Connecting a Number of Camcorders
When using two or more synchronized camcorders,
connect an external sync signal to the GEN LOCK IN
connector, supplying a VBS or BS signal. The
camcorder will then operate synchronized to this
signal.
You can adjust the synchronization using the basic
menu. (See page 79.)
Notes
This is no power supply connection between the
camcorder and VCR. Provide separate power
supplies.
The VTR connector always outputs the signals from
the camera (impossible to output the playback video
of the internal VCR), and disallows the CCU
connection.
