GENLOCK IN connector (BNC type)
• This connector inputs an HD reference signal when the
camera is to be genlocked or when the time code is to be
synchronized with external equipment.
• When the time code is to be synchronized with external
equipment, this connector can input an NTSC/PAL
analog composite signal as the reference video signal.
• This connector also inputs a return video signal. You can
display the image of the return video signal on the
viewfinder screen when you set RETURN VIDEO to
ON on the GENLOCK page of the MAINTENANCE
menu.
You can assign the RETURN VIDEO function to the
ASSIGN 1 switch.
For details, see “5-3-5 Assigning Functions to Assignable
