Synchronizing the timecode of multiple cameras using a smartphone
(Continued)
• The timecode advance may become
non-contiguous at the instant the
timecode is synchronized. If this
occurs, the timecode output on SDI
OUT and HDMI OUT will also be
non-contiguous.
• Timecode synchronization is not
performed if a camera is currently
recording, in order to maintain a
contiguous timecode.
• For lengthy continuous recording,
periodic timecode synchronization
cannot be performed, which may lead
to an offset of several frames per hour.
• When a camera is turned off, Wireless
TC LINK also stops. When the camera
is turned on again, Wireless TC LINK
is automatically executed.

To exit Wireless TC LINK, press

contiguously when Wireless TC LINK
is stopped. To synchronize the
timecode once only at the start, stop
Wireless TC LINK before use after
synchronizing the timecode.

you can execute Wireless TC LINK
again by performing only step 9 again
