance. Connect the external device to the camcorder as shown in the following diagram. * For the reference video signal, you can use an analog blackburst or tri-level signal. Connection Diagram GENLOCK terminal SYNC OUT terminal TIME CODE terminal GENLOCK synchronization Time code synchronization Reference Video Signal Input (Genlock Synchronization) When a reference sync signal (analog blackburst or tri-level signal) is input through the GENLOCK terminal, the phases of the camcorder's V and H sync will automatically be synchronized to it. The phase difference between the external Genlock signal and the camcorder is initially set to 0. The H phase can be adjusted within the range of approximately ±0.4 H (HD equivalent). Operating modes: 1 Open the [Genlock Adjust.] submenu. [w Other Functions] > [Genlock Adjust.] 2 Adjust the phase to the desired level, select [Set] and then press SET. • Use the joystick (Ý) or SELECT dial to select the value for each field and press SET to move to the next field.
