Notes
• Even when EXT is selected for REC VIDEO SOURCE,
if the external video signal is not input to the GENLOCK
IN connector, the camcorder does not change to EXT
mode, and the pictures being shot by the camcorder are
recorded on the tape.
• Even if GENLOCK ON/OFF is set to OFF on the
GENLOCK page of the MAINTENANCE menu, the
camcorder is automatically synchronized with the
external reference video signal when the external video
signal is input to the GENLOCK IN connector in EXT
mode. When the setting is switched to CAM mode, or
when no signals are input to the GENLOCK IN
connector even in EXT mode, the camcorder is reset to
the original setting.
Selecting the delay mode of the vertical
synchronizing (V sync) signal of the output
video signal
In EXT mode, the video signal output from the TEST OUT
connector or the VIDEO OUT connector is output with a
delay of 8 horizontal lines against the external input signal,
because the input signals, including the V sync signal,
undergo digital processing internally.
There will not be any problems when you see the pictures
of the output video signals on the monitor. However, if you
want to output the V sync signals that are at the same
position as the V sync signals of the external signal, use the
menu to select the appropriate V sync delay.
