Synchronous Playback Mode (SYNC PB) Synchronous Playback Mode (SYNC PB) This chapter describes playback and other operations in synchronous playback mode with two connected AG-HPD24 units. For details on connecting and switching modes, see the following section. (➝ "Synchronous Playback" Vol. 1, page 48) Playback Synchonous playback of clips on 2 units is possible when the following conditions are satisfied. (➝ "Synchronous Playback" Vol. 1, page 48) • The master side and slave side video have the same time code and format. • The thumbnail clip on the master side and slave side has the same number (arranged in the same date created order). • Time code in the clip is continuous. • The clips on the master side and slave side have the same length and the initial time code value is the same. Correct playback is not possible unless these conditions apply. Example 1: The starting point of the clip 1 is the same, but their length differs (the slave side clip is shorter). ➝ SDI output on the slave side is muted and turns black when the clip 1 on the slave side ends. At this time, you can use the SETUP - VIDEO - DISCRETE BLACK menu setting to select black/playback. The following figure shows when the DISCRETE BLACK menu setting is OFF.
