Synchronizing with an External Device • When the camera locks on an external time code signal, [E] will appear next to the time code on the control display and at the bottom right corner of the monitoring screen. • 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. • While a DF time code signal is being received, the external time code's drop-frame bit will be used. • 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 camera off or pressing the PLAY button (switching to playback mode) - Changing the video configuration 107 Reference Video Signal Output You can output the camera's video signal as a reference sync signal (tri-level HD signal) to synchronize an external device to this camera. The reference video signal output will have the same frequency as the signal output from the SDI OUT terminals. 1 Open the GENLOCK/SYNC OUT terminal's [Terminal Function] submenu. [System Setup] (B) > [GENLOCK/SYNC OUT] > [Terminal Function] 2 Select [HD Sync Output] and then press SET. • If necessary, change the scan mode (P or PsF) with the [SYNC Scan Mode] setting in the same submenu.

When slow & fast motion recording is activated in crop mode ([On (crop)]), the signal output will always be 1080/60.00i. Time Code Signal Output The time code will be output from the TIME CODE IN/OUT terminal as a SMPTE-standard LTC timing signal. The user bit will also be output. Additionally, the time code will be output from the SDI OUT terminals and MON. terminals. Before connecting the external device, set [OPTIONS] > [TC In/Out] to [Out] to change the TIME CODE terminal's function to output (A 106). NOTES • The time code will not be output when slow & fast motion recording is activated or during playback.
