Synchronizing with an External Device
Reference Video Signal Output
After changing the GENLOCK/SYNC OUT terminal’s function to [SYNC Output], you can output the camcorder’s
video signal as a reference sync signal (HD tri-level signal) to synchronize an external device to this camcorder.
The reference video signal output will have the same frequency as the signal output from the 3G/HD-SDI
terminal.
1 Open the [GENLOCK/SYNC OUT] submenu.
[¢ Video Setup] > [GENLOCK/SYNC OUT]
2 Select [SYNC Output] and then press SET.
• If necessary, change the scan mode (P or PsF) with the [¢ Video
Setup] > [SYNC Scan Mode] setting.
• If necessary to synchronize with older XF camcorders, you can
change the reference output signal with the [¤ TC/UB Setup] >
[Time Code] > [XF Legacy Sync] setting.

You can select P or PsF output with the [¢ Video Setup] > [SYNC Scan Mode] setting.
Time Code Signal Output
The time code will be output from the TIME CODE terminal as an SMPTE-standard LTC timing signal. The user
bit will also be output. Before connecting the device, set [¤ TC/UB Setup] > [Time Code] > [TC In/Out] to
[Out] to change the TIME CODE terminal to output (A 94).
The embedded time code will be output also from the 3G/HD-SDI terminal and the MON. terminal. Additionally,
you can set [¢ Video setup] > [HDMI Time Code] to [On], to output the embedded time code also from the
HDMI OUT terminal.
NOTES
• The camcorder will output a time code that has the same frequency as that used for recording.
• The user bit of the time code signal is output while the camcorder is recording MXF clips in mode or
during playback of MXF clips in mode.
