NOTE:
• The SYNC PB mode selection is preserved
internally when power is turned off, and
resumes when power is turned back on. To
return to the main mode from the SYNC PB
mode, turn the power off during the
“WAITING FOR CONNECTION” state, or
press the MODE button after startup in
SYNC PB mode.
• If a LINK cable is not connected, the
“WAITING FOR CONNECTION” state
occurs.
• An error occurs when a connection is
interrupted, such as by disconnecting a
LINK cable. Reconnect the cable and turn
power off and back on.

“Warning and Error Messages”
Vol. 2, page 83)
• An error occurs when the connected units
are not the same model and version.
• If you inadvertently switch to the SYNC PB
mode and activate the “WAITING FOR
CONNECTION” state, turn the power off
and back on to re-enable the (normal) main
mode.
• Power on/off operation is the same as for 3D
REC/PB mode
(
➝
“Turning Power On and
Off” page 43).
When the SYNC PB mode is enabled, all operations are performed from the master unit. The only
operation available on the slave unit is pressing the THUMBNAIL button to display the thumbnail screen.
Two clips are played back on different devices by
synchronizing the order of the clip numbers,
although the following requirements apply to
obtain correct clip synchronization.
•
About the Clip Order
Clips play back in the order they were
recorded. The clips on the P2 card must be in
pairs and the recording dates and times within
each pair must be the same. If the number of
clips or the recording dates and times do not
match, playback order on the master and slave
differs, causing incorrect playback.
•
About Clip Length
Each pair of video clips must have the same
starting point and length. If the clip lengths are
different, subsequent playback will be incorrect.
•
Clip Time Codes
Each pair of recorded clips must have the
same continuous time code. If the time codes
are different or discontinuous, playback cueing
may not operate correctly, causing incorrect
playback.
◆
NOTE:
• When a clip fails to play back correctly, a
warning is displayed, SDI is muted, and black is
output (with DISCRETE L/R setting), or only the
left image is output (with side-by-side or frame
packing settings).
• Playback of mixed-format clips is possible, but
may be discontinuous, and subsequent
playback wil be incorrect.
• Discontinuous time codes may cause an error
code to appear when cueing the start and end
of clips and during frame-by-frame playback of
clips with different start and end time codes. To
recover, press the STOP button and after
