You can synchronize the internal time code generator of the unit with an external time code signal (LTC).

To synchronize the internal time code to an external time code

1

2 Input an external time code (LTC) signal to the TC IN connector of the unit.

3 Set TC/UB IN on the TC/UB SET menu to TC&UB EXT or TC EXT.

4 Set TC RUN on the TC/UB SET menu to FREE RUN.

The internal time code generator locks onto the external time code and starts advancing. Once the internal time code generator has become synchronized in this way, you can disconnect the external time code input and this unit will maintain the time code.

Notes

•This unit has a DV jack. The time code input/output with a DV connection is different from that with other analog connections.

For details, see “DSR-45/45P time codes” on page 63 (GB).

•The time code output from this unit has some restrictions.

For details, see “Notes on the Time Codes” on page 64 (GB).
