PREPARATIONS FOR OPERATION Synchronizing with the Time Code of the IEEE1394 (DV)-Connected Master Unit You can synchronize the time code when performing multi-camera recording. The internal time code generator will be synchronized with the time code in the signal input from the IEEE1394 terminal. After synchronization (slave lock), the internal time code generator continues to run even if the IEEE1394 cable is disconnected.

IEEE1394 terminal You can use the GY-HD250U, GY-HD251E, GY-HD110U, or GY-HD111E as a slave unit. Connections Connect the master unit and the slave unit with an IEEE1394 cable. Settings and Operations • Master unit (GY-HD100U/GY-HD100E/GY-HD101E/GYHD110U/GY-HD110E/GY-HD111E/GY-HD250U/GYHD251E) 1. Set the IEEE1394 switch on the left side to [DV]. 2. Set to Camera mode. 3. Set the recording format to DV-60I or DV50I. 4. Set the TC GENE. switch to [FREE]. • Slave unit (GY-HD250U/GY-HD251E/GY-HD110U/GYHD111E) 1. Set the IEEE1394 switch on the left side to [DV]. 2. Set to VTR mode. 3. Check that the camera image from the master unit is input. 4. Set TCG SOURCE in the TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen to INTERNAL. (GY-HD250U, GY-HD251E) 5. Set the TC GENE. switch to [FREE] and the TC DISPLAY switch to [TC]. 6. Set to STOP mode or EJECT mode. 7. Press the STOP button for 1 second. • The DV input time code data from the IEEE1394 terminal is displayed in the status display. (When status is in magnified size, characters are displayed.) 8. Press the USER1 button to begin slave lock. (To skip slave lock, press the USER3 button and clear the status display.)

Check that the time code that is synchronized with the master unit is running. 10.Disconnect the IEEE1394 cable. 11.The slave unit finally returns to Camera mode. MEMO „ Slave lock cannot be performed in the following instances. • Slave unit is in CAMERA mode • Slave unit is in VTR mode and there is no DV signal • The TC GENE. switch on the slave unit is not set to FREE • HDV format „ If slave lock is performed in DV format and is then switched to HDV format, frame digit may deviate. „ If power is turned off, slave lock is disabled. Perform slave lock operation again. „ Slave lock cannot be performed for UB (User's bit). „ If the frame rate for the master unit and slave unit is not synchronized, it will not run properly. Synchronize frame rate before using. „ If DROP/NON DROP is not synchronized, it will not run properly. Synchronize DROP/NON DROP before using. 48 Synchronizing with an External Time Code Generator Synchronize the built-in time code generator with the SMPTE/EBU-compliant LTC time code, which is input from the [TC IN] terminal. After synchronization (slave lock), the built-in time code generator continues to run even if external time code are not input. PBPR/TC switch GENLOCK/AUX IN switch Synchronization signal CH2-AUDIO OUT-CH1 VIDEO Synchronization signal generator Synchronization signal GENLOCK IN TC IN IEEE 1394 External time code generator LTC time code Connection „ Input external synchronization signal to the external time code generator and the GENLOCK/AUX IN terminal of this device. Use BB signals or Tri-sync HD signals as the external synchronization signals. CAUTION When the power switch is turned on while the external synchronization signal is input, a vertical vibration occurs for a few seconds. This is not a malfunction. „ Input SMPTE/EBU-compliant LTC time code signal to the PB/TC IN terminal. Setting „ Set the [GENLOCK/AUX IN] switch to GENLOCK. „ Set the [PBPR/TC] switch to TC. „ Set TCG SOURCE in the TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen to EXTERNAL. „ Set the LCD screen or viewfinder to STATUS 1 screen dis- play. Or set the LCD screen to enlarged status display screen. X See page 29. Operation 1. Set the external time code generator and operate it. • The built-in time code generator synchronizes with the input external time code data. "L" lights up in the STATUS 1 screen of LCD screen or viewfinder. "L" also lights up when the LCD screen is in enlarged character display. STATUS 1 screen Enlarged display screen Lights up Lights up • "L" blinks when the time code cannot be synchronized. 2. The built-in time code generator continues to run even if the external time code generator is disconnected after synchronization. CAUTION If a time code generator is connected or disconnected during recording, servo lock will be disturbed. „ When connecting multiple devices and assigning one as the master unit and others as slave units If there is only one slave unit, connect as shown below. If there are multiple slave units, input external synchronization signals to all GENLOCK/AUX IN terminals from the synchronization signal generator.
