Externally Locking the Time Code
The time code generator built into your
Connections for externally locking the time code (examples)
As illustrated, both the reference video signals and the time code must be input.
Example 1: Locking the time code to external signals

NOTE
•In addition to an HD Y reference signal, a composite video signal can also be input as reference signal.
•Input composite video signals when the system mode is 480i (576i) (SD) and 720P.
•During
•If the reference GENLOCK input signal becomes irregular and recording cannot be normally performed, “TEMPORARY PAUSE IRREGULAR FRM SIG” blinks in red in the viewfinder and on the LCD screen and the current clip is divided. The continuity of the time code cannot be guaranteed. Recording resumes when the signal returns to normal. Recording
will not resume if interval,

NOTE
•Set the menu option TC VIDEO SYNCHRO to TC IN in the OUTPUT SEL screen and the menu option GL PHASE to COMPOSITE in the OTHER FUNCTIONS screen on both units.
•Setting TC VIDEO SYNCHRO in the OUTPUT SEL screen to TC IN will supply the time code via TC IN to the next slave device without delay.
•The subcarrier in the VBS signal of the VIDEO OUT connector of the camera cannot be externally locked.
To externally lock the time code
Follow the steps below.

|
4 | Supply a |
| time code (that conforms to the time code |
| requirements) and reference video signals |
| to the TC IN and GENLOCK IN connectors, |
| respectively. |
