Chapter 3 Recording and Playback
Example 1: Synchronizing with an external timecode
Example 2: Connecting two units, and using one as the
reference
• When making the following connections, set the frame
frequency to the same value on both units. Wait until the
reference camcorder becomes stable (a state where a
normal picture appears on the viewfinder screen or the
LCD monitor), and then connect the other camcorders.
• When the frame frequency of this unit is 23.98P, make
sure that the reference unit is either recording or in the
recording stopped state.
To synchronize the timecode
1
Set the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to PRESET.
2
Set the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to F-RUN.
3
Press the DISPLAY/EXPAND button of the LCD
monitor to display TCG on the time counter display
section.
4
Depending on the frame frequency setting of this unit,
supply the reference timecode and reference video
signal shown in the following table to the TC IN
connector
1)
and GENLOCK IN connector,
respectively. The input reference timecode and
reference video signal must meet the phase
relationship requirements of the the SMPTE timecode
standard. (Excluding the case where the frame
frequency is 23.98P.)
1) Input to the TC IN connector.
a) More precisely 59.94i
b) More precisely 29.97P
