About the external synchronizing function
With this unit, the video output signal can be synchronized with NTSC/PAL signals or HD tri-level synchronizing signals
(external synchronizing signals) (External Sync function). This makes it possible to set the timing without connecting
a TBC (time base corrector) or other such device, so the picture can be switched without being disturbed.
• To use the external sync function, set External Sync to On (page 45).
• When using the external sync function, set the external synchronizing signal, playback file format and Scaler
Setting resolution to the same settings (page 45).
• When using the external sync function, use one of the following formats:
720 x 480/59.94i, 720 x 576/50i, 1280 x 720/50p, 1280 x 720/59.94p, 1920 x 1080/50i, 1920 x 1080/59.94i
• The external sync function does not work if Memory 1, Memory 2 or Memory 3 is selected at Video Settings.
Select Standard when using the picture quality adjustment function (page 44).
•The VIDEO OUT terminal has a fixed NTSC or PAL output. The external sync function cannot be used with this
terminal.
To synchronize one player
Set the 75 Ω (terminating switch) on this unit’s rear panel to ON.
To synchronize two or more players with a sync generator
Set the terminal player’s 75 Ω (terminating switch) to ON, the 75 Ω (terminating switches) of the other players to OFF.
Caution
• Does not lock to the external synchronizing signal’s subcarrier component.
• The picture output from the VIDEO OUT, COMPONENT VIDEO OUT and HDMI OUT terminals will be disturbed
for about 30 seconds until locking to the external synchronizing signal.
• Input the external synchronizing signal before playing. Synchronizing is not possible if the signal is input after
playback starts.
• Depending on the sync generator and cables, the external synchronizing signal ma y be attenuated when multiple
players are connected, and this may keep the external sync function from operating.
• The external sync function synchronizes with the video signal’s waveform, not with the timing of the picture. To
synchronize with the picture, use a separate controller.
