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 synchro- nized 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.

Synchronizing with an Exter- nal 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.

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.

Slide the IEEE1394

IEEE1394 terminal

switch to the [DV] side.

 

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/GY- HD110U/GY-HD110E/GY-HD111E/GY-HD250U/GY- HD251E)

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/GY- HD111E)

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 termi- nal 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.)

9.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.

LTC time code External time code

generator

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 syn- chronization signals.

CAUTION

When the power switch is turned on while the external syn- chronization 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.

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 dur- ing 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 synchroniza- tion signals to all GENLOCK/AUX IN terminals from the syn- chronization signal generator.
