Externally Locking The Time Code - Panasonic AJ-PX5000G Operating Instructions Manual

Time code function during battery replacement
Even during battery replacement, the backup mechanism functions, allowing the time code generator to continue operating.
When each item of the system mode has been changed, the time code of free run may shift. Turn on the power again, check the time code, and reset it,
if necessary.
@ NOTE
t When the <POWER> switch has been switched to <ON> → <OFF> → <ON>, the backup accuracy of the time code in the free run mode is
approximately ±2 frames.

Externally locking the time code

The internal time code generator of the camera can be locked to an external generator. In addition, the time code generator of an external device can be
locked to the internal time code generator of the camera.
Example of connections for external locking
As shown in the figure, connect both the reference video signal and the reference time code.
For details on reference signal and generator lock, refer to "Selection of external reference signal and generator lock setting" (page 66).
While the scan reverse is activated, delay of the image occurs internally. When the camera is connected in parallel to a device capable of recording
without a delay, the delay of time codes must be synchronized in the main menu → [REC/PB] → [TC/UB] → [TC OUTPUT REF].
r When locking onto an external signal
r When multiple cameras are connected and one is used as a reference camera
When building a system using multiple cameras, set the inputs and outputs to the same on all cameras. If different settings are set, shooting timing will
no longer match.
