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 VCRs, or to carry out recording
maintaining the synchronization between the source video and time code.
In this case, the settings of the FREE RUN/REC RUN switch and DF/NDF
switch on the subsidiary control panel 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
VCR connected to the TIME CODE IN connector
• The time code (VITC) present in a video signal input to the unit
• The time code (TC) input to the SDTI(QSDI) INPUT connector or
i.LINK connector (when fitted with the optional DSBK-190) of the unit
To synchronize to an external time code signal
