– 104 –Chapter 4 Shooting — Setting the time dataf It is the same when shooting in modes other than 30P when in 30PN and shooting in modes other than 25P when in 25PN.Externally locking the time codeThe internal time code generator of the camera can be locked to an external generator. In addition, the time code generator of an external device can belocked to the internal time code generator of the camera.Example of connections for external lockingAs shown in the figure, connect both the reference video signal and the reference time code.For details on reference signal and generator lock, refer to “Selection of external reference signal and generator lock setting” (page 96).r When locking onto an external signalReference time code terminal terminalReference video signal@@ NOTEt To input or genlock input external time code, set the switch to and select [FREE RUN] in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] →[TCG].t You can input Y reference signals of HD and composite video signals as reference videos signals.t When the system mode is 480i (576i) (SD), 1080P, and 720P, input the composite video signal.t When the system mode is 1080/23.98PsF, input the HD-Y signal.t When the system mode is 1080P and 720P, if you input the HD-Y signal, genlock will be applied to the image signal, but the time code may be shiftedby one field.t If the genlock input reference signal becomes disrupted, a normal recording cannot be performed and [TEMPORARY PAUSE IRREGULAR FRM SIG]flashes on the viewfinder and LCD monitor, then clips are divided. The synchronization with the time code is not also guaranteed. Recording will beresumed when the signal returns to normal. However, interval recording, one-shot recording, and loop recording are not resumed.r When two cameras are connected and one is used as a reference camera terminalReference camera Slave camera terminal terminal terminal@@ NOTEt Set the terminal to output or input with the switch.t For all devices, set [RECORDING] in the main menu → [OUTPUT SEL] → [TC OUTPUT REF] and set [COMPOSITE] in the main menu → [OTHERFUNCTIONS] → [GL PHASE].t If you set [RECORDING] in the main menu → [OUTPUT SEL] → [TC OUTPUT REF], the two cameras will be able to record with the same time codein the image.t You cannot externally lock the composite signal subcarrier output from the terminal of the camera.t When the system mode is 1080/23.98PsF, the following usage is unavailable: connecting two cameras and use one as a reference camera, using thecomposite signal output from the terminal.
