S ynchronizing with an External Device
Using Genlock synchronization, you can synchronize this camcorder’s video signal to that of an external video
device. Similarly, using an external time code signal, you can synchronize this camcorder’s time code to the
external signal. Using the external time code signal to synchronize multiple cameras/camcorders allows you to
set up a multi-camera recording. You can also output the time code signal from this camcorder to achieve the
same result. If you output the time code from the SDI terminal to an editing device, the editor can create video
with the same time code.
Connecting an External Device
When synchronizing the camcorder to an external signal*, use the G-LOCK/SYNC terminal. When synchronizing
a time code signal, use the TIME CODE terminal. Be sure to set the respective terminal to input or output in
advance.
Connect the external device to the camcorder as shown in the following diagram.
* As reference video signal (input signal) for Genlock synchronization, you can use an analog blackburst or tri-level signal.

Reference Video S ignal Input (Genlock S ynchronization)
When a reference sync signal (analog blackburst or tri-level signal) is input through the G-LOCK/SYNC terminal,
the phases of the camcorder’s V and H sync will automatically be synchronized to it. The phase difference
between the external Genlock signal and the camcorder is initially set to 0. The H phase can be adjusted within
the range of approximately ±0.4 H.
