50 DMC 1000 Digital Media Camcorder User’s Guide (v1.15)
Chapter 3 - General set-up
3.13 Genlock
To genlock the output signal of the camcorder to an external source, set the lock source item in
the SYSTEM/HARDWARE/GENLOCK menu. There are three options: None, Analog and Digital.
• When set to None, the camcorder uses the internally generated clock.
• When set to Analog, the camcorder uses a CVBS or LTC signal applied to the Analog In
connector at the rear-right of the camcorder.
The reference source supplied must match the type of input signal selected in the
SYSTEM/HARDWARE/PORTS/ANALOG INPUT menu. For example, if you apply a CVBS
signal, then CVBS must be selected as the analog input signal; if you apply a LTC signal,
then LTC must be selected.
• When set to Digital, the camcorder uses an SDI signal applied to the Digital In connector
at the rear-right of the camcorder.
☞Note
For the camcorder to genlock correctly, the reference source must match the temporal
frequency mode of the camcorder. If they do not match, the camcorder reverts automatically
to the internal clock.
