4-1-3 Synchronizing the Internal
Time Code Generator With an
External Signal—External Lock
You can synchronize the internal time code generator to an
external time code signal (TC) input to this unit. Use this
method to synchronize the time code generators of a
number of recorders, or to carry out recording maintaining
the synchronization between the source video and time
code.
In this case, the settings of extended menu items 627
“RUN MODE” and 628 “DF MODE” are ignored.
You can synchronize the internal time code generator to
one of the following external time codes.
• The time code (TC) output of an external time code
generator or external recorder connected to the TIME
CODE IN connector of this unit
• The time code (VITC) present in a video signal input to
this unit
• The time code (TC) input to the SDI IN connector or
S400 (i.LINK) connector of this unit
To synchronize to an external time code
signal
Do as follows.
