93Synchronizing with an External Device5 Push the joystick up/down to select the first digit and press SET to move to the next.• Change the rest of the digits in the same way to adjust the H phase to the desired level (–1023 to 1023).• Press the CANCEL button to return to the previous screen without setting the Genlock adjustment value.6 Select [Set] and then press SET.NOTESNOTES• When a suitable Genlock signal is input, the Genlock synchronization stabilizes after approximately10 seconds.• When a suitable Genlock signal is detected, the U icon will flash at the top right of the screen. When thecamcorder locks on the external Genlock signal, the icon will stay on.• If the external Genlock signal is incorrect, the synchronization may not be stable. In such case, the recordedtime code may be incorrect.Time Code Signal InputAn external SMPTE-standard LTC timing signal received from the TIME CODE terminal will be recorded as thetime code. The user bit of the external timing signal can also be recorded with the clips. Before connecting thedevice, set the TIME CODE terminal to input. Also, you must set the running mode of the time code to [Free Run](A 88).1 Select [TC In/Out].> [B # System Setup] > [TC In/Out]2 Select [In] and then press SET.Recording the User Bit of an External SignalThe user bit of an external time code signal can also be recorded with clips along with the time code itself.1 Select [User Bit Recording Mode].> [B # System Setup] > [User Bit Recording Mode]2 Select [External] and then press SET.NOTESNOTES• When the frame rate is set to 23.98P, use a 24-frame time code signal as input signal. When it is set to 25.00P,50.00i or 50.00P, use a 25-frame time code signal. For other frame rates, use a 30-frame time code signal.• When a suitable time code signal is received, the camcorder’s own time code will be synchronized to it and thesynchronization will be maintained even if you disconnect the cable from the TIME CODE terminal.• If the external time code signal is incorrect or there is no input signal, the internal time code (as set with themenu settings in the [B # System Setup] menu page) will be recorded instead.• While a time code signal is being received, the external time code’s drop-frame bit will be used.• Performing any of the following actions while the cable is not connected will cause the synchronization to bedisrupted; the correct time code will be restored once you reconnect the cable.- Turning the camcorder off/on- Changing the operating mode to mode- Changing the video configurationOperating modes:
