PREPARATIONS FOR OPERATION
Synchronizing with the
Time Code of the IEEE1394
(DV)-Connected Master Unit
You can synchronize the time code when performing multi-camera recording. The internal time code generator will be synchro-
nized with the time code in the signal input from the IEEE1394 terminal. After synchronization (slave lock), the internal time code
generator continues to run even if the IEEE1394 cable is disconnected.

You cannot use the GY-HD200E as a slave unit.
Connections
Connect the master unit and the slave unit with an IEEE1394
cable.
Settings and Operations
• Master unit (GY-HD200U/GY-HD200E/GY-HD201E/GY-
HD250U/GY-HD251E/GY-HD100, 101 series/GY-HD110,
111 series)
1.
Set the IEEE1394 switch on the left side to [DV].
2.
Set to Camera mode.
3.
Set the recording format to DV-60I or DV50I.
4.
Set the TC GENE. switch to [FREE].
• Slave unit (GY-HD200U/GY-HD201E)
1.
Set the IEEE1394 switch on the left side to [DV].
2.
Set to VTR mode.
3.
Check that the camera image from the master unit is input.
4.
Set the TC GENE. switch to [FREE] and the TC DISPLAY
switch to [TC].
5.
Set to STOP mode or EJECT mode.
6.
Press the STOP button for 1 second.
• The DV input time code data from the IEEE1394 termi-
nal is displayed in the status display. (When status is in
magnified size, characters are displayed.)
7.
Press the USER1 button to begin slave lock.
(To skip slave lock, press the USER3 button and clear
the status display.)

8.
Check that the time code that is synchronized with the
master unit is running.
9.
Disconnect the IEEE1394 cable.
10.
The slave unit finally returns to Camera mode.
MEMO
Slave lock cannot be performed in the following
instances.
• Slave unit is in CAMERA mode
• Slave unit is in VTR mode and there is no DV signal
• The TC GENE. switch on the slave unit is not set to
FREE
• The slave unit is GY-HD200E
• HDV format
If slave lock is performed in DV format and is then
switched to HDV format, frame digit may deviate.
If power is turned off, slave lock is disabled. Perform
slave lock operation again.
Slave lock cannot be performed for UB (User's bit).
If the frame rate for the master unit and slave unit is not
synchronized, it will not run properly. Synchronize frame
rate before using.
If DROP/NON DROP is not synchronized, it will not run
properly. Synchronize DROP/NON DROP before using.
Screen Adjustment
LCD monitor direction, angle, screen brightness, etc. can be
adjusted.
Adjusting the Direction and Angle of the
LCD monitor
• With the LCD door in the open condition, rotate the LCD
door.
• It can be turned 180° in upward direction and 90° in down-
ward direction.
When turned 180° upward direction, the LCD monitor can
be viewed from the lens side (vertically inverted image).
