Location and Functions of Parts

Note

When using B/W return mode (see “qh System setting switches” on page 18) and inputting a return video signal to the RETURN VIDEO IN connector, always input a reference sync signal to the GENLOCK IN connector to synchronize the return video signal with the sync signal. Failure to synchronize the return video signal with a sync signal can cause camera/camcorder synchronization to become unstable.
