Input a sync signal

Camera (Slave)

[GENLOCK IN] terminal

BNC cable (commercially available)

Sync signal generator (Master)

External device (Slave)

1Connect the sync signal generator and camera with a BNC cable.

2Set [Genlock Input] to [ON].

[MENU/SET] [] [] [Genlock] [Genlock Input] [ON]

3Output a sync signal with the sync signal generator.

When connecting a BNC cable to the [GENLOCK IN] terminal, use one that is less than 2.8 m (9.1 feet).

It is recommended to use a double shielded BNC cable equivalent to 5C-FB.

Compatible reference signal

The compatible reference signal differs depending on the following camera settings.

[MENU/SET] [] [] [HDMI / SDI Connections] [SDI Output]

[MENU/SET] [] [] [SDI Rec Output] [SDI Output Resolution]

(The items that can be set differs depending on the recording frame rate of the [Rec Quality]. (Set the resolution during recording when output via SDI))

[System Frequency]: [59.94Hz (NTSC)]

Camera setting | Compatible sync signal
BBS | Tri-level sync
[SDI Output] | OFF | 480/59.94i | 1080/59.94i
[SDI Output Resolution] ([SDI Output]: [ON]) | 1080p*1
1080i
1080PsF
720p | 720/59.94p

[System Frequency]: [50.00Hz (PAL)]

Camera setting | Compatible sync signal
BBS | Tri-level sync
[SDI Output] | OFF | 576/50.00i | 1080/50.00i
[SDI Output Resolution] ([SDI Output]: [ON]) | 1080p*2
1080i
1080PsF
720p | 720/50.00p

*1When the recording frame rate is set to 29.97p of [Rec Quality], there is no compatible tri-level sync signal.

*2When the recording frame rate is set to 25.00p of [Rec Quality], there is no compatible tri-level sync signal.

Even when a sync signal is detected, the icon will not be displayed on the recording screen.

Input a sync signal before starting to record. (The syncing cannot be started when the sync signal is input while recording.)

The [Genlock] does not work when the recording frame rate is set to a [Rec Quality] of 23.98 or 24.00.
