NOTES
• The Genlock signal synchronization stabilizes after approximately
10 seconds.
• Genlock synchronization is possible even when a standard definition Genlock signal is input. However,
Genlock synchronization is not possible when the camcorder’s video configuration is 1080i and the input
signal is 720P.
• If the external Genlock signal is incorrect or there is no input signal, the external time code that is recorded
may be incorrect.
• While a time code signal is being received, the external time code’s drop-frame bit will be used.
• When an external time code signal is received, the camcorder’s own time code will be synchronized to it and
the synchronization will be maintained even if you disconnect the cable from the GENLOCK/TC terminal.
However, performing any of the following actions while the cable is not connected will cause the
synchronization to be disrupted; the correct time code will be restored once you reconnect the cable.
- Turning the camcorder off/on
- Changing the operating mode to
mode
- Changing the video configuration
- Changing the frame rate
• If the external time code signal is incorrect or there is no input signal, the internal time code set in the
[
L
TC/UB Setup]
[Time Code] submenu will be recorded instead.
Time Code Signal Output
The time code will be output from the GENLOCK/TC terminal as an SMPTE-standard LTC timing signal. The
user bit will also be output. Before connecting the device, set the GENLOCK/TC terminal to output. If you set the
[

[SDI Output] setting to [HD] or [SD], the embedded time code will be output from the HD/
SD SDI terminal.
