Adjustments and settings for recording
36
<Notes>
OWhen the external lock operation is performed, the time
code is instantly locked to the external time code, and the
same value as the external code value appears on the
counter display. Do not set the unit to the recording mode
during the few seconds it takes for the sync generator to
stabilize.
OThe images may be disrupted during the instant when
external locking is performed. This happens because the
5-frame period is adjusted, and it does not mean that the
unit is malfunctioning.
Concerning the user bit setting during external lock
When the unit’s time code is externally locked, only the time
data is locked to the time data of the time code supplied from
the external source. This means that the user bits can be set
separately for each component.
When the <TC/UB> screen is opened from the VTR menu
page and EXT is selected as the UB MODE item setting by
performing menu operations, the user bits can also be locked
to the user bits of the time code supplied from the external
source.
To release the external lock
First stop supplying the external time code, and set the TCG
switch to R-RUN.
When switching the power from the battery to an
external power supply while the time code is
externally locked
In order to ensure the continuity of the time code generator’s
power, connect the external power supply to the DC IN
connector, and then remove the battery pack. If the battery
pack is removed first, no guarantees can be made for the
continuity of the external locking of the time code.
Gen-locking of the camera unit while the time code
is externally locked
While the time code is externally locked, the camera unit is
gen-locked by the reference video signal which is supplied to
the GEN LOCK IN connector.
<Notes>
OWhen the signal from the unit’s HD SDI connector is to be
used as the reference video signal, first set the OUTPUT
SEL switch on the side panel to the CAM position.
OIt takes time to synchronize GEN LOCK. Please do not
record or do any other operations until synchronization is
finished.

Setting the UMID information
This unit supports metadata UMIDs. As the UMID data, the
user must first set the name of his or her country (with 3 or
fewer characters), the name of the company or organization
(with 4 or fewer characters), and the user name (with 4 or
fewer characters). Input the name of the country based on the
Country Codes
