Preparations and Main Functions

Adjustments for Genlock Operation

Genlocking is required for a system, which uses an SEG (special effects generator) as the main signal source.

REF. : “Example of Connection with 2 Units” on page 9.

NOTE

●The following adjustments can be made more accurately when using a vectorscope and waveform monitor.

●Be sure to use an underscanned video monitor.

●It is not permitted to genlock the system components using a VCR playback signal.

●Before phase adjustment, wait a little for the phases of the connected components to stabilize.

Preparation

1. Press the BARS button to output the color bar signal. The button light should light up.

2. Output the built-in color bar signal of the SEG from the program connector on the front panel of the SEG. (Refer to the INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL of the SEG.)

3. Observing the monitor screen at the same time, adjust the H PHASE (horizontal phase) and SC (subcarrier phase) while using the switch on the SEG to alternately change between color bars of the internal RM-HP250 that of the SEG.

Adjusting the H PHASE

4. Press and hold the MENU button for about 3 seconds until the LCD display shows the menu display.

5. Ensure that the cursor () is located on “1: GENLOCK”, then press the control knob to display “1A: SD H PHASE” or “1B: HD H PHASE”.

6. Press the control knob to move the cursor () to the currently set value, then turn the control knob to adjust the H PHASE value (HD: –1024 to 1023, SD: –128 to 127).

After the adjustment, press the control knob to move the cursor () back to “1: GENLOCK”.

NOTE

Screens 5 and 6 differ according to the VIDEO FORMAT of the camera.

Adjusting SC phase (Only for SD signal)

7. Turn the control knob to display “1C: SC COARSE”.

8. Press the control knob to move the cursor () to the currently set value, then turn the control knob to adjust the SC COARSE value (to 0°, 90°, 180° or 270°).

9. After the coarse adjustment, press the control knob to move the cursor () back to “1C: SC COARSE”, then press the control knob to display “1D: SC FINE”.

10. Press the control knob to move the cursor () to the currently set value, then turn the control knob to adjust the SC FINE value (from -128 to 127).

NOTE

SC COARSE and SC FINE are linked.

When the upper or lower limit of SC FINE is exceeded, the value of SC COARSE changes.

For example, when the value of SC COARSE is 0° and SC FINE is increased, once SC FINE exceeds 127, SC COARSE will become 90° and SC FINE will become - 128.

11. After the adjustment, press the MENU button to return to the previous display.

12. Press the BARS button to stop the color bar signal output.
