Time code when the battery is replaced

The backup function works even when the battery is replaced, and the time code generator continues to operate for a prolonged duration (approx. 1 year).

<Note>

If the POWER switch is turned on, then off, and then on again, the free-run time code backup accuracy is approximately ±2 frames.

4-5-4 Externally locking the time code

The unit’s internal time code generator can be locked to an external generator. In addition, the time code generator of an external VTR can be locked to the unit’s internal generator.

<Note>

When configuring a system using a multiple number of units, perform menu operations to open the <GENLOCK> screen from the SYSTEM SETTING page, and select DOWNCON as the GL PHASE item setting. This enables the phases of the down-converted output from the VIDEO OUT connector and the time code to be brought into alignment.

Example of connections for external locking

As the figure shows, connect both the reference video signal and reference time code.

Example 1: When locking onto an external signal

Operating procedure for external locking

Follow the steps below for external locking.

1 Set the POWER switch to ON.

2 Set the TCG switch to F-RUN.

3 Set the DISPLAY switch to TC.

4 Supply the reference time code and reference video signal, which are in a phase relationship that satisfies the time code standard, to the TC IN connector and GENLOCK IN connector respectively.

In place of the HD Y reference signal, PAL composite video signals can be input as the reference video signal.

The built-in time code generator is now locked to the reference time code.

About 10 seconds after locking, the external lock status will be retained even if the connection of the externally supplied reference time code is disconnected. However, the servo lock will be subject to disturbances if it is connected or disconnected during recording.
