Setting Time Data
User bit setting during external locking
When the time code is locked to an external source, only the time data is locked to the time data of the time code from the external source. Accordingly, the user bit can be set independently for each unit. The user bit can also be locked to the user bit of the time code from the external source.

Switching the power supply from the battery to an external power supply during external locking
In order to maintain power supply continuity for the time code generator, connect the external power supply to the DC IN connector before unplugging the battery pack. If the battery pack is unplugged first, the external locking continuity of the time code cannot be assured.
Synchronizing the camera section to an outside source during external locking
While the time code is locked to an external source, the camera section is genlocked by the reference video signal input to the GENLOCK IN connector.
