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) by following the
procedure below.
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 the joystick 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 the joystick.
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.
