Synchronizing with an External Device

Using Genlock synchronization, you can synchronize this camera’s video signal to that of an external video

device. Similarly, using an external time code signal, you can synchronize this camera’s time code to the external

signal. Using the external time code signal with multiple cameras allows you to set up a multi-camera recording.

You can also output the time code signal from this camera to achieve the same result. If you output the time

code from the SDI OUT terminals or MON. terminals to an editing device, the editor can create video with the

same time code.

Connecting an External Device

When synchronizing the camera using a reference video signal*, use the GENLOCK/SYNC OUT terminal. When

synchronizing a time code signal, use the TIME CODE terminal. Be sure to set either terminal to input or output

in advance.

Connect the external device to the camera as shown in the following diagram.

* As reference video signal (input signal) for Genlock synchronization, you can use an analog blackburst or tri-level HD signal. The

reference video output signal will be a tri-level HD signal.
