Synchronizing The Camcorder's Time Code - Canon 3249B001 Instruction Manual

Synchronizing the Camcorder's Time Code

You can synchronize this camcorder's time code to an external time code generator. You can also
include in the recording the user bit signal received from the TC-IN terminal (
offers the following synchronization options.
Genlock
When a reference sync signal (analog blackburst or tri-level signal) is input through the GENLOCK terminal,
the V and H phases of the camcorder's time code will automatically be synchronized to it.
Time Code IN
An external SMPTE-standard LTC timing signal received from the TC-IN terminal will be recorded as the time
code on the tape. The user bit of the external timing signal can also be recorded on tape.
Time Code OUT
The camcorder's internal time code is sent out from the TC-OUT terminal as a standard LTC timing signal.

Connection Diagram
* As a reference video signal input you can use either an HD Y signal or a PAL composite video signal.
While a time code signal is being received, the [COUNT-UP] setting of the camcorder will be
ignored and the external time code's drop-frame bit will be used instead.
The Genlock synchronization stabilizes after approx. 10 seconds. After that, the synchronization
will be maintained even if you disconnect the cable from the GENLOCK terminal.
