Chapter 4 Adjustments and settings for recording (continued)

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 socket, 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 GENLOCK IN connector.

<Notes>

O When 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.

O It takes time to synchronize GEN LOCK. Please do not record or do any other operations until synchronization is finished (approx. 10 sec.).
