Connections
Connect the master unit and the slave unit with an IEEE1394 cable.
Settings and Operations
•Master unit
1.Set the IEEE1394 switch on the left side to [DV].
2.Set to Camera mode.
3.Set the recording format to
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.
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.

Connection
Input external synchronization signal to the external time code generator and the GENLOCK/AUX IN terminal of this device.

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.

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.
