Power Saving Mechanisms

STANDBY Button

Pressing the STANDBY button for more than 1 second in record pause or VCR STOP mode activates the power save mode (The message ENTERING POWER STANDBY will be displayed). This shuts the power down to the camera and VCR sections while maintaining the camera settings. The camcorder retains the exposure lock and color bars settings. Press the STANDBY button again to turn the camcorder back on.

You can synchronize this camcorders time code to an external time code generator. Also you can include in the recording the user bit signal received from the TC IN terminal ( 62). The camcorder offers the following synchronization options.

Genlock

The V phase and H phase of the camcorders time code generator will be synchronized to the external signal being received from the GEN.LOCK terminal.

Time Code IN

An external SMPTE-standard LTC timing signal received from the TC IN terminal will be recorded as the time code on the tape. The user bit of the external timing signal can also be recorded on tape.

Time Code OUT

The camcorders internal time code is sent out from the TC OUT terminal as a standard LTC timing signal. Select whether to send out the camcorders time code signal with the [T.CODE OUT] option in the [SIGNAL SETUP] submenu. When you set [T.CODE OUT] to [ON], TC OUT will appear on the side panel display. * Genlock Time Code/User bit IN Time Code OUT
* In SD mode, Time Code IN is not available if you select the 24F frame rate (the mode will be canceled and the TC IN display on the side panel will disappear). ** The time code sent out will be the time code as recorded on the tape.

Selecting the Synchronization Method

EXT. SYNCOFF

Open the menu and select [SIGNAL SETUP]. Select [EXT. SYNC], select a setting option and close the menu.
If you select the [GENLOCK+TC] synchronization method, the [FRAME SETTNG] and [COUNTUP] settings of the camcorder will be ignored and the external time codes drop-frame bit will be used instead (if the external time code is non-drop frame, NDF will appear on the side panel display). Once the Genlock and Time Code IN synchronization stabilizes (after approx. 10 seconds), the external time code lock will be retained even if you disconnect the cable from the TC IN terminal. However, the external time code lock will be lost if you turn the camcorder off, set the camcorder to mode or change the position of the FRAME RATE switch. If during [GENLOCK+TC] synchronization the Genlock input signal is not appropriate or there is no Genlock input signal, the external time code being recorded on tape may be incorrect. When recording in SD mode, Time Code IN is not available if you select the 24F frame rate (the mode will be canceled and the TC IN display on the side panel will disappear). Genlock synchronization is not possible when the signal standard of the camcorder (HD/SD) is different from that of the external Genlock signal. The phase difference between the external Genlock signal and the camcorder is initially set to 0; it can be adjusted within the range of approx. 0.4 H (-1023 to +1023) with the [GENLCK ADJUST] option in the [SIGNAL SETUP] submenu. [GENLOCK] will not be available if the MODE SELECT switch is set to HD and the [SDI SPEC.] option is set to [SD LOCKED]. When you select [GENLOCK] or [GENLOCK+TC], GENLOCK will flash on the side panel display. It will keep flashing even when an external Genlock signal is being received. The GENLOCK display will stop flashing and stay on when the phase synchronization stabilizes. When you select [GENLOCK+TC], TC IN will appear on the side panel display. When TC IN appears on the side panel: While an external time code is being received, EXT LOCK will appear on the side panel display.
