This is a normal phenomenon. 6. Synchronization Setting (SYNC) You can select internal sync mode (INT) or line-lock mode (LL). Additionally, this model accepts the VBS signal (color composite video or blackburst signal) and VS signal (B/W composite video or composite sync signal). The VD2 signal (multiplexed vertical drive signal) with the composite video output signal from external equipment such as a Matrix Switcher is also acceptable. Whenever the VD2 signal is supplied to this camera, the camera automatically switches to the VD2 sync mode.
