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. 88 You can output the time code signal from this camera to other cameras. You can also output the time code signal from the SDI OUT terminal to an editing device (while recording or during playback), so the editor can create video with the same time code. Additionally, you can use the G-LOCK/SYNC terminal to synchronize this camera's video signal to a reference signal* from an external video device (Genlock synchronization) or to send out the camera's video signal as a synchronization reference signal*. * As reference video signal (input signal) for Genlock synchronization, you can use an analog blackburst or tri-level HD signal. The reference video output signal will be a tri-level HD signal. Connecting an External Device When synchronizing a time code signal, connect the external device to the TIME CODE terminal on the camera. When synchronizing with a reference video signal, connect the external device to the G-LOCK/SYNC terminal. Be sure to set either terminal to input or output in advance.

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

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 output the time code signal from this camera to other cameras. You can also output the time code

signal from the SDI OUT terminal to an editing device (while recording or during playback), so the editor can

create video with the same time code.

Additionally, you can use the G-LOCK/SYNC terminal to synchronize this camera’s video signal to a reference

signal* from an external video device (Genlock synchronization) or to send out the camera’s video signal as a

synchronization reference signal*.

As reference video signal (input signal) for Genlock synchronization, you can use an analog blackburst or tri-level HD signal. The

reference video output signal will be a tri-level HD signal.

Connecting an External Device

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

When synchronizing with a reference video signal, connect the external device to the G-LOCK/SYNC terminal.

Be sure to set either 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, 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.
