Synchronizing with an External Device
Using Genlock synchronization, you can synchronize this camera’s video signal to that of an external
video device. When a reference sync signal (analog blackburst or tri-level HD signal) is input through
the GENLOCK terminal, the phases of the camera’s V and H sync will automatically be synchronized
to it. The phase difference between the external Genlock signal and the camera is initially set to 0. The
H phase can be adjusted within the range of approximately ±0.4 H (–1023 to 1023).
1 Open the [Genlock Adjustment] submenu.
[Other Functions] > [Genlock Adjustment]
2 Push the joystick up/down to select the value of the
first field and then press SET to move to the next field.
Change the rest of the fields in the same way to select the
desired adjustment level (–1023 to 1023).
3 Select [Set] and then press SET.
NOTES
When a suitable Genlock signal is input, the Genlock synchronization stabilizes within approximately
10 seconds.
When a suitable Genlock signal is detected, [Gen.] will flash on the upper right of the screen. When
the camera locks on the external Genlock signal, [Gen.] will stop flashing and stay on.
If the external Genlock signal is incorrect, the synchronization may not be stable.
