Synchronizing the Camcorder’s Time Code
You can synchronize this camcorder’s time code to an external time code generator. Also you can
include in the recording the user bit signal received from the TC IN terminal ( 58). The camcorder
offers the following synchronization options.
Genlock
The V phase and H phase of the camcorder’s time code generator will be synchronized to the external signal
being received from the GEN.LOCK terminal.
Time Code IN
An external SMPTE-standard LTC timing signal received from the TC IN terminal will be recorded as the time
code on the tape. The user bit of the external timing signal can also be recorded on tape.
Time Code OUT
The camcorder’s internal time code is sent out from the TC OUT terminal as a standard LTC timing signal.
Select whether to send out the camcorder’s time code signal with the [T.CODE OUT] option in the [SIGNAL
SETUP] submenu. When you set [T.CODE OUT] to [ON], “TC OUT” will appear on the side panel display.
* The time code sent out will be the time code as recorded on the tape.
