1 Input the external synchronizing signal to the external time code generator and the [GENLOCK/AUX INPUT] terminal of this camera recorder.

Make use of BB signal or HDTV 3 level synchronizing signal as the external synchronizing signal.

Note :

If the power of the camera recorder is turned ON/OFF during input of the external synchronizing signal, the screen may be disrupted for a few seconds. This is not a malfunction.

2 Input the SMTPE/EBU LTC time code from the external time code generator to the [TC IN] terminal of this camera recorder.

Camera Recorder Operation

1 Set the external time code generator or master device, and run the time code.

When the built-in time code generator is synchronized with the input of the external time code generator, L on the STATUS 1 screen or enlarged status display screen will light up.

If the time code is not synchronized or when there is no time code input, L does not light up.

Memo :

After synchronization is complete, the built-in time code generator will continue to run even when the external time code generator or master device is disconnected.

The user’s bit becomes the data of the external time code generator or master device.
