Synchronizing with an External Device
Reference Video Signal Output
After changing the GENLOCK/SYNC OUT terminal’s function to [SYNC Output], you can output the camcorder’s
video signal as a reference sync signal (HD tri-level signal) to synchronize an external device to this camcorder.
The reference video signal output will have the same frequency as the signal output from the 3G/HD-SDI
terminal.
1 Open the [GENLOCK/SYNC OUT] submenu.
[¢ Video Setup] > [GENLOCK/SYNC OUT]
2 Select [SYNC Output] and then press SET.
If necessary, change the scan mode (P or PsF) with the [¢ Video
Setup] > [SYNC Scan Mode] setting.
If necessary to synchronize with older XF camcorders, you can
change the reference output signal with the [¤ TC/UB Setup] >
[Time Code] > [XF Legacy Sync] setting.

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 94).
The embedded time code will be output also from the 3G/HD-SDI terminal and the MON. terminal. Additionally,
you can set [¢ Video setup] > [HDMI Time Code] to [On], to output the embedded time code also from the
HDMI OUT terminal.
NOTES
The camcorder will output a time code that has the same frequency as that used for recording.
The user bit of the time code signal is output while the camcorder is recording MXF clips in mode or
during playback of MXF clips in mode.
