Setting Time Data
Chapter 4 Adjustments and Settings for Recording
To unlock the externally locked time
code
Discontinue external time code supply, then position
the TCG switch at [R-RUN].
Cautions in switching the power
source from battery to external power
supply
Connect the DC IN socket with the external power
supply before removing the battery pack, in order to
keep the time code generator energized. If the battery
pack is removed first, there is no guarantee that the
time code will stay externally locked.
External synchronisation of the
camera when the time code is
externally locked
When the time code is externally locked, the reference
video signals input through the GENLOCK IN
connector gen-lock the camera.
<Notes>
•
To externally lock the AG-HPX500P/E, as the master
device, with more than one unit, the mode must be the
same as that of the camera. Note that in a system using
both interlaced and progressive scanning, there may
be breaks in the video and time code.
•
Note that switching to MCR mode will disrupt
GENLOCK synchronization resulting in loss of image
stability.
•
When the 24P or 24PA is selected and the time code
is externally locked, be sure to input a non-drop frame
time code. The time code cannot be externally locked
when drop frame mode is selected. When the time code
is externally locked, the video may be distorted, but
this is because of the 5-frame adjustment and not a
malfunction.
Outputting the time code
externally
To output time code from the camera’s TC OUT
connector to a VTR or other recording device in sync
with camera picture or playback picture, set the setting
menu TC VIDEO SYNCRO (OUTPUT SEL) to VIDEO
OUT.
Set also the setting menu GL SELECT (OTHER
FUNCTIONS) to SDI or COMPOSITE to suit video
output.
