To synchronize the time codes of two
SR-R1 units
As an alternative to connecting a time code
generator to the TC IN connectors of two SR-R1
units to perform synchronization, you can have
the first SR-R1 unit operate as a time code
generator and synchronize the second SR-R1
unit.
1
Synchronize the two cameras units
using Genlock In.
For details, refer to the operation manual for
the camera.
2
Connect the TC OUT connector of the
first SR-R1 unit to the TC IN connector
of the second SR-R1 unit using a BNC
cable.
3
Set the two units to the same format.
4
On the first SR-R1 unit, configure the
following items in the TC Setup menu.
• TCG MODE: PRST [Preset]
• RUN MODE: F RUN [Free Run]
5
On the second SR-R1 unit, configure
the following item in the TC Setup
menu.
• TCG MODE: RGN [Regene]
Note
