44Synchronizing the Camcorder’s Time CodeYou can synchronize this camcorder’s time code to an external time code generator. You can alsoinclude in the recording the user bit signal received from the TIME CODE terminal ( 46). Thecamcorder offers the following synchronization options.GenlockWhen a reference sync signal (analog blackburst or tri-level signal) is input through the GENLOCK terminal,the V and H phases of the camcorder’s time code will automatically be synchronized to it.Time Code INSet the TIME CODE switch to IN to start the Time Code IN mode. An external SMPTE-standard LTC timingsignal received from the TIME CODE terminal will be recorded as the time code on the tape. The user bit ofthe external timing signal can also be recorded on tape.Time Code OUTSet the TIME CODE switch to OUT to start the Time Code OUT mode. The camcorder’s internal time code issent out from the TIME CODE terminal as a standard LTC timing signal.When [SIGNAL SETUP] [SDI OUTPUT] is set to [ON(OSD)] or [ON], the time code signal will be output alsothrough the HD/SD SDI terminal.Connection DiagramWhen synchronizing the camcorder to an external signal, input a reference video signal through theGENLOCK terminal or a time code signal through the TIME CODE terminal. To input a time code signalthrough the TIME CODE terminal, set the TIME CODE switch to IN. To output a time code signal, set theswitch to OUT.* As a reference video signal input you can use either an HD Y signal or a PAL composite video signal when recording inHD.Genlock – –Time Code/User bit IN – – –Time Code OUT – –Reference videosignal*SMPTE-standardLTC timing signalGENLOCKTIME CODE switchTIME CODE
