Setting the Time Code
Setting the Time Code
The camcorder can generate a time code signal and embed it in your recordings. You can have the camcorder
output the time code signal from the HD/SD SDI terminal (b only) or GENLOCK/TC terminal
(b only; 0 73). In addition, you can superimpose the time code on video output from the HDMI OUT
terminal, HD/SD COMPONENT OUT terminal or AV terminal.
b To synchronize the camcorder’s time code to an external time code generator, refer to Synchronizing
with an External Device (0 72).
