Synchronizing with an External Device
• When the camera locks on an external time code signal, [
E
] will appear next to the time code on the control
display and at the bottom right corner of the monitoring screen.
• If the external time code signal is incorrect or there is no input signal, the internal time code set in the camera
will be recorded instead.
• While a DF time code signal is being received, the external time code’s drop-frame bit will be used.
• Performing any of the following actions while the cable is not connected will cause the synchronization to be
disrupted; the correct time code will be restored once you reconnect the cable.
- Turning the camera off or pressing the PLAY button (switching to playback mode)
- Changing the video configuration
Reference Video Signal Output
You can output the camera’s video signal as a reference sync signal (tri-level HD signal) to synchronize an
external device to this camera. The reference video signal output will have the same frequency as the signal
output from the SDI OUT terminals.
1 Open the GENLOCK/SYNC OUT terminal’s [Terminal Function] submenu.

2 Select [HD Sync Output] and then press SET.
• If necessary, change the scan mode (P or PsF) with the [SYNC Scan Mode] setting in the same submenu.
Synchronization signals
* When slow & fast motion recording is activated, the signal output will change depending on the system frequency used:
1080/59.94i (59.94 Hz), 1080/50.00i (50.00 Hz) or 1080/60.00i (24.00 Hz). When slow & fast motion recording is activated in
crop mode ([On (crop)]), the signal output will always be 1080/60.00i.
Time Code Signal Output
The time code will be output from the TIME CODE IN/OUT terminal as a SMPTE-standard LTC timing signal. The
user bit will also be output. Additionally, the time code will be output from the SDI OUT terminals and MON.
