Set [Genlock Input
] to “BNC”. A B
Set [A/V Set] B [Video Set] B [Genlock Input] to
“BNC”.

Set to “Adapter” to input synchronizing signal
from the accessory connection terminal (68
pins) on the rear of this unit.
3
When in the standby or stop mode, input
synchronizing signals from the SYNC
signal generator to the
[
GENLOCK]
terminal.

When the
camera recorder’s video is locking
to the external synchronizing signal, “Sync
Locking” appears on the screen.
0
After locking to the external synchronizing
signal is complete, the display disappears
and recording can be performed.
0
If there is genlock signal input but the signal
format is not supported, “Invalid Sync” is
displayed.
Memo :
0
If the frame rate of [WFrame & Bit Rate]/
[YFrame & Bit Rate] in the [Record Format]
menu is set to “60p
”, “60i”, “30p”, or “24p”,
59.94 Hz synchronizing signals (vertical
synchronization) are input.
50 Hz/60 Hz synchronizing signals are not
synchronized.
0
If the frame rate of [WFrame & Bit Rate]/
[YFrame & Bit Rate] in the [Record Format]
menu is set to “50p
”, “50i”, or “25p”, 50 Hz
synchronizing signals (vertical synchronization)
are input.
59.94 Hz/60 Hz synchronizing signals are not
synchronized.

Do not
connect or disconnect the input cable for
the synchronizing signals during recording or
playback
0
If the power is turned on during input of external
synchronizing signals, vertical oscillation may
occur. This is not a malfunction.
0
Signals such as VTR playback signals with
jitters may not be synchronized on this camera
recorder.
0
Only H (Horizontal) and V (Vertical) genlock
functions are
available on this camera recorder.
It does not come with a lock function for SC (sub-
carrier). Color flash may occur during switching
such as when composite signals are used by a
switcher.
o Phase Items to Synchronize
The phase items to be synchronized may vary
depending on the input synchronizing signal and
output video signal.
