Synchronizing the timecode of your
camcorder with that of another unit
Set the unit that supplies the timecode to a mode
in which the timecode output keeps advancing
(Free Run or Clock mode).
1
Set “Timecode” of the TC/UB SET
menu as follows:
Mode: Preset
Run: Free Run
2
Press the DURATION/TC/U-BIT
button
so that the timecode is
displayed on the screen.
3
Confirm that the IN/OUT switch
is set to IN, then supply an HD or SD
reference video signal to the
GENLOCK IN connector and the
reference timecode to the TC IN
connector.
The built-in timecode generator of your
camcorder locks to the reference timecode, and
the message “EXT-LK” is displayed on the
screen.
About 10 seconds after locking, even if the
reference timecode from the external device is
disconnected, the external lock will be kept.
Notes
• Check that the reference timecode and the reference
video signal are in a phase relation that complies the
SMPTE timecode standards.
• When you finish the above procedure, the timecode is
immediately synchronized with the external timecode,
and the time data indication will show the value of the
external timecode. However, wait for a few seconds
