Synchronizing with an External Device88Synchronizing with an External DeviceUsing genlock synchronization, you can synchronize this camcorder’s video signal to that of an external videodevice. Similarly, using an external time code signal, you can synchronize this camcorder’s time code to theexternal signal. Using the external time code signal with multiple cameras allows you to set up a multi-camerarecording. You can also output the time code signal from this camcorder to achieve the same result. If yououtput the time code from the HD/SD SDI terminal to an editing device, the editor can create video with thesame time code.Connecting an External DeviceWhen synchronizing the camcorder to an external signal, input a reference video signal* through the GENLOCKterminal or output the camcorder’s signal as a reference signal for an external device through the SYNC OUTterminal.When synchronizing a time code signal, use the TIME CODE terminal. Be sure to set the TIME CODE terminal toinput or output in advance.Connect the external device to the camcorder as shown in the following diagram.* For the reference video signal, you can use an analog blackburst or tri-level signal.Connection DiagramReference Video Signal Input (Genlock Synchronization)When a reference sync signal (analog blackburst or tri-level signal) is input through the GENLOCK terminal, thephases of the camcorder’s V and H sync will automatically be synchronized to it. The phase difference betweenthe external Genlock signal and the camcorder is initially set to 0. The H phase can be adjusted within the rangeof approximately ±0.4 H (HD equivalent).1 Open the [Genlock Adjust.] submenu.[w Other Functions] > [Genlock Adjust.]2 Adjust the phase to the desired level, select [Set] and then pressSET.• Use the joystick (Ý) or SELECT dial to select the value for each fieldand press SET to move to the next field.Operating modes:SYNC OUT terminalTIME CODE terminalGENLOCKsynchronizationTime codesynchronizationGENLOCK terminal[w Other Functions][Genlock Adjust.]COPY
