Connection
Input external synchronization signal to the external time code generator and the GENLOCK/AUX IN terminal of this device.
Use BB signals or
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
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.
Operation
1.Set the external time code generator and operate it.
•The

CAUTION
•If a time code generator is connected or disconnected during recording, servo lock will be disturbed.
•The user's bit data range for an input external time code generator is 00 00 00 00 to FF FF FF FF.
When FF FF FF FF is entered, FF FF FF FF is recorded.
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.
