4 Depending on the frame frequency setting of this unit, supply the reference timecode and reference video signal shown in the following table to the TC IN connector 1) and GENLOCK IN connector, respectively. The input reference timecode and reference video signal must meet the phase relationship requirements of the the SMPTE timecode standard. (Excluding the case where the frame frequency is 23.98P.)
1) Input to the TC IN connector.
Set the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to F-RUN.
Set the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to PRESET.

Example 2: Connecting two units, and using one as the reference

Notes

•When making the following connections, set the frame frequency to the same value on both units. Wait until the reference camcorder becomes stable (a state where a normal picture appears on the viewfinder screen or the LCD monitor), and then connect the other camcorders.

•When the frame frequency of this unit is 23.98P, make sure that the reference unit is either recording or in the recording stopped state.
