Synchronizing with an External Device
Reference Video Signal Output
You can output the camcorder’s video signal as a reference sync signal (analog blackburst or tri-level signal)
through the SYNC OUT terminal to synchronize an external device to this camcorder.
1 Open the [SYNC Output] submenu.
[¢ Video Setup] > [SYNC Output]
2 Select [HD Sync] (tri-level signal) or [Blk Burst]* (black burst) and
then press SET.
* Not available for 24.00P recordings.
Time Code Signal Output
The time code will be output from the TIME CODE terminal as an SMPTE-standard LTC timing signal. The user
bit will also be output. Before connecting the device, set [¤ TC/UB Setup] > [Time Code] > [TC In/Out] to
[Out] to change the TIME CODE terminal to output (A 78). If you set the [¢ Video Setup] > [SDI Output]
setting to [HD] or [SD], the embedded time code will be output from the HD/SD SDI terminal.
NOTES
The user bit of the time code signal is output while the camcorder is recording in mode or during
playback of a clip in mode. When [w Other Functions] > [24.00P] is set to [On] or [w Other
Functions] > [Frame Rate] is set to [23.98P] and the [¤ TC/UB Setup] > [User Bit] > [Output Mode]
setting is set to [Pulldown], the user bit will be 2:3 pulldown data. In other words, when a 23.98P or 24.00P
recording is output from the HD/SD SDI terminal, the signal is converted to 59.94i / 59.94P or 60.00i / 60.00P
using the 2:3 pulldown method. An external device can receive the data used in this conversion (2:3 pulldown
data) to convert the signal to the original 1080/23.98P or 1080/24.00P specifications.
