Connections

Connecting a Number of Camcorders

When using two or more synchronized camcorders, connect an external sync signal to the GEN LOCK IN connector, supplying a VBS or BS signal. The camcorder will then operate synchronized to this signal.

You can adjust the synchronization using the basic menu page 5. (See page 94.)

Note

When you fit the optional DSBK-501/501P, set the VIDEO IN to CAM using the basic menu page 4. (see page 93.)
