Supply the time code to the TC IN connector and reference video
signals that comply with the SMPTE (DNW-7/90/90WS/9WS) or
EBU (DNW-7P/90P/90WSP/9WSP) time code standard and are in
the proper phase relationship to the GENLOCK IN connector (set
GENLOCK to ON with the FUNCTION 2/2 page).
This operation synchronizes the internal time code generator with
the external time code. After about 10 seconds, you can disconnect
the external time code without losing the synchronization. However,
the synchronization will be disrupted if you connect or disconnect
the time code during recording.
Note
When you finish the above procedure, the time code is immediately
synchronized with the external time code and the counter display will
show the value of the external time code. However, wait for a few
seconds until the sync generator stabilizes before recording.
User bits settings during time code synchronization
When the time code is synchronized, only the time data is synchronized
with the external time code value. Therefore, the user bits can have their
own settings for each camcorder.
You can also synchronize the user bits with external user bit data.
For more information, refer to the Maintenance Manual.
Releasing the time code synchronization
First disconnect the external time code, then set the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN
switch to R-RUN.
