External lock operation procedure
To externally lock the time code, follow the steps below.
1
Set the <TCG> switch to <F-RUN>.
2
Set the <DISPLAY> switch to <TC>.
3
Set [GL IN] or [SDI IN] in the main menu
→
[I/F SETUP]
→
[GENLOCK]
→
[GENLOCK].
4
Input a reference time code and reference video signal that are in a phase relationship (that conforms to time code specifications)
to the <TC IN> and <GENLOCK IN> terminals or <SDI IN> terminal, respectively.
The built-in time code generator is locked to the reference time code. When approximately ten seconds has elapsed after locking, the external lock
status will be held even if the reference time code from the external device is disconnected.
f
When the input reference signal of genlock is disrupted, recording cannot be performed normally. [TEMPORARY PAUSE IRREGULAR SIG] is
displayed in the viewfinder screen, and the clip is divided. The continuity of the time code is not guaranteed. Recording resumes when the signal
returns to normal. However, interval recording, one-shot recording, and loop recording do not resume.
f
When the time code is externally locked, the time code is instantaneously locked to the external time code, the same value as the value of the
external time code is output to the counter display area. Do not set to the recording mode for several seconds until the sync generator has
stabilized. Furthermore, lock the time code to the <TC IN> terminal signal. The time code of the HD SDI signal input from the <SDI IN> terminal is
not locked.
f
When externally locking in 24PN mode, be sure to input non-drop frame time codes. An external lock is not possible using drop frames. When the
external lock is activated, images may look corrupted. However, this is an operation to match the 5-frame cycle so it is not a malfunction.
f
When [PRE REC] is set to [ON] in the main menu
→
[REC/PB]
→
[REC FUNCTION], disrupted images or stopped time codes may be recorded if
the time code is switched from recording run to free run immediately before recording or an external time code is input to be slaved to the <TC IN>
terminal.
