Chapter 3 Adjustments and Settings Example 2: Interconnecting a number of camcorders (including one reference camcorder) To another camcorder to be synchronized 1 VIDEO OUT connector 2 TC OUT connector 3 TC IN connector 4 GENLOCK IN connector To lock the timecode to an external source 1 Turn on the POWER switch. 2 Set the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to PRESET. 3 Set the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to F-RUN. 4 Set the DISPLAY switch to TC. 5 Supply a timecode signal and a reference video signal complying with the SMPTE standard and in proper phase relationship, to the TC IN connector and to the GENLOCK IN connector, respectively. This operation synchronizes the internal timecode generator with the external timecode. After about 10 seconds, you can disconnect the external timecode without losing the synchronization. Notes • When you finish the above procedure, the internal timecode is immediately synchronized with the external timecode and the counter display will show the value of the external timecode. However, wait for a few seconds until the sync generator stabilizes before recording. • If the frequency of the reference video signal is not the same as the system frequency of the camcorder, the camcorder cannot be correctly genlocked. In such a case, the internal timecode is not correctly synchronized with the external timecode. User bit settings during timecode synchronization When the timecode is synchronized, only the time data is synchronized with the external timecode value. To release the timecode synchronization First disconnect the external timecode, then set the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to R-RUN. To change the power supply from the battery pack to an external power supply during timecode synchronization To maintain a continuous power supply, connect the external power supply to the DC IN connector before removing the battery pack. You may lose timecode synchronization if you remove the battery pack first. Camcorder synchronization during timecode synchronization During timecode synchronization, the camcorder is genlocked to the reference video signal input from the GENLOCK IN connector.
