The Genesis can be genlocked in the usual way to a standard
external video signal. In addition, the Genesis camera outputs an
enhanced tri-level signal with frame rate, shutter angle and phase
information that can only be used by another Genesis camera.
If you connect the REF OUT from a master Genesis to the GEN
LOCK input of a slave Genesis, the slave camera will follow the
frame rate, shutter angle and shutter phase of the master camera.
These enhanced genlock features will not work if you connect a
standard video signal to the GEN LOCK input of the master camera.
Panavision does not recommend connecting external time code
generator devices to the GEN LOCK. Instead Panavision
recommends plugging the Time Code signal as LTC or into the Audio
CH2 of the VTR.
You must remove Lockit and similar devices when shooting variable
frame rates. See chapter 20 .
The rear VTR connector provides
power, video and communication
from the Genesis camera to the
Sony SRW-1.
