Connections for time code synchronization |
|
Connect both the reference video signal and the external |
|
time code as illustrated below. |

| PRESET | |
|
| REGEN | SET |
|
| CLOCK | |
TC IN | External time code | 3 | 1 2 |
GENLOCK IN * | Reference video signal |
|
|
* Set GENLOCK to ON on the GENLOCK page of the MAINTENANCE |

Example 2: Interconnecting a number of camcorders |
|
| |
and using one of them as the reference camcorder for |
|
| |
time code synchronization |
