Synchronizing with an External Device Synchronizing with an External Device You can use the camera's TIME CODE terminal to synchronize this camera's time code to an external signal. Using the same 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 camera to other cameras. 85 Connecting an External Device When synchronizing a time code signal, connect the external device to the TIME CODE terminal on the camera. Be sure to set the TIME CODE terminal to input or output in advance. Connection diagram TIME CODE terminal Standard TC signal BNC cable (commercially available) Time Code Signal Input An external SMPTE-standard LTC timing signal received from the TIME CODE terminal can be recorded as the time code. The user bit of the external timing signal can also be recorded with clips. Before connecting the device, set the TIME CODE terminal to input with the procedure below and make sure the time code running mode is set to [Free Run] (A 83). 1 Select > [B System Setup] > [TC In/Out] > [In]. 2 To record the external signal's user bit, select also Mode] > [External]. > [B System Setup] > [User Bit Recording NOTES • Synchronize the camera's time code with an external time code signal that matches the camera's system frequency. Use a 24-frame time code signal when the frame rate is set to 23.98P or 24.00P, a 25-frame time code signal when it is set to 25.00P, 50.00i or 50.00P and a 30-frame time code signal for other frame rates. • When a suitable external time code signal is received, the camera'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. • If the external time code signal is incorrect or there is no input signal, the internal time code set in the camera will be recorded instead. • When an external time code signal is received, the DF/NDF selection will follow the external time code signal's settings. • If an external time code signal is input while pre-recording is activated, there might be a discontinuity in the time code of the pre-recorded clip.

ynchronizing with an External Device

Synchronizing with an External Device

You can use the camera’s TIME CODE terminal to synchronize this camera’s time code to an external signal.

Using the same 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 camera to other cameras.

Connecting an External Device

When synchronizing a time code signal, connect the external device to the TIME CODE terminal on the camera.

Be sure to set the TIME CODE terminal to input or output in advance.

Time Code Signal Input

An external SMPTE-standard LTC timing signal received from the TIME CODE terminal can be recorded as the

time code. The user bit of the external timing signal can also be recorded with clips. Before connecting the

device, set the TIME CODE terminal to input with the procedure below and make sure the time code running

mode is set to [Free Run] (

NOTES

•

Synchronize the camera’s time code with an external time code signal that matches the camera’s system

frequency. Use a 24-frame time code signal when the frame rate is set to 23.98P or 24.00P, a 25-frame time

code signal when it is set to 25.00P, 50.00i or 50.00P and a 30-frame time code signal for other frame rates.

•

When a suitable external time code signal is received, the camera’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.

•

If the external time code signal is incorrect or there is no input signal, the internal time code set in the camera

will be recorded instead.

•

When an external time code signal is received, the DF/NDF selection will follow the external time code signal’s

settings.

•

If an external time code signal is input while pre-recording is activated, there might be a discontinuity in the

time code of the pre-recorded clip.
