5-6 Setting the Time Data

Synchronizing the time code

Turn on the POWER switch.

Set the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to PRESET.

Set the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to F-RUN.

Set the DISPLAY switch to TC.

Supply a time code signal and a reference video signal 
complying with the SMPTE (for PDW-510/530) or 
EBU (for PDW-510P/530P) standard and in proper 
phase relationship, to the TC IN connector and to the 
GENLOCK IN connector, respectively.

This operation synchronizes the internal time code 
generator with the external time code. After about 10 
seconds, you can disconnect the external time code 
without losing the synchronization. However, there 
will be noise on the recorded image if you connect or 
disconnect the time code signal during recording.

• When you finish the above procedure, the internal time 

code is immediately synchronized with the external time 
code and the counter display will show the value of the 
external time code. However, wait for a few seconds 
until the sync generator stabilizes before recording.

• If the frequency of the reference video signal is not the 

same as the frame frequency of the camcorder, the 
camera cannot be correctly genlocked. In such a case, the 
internal time code is not correctly synchronized with the 
external time code.

• When the GENLOCK ON/OFF item is set to “OFF” on 

the GENLOCK page of the MAINTENANCE menu, the 

time code cannot be synchronized with the reference 
video signal. In this case, set the GENLOCK item to 
“ON” on the GENLOCK page of the MAINTENANCE 
menu.

• When the scan mode is 24P (with the CBK-FC01 

expansion board installed), genlock is not established 
even if you connect an external reference time code 
during recording.

User bit settings during time code 
synchronization
When the time code is synchronized, only the time data is 
synchronized with the external time code value. Therefore, 
the user bits can have their own settings for each 
camcorder. 
You can also synchronize the user bits with external user 
bit data.

To release the time code synchronization
First disconnect the external time code, then set the F-
RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to R-RUN.

To change the power supply from the battery 
pack to an external power supply during time 
code synchronization
To maintain a continuous power supply, connect the 
external power supply to the DC IN connector before 
removing the battery pack. You may lose time code 
synchronization if you remove the battery pack first.

Camera synchronization during time code 
synchronization
During time code synchronization, the camera is 
genlocked to the reference video signal input from the 
GENLOCK IN connector.
