Connecting a Number of Camcorders

When using two or more synchronized camcorders,
connect an external sync signal to the GEN LOCK IN
connector, supplying a VBS or BS signal. The
camcorder will then operate synchronized to this
signal.

Notes
• This is no power supply connection between the
camcorder and VCR. Provide separate power
supplies.
• The VTR connector always outputs the signals from
the camera (impossible to output the playback video
of the internal VCR), and disallows the CCU
connection.
