Locking the Internal Time Code
Generator to the Reference Time
Code
Perform the following steps to synchronize the DSR-1/
1P’s internal time code generator to an external time
code.
1 Set the TC mode switch 1 to PRESET.
2 Set the TC mode switch 2 to F-RUN.
3 Connect a reference time code and video signal to
the DSR-1/1P.
For connections, see the previous section “Connection
for Gen-Lock”.
“EXT-LK” will be displayed in the display
window. The internal time code generator will
maintain its externally synchronized state even
after you disconnect the reference time code signal.
The precision of this synchronization (phase
alignment) of time codes depends on the precision
of the camera’s sync signal generator.
Notes
• After setting up external synchronization, allow a few
seconds for the camera’s sync signal generator to
stabilize before recording.
• Only the time code can be externally synchronized.
User bits cannot be externally synchronized.
• If you switch the setting on the DSR-1/1P’s or the
camera’s POWER switch while the camcorder is
operating under external synchronization,
synchronization precision will be reduced.
