Synchronizing the Time Codes
You can synchronize the internal time code generator
of the unit with an external time code signal (LTC).
Connecting to the Time Code
Generator
To synchronize the internal time code to
an external time code
1 Set the INPUT SELECT selector to other than DV.
2 Input an external time code (LTC) signal to the TC
IN connector of the unit.
3 Set TC/UB IN on the TC/UB SET menu to
TC&UB EXT or TC EXT.
4 Set TC RUN on the TC/UB SET menu to FREE
RUN.
The internal time code generator locks onto the
external time code and starts advancing. Once the
internal time code generator has become
synchronized in this way, you can disconnect the
external time code input and this unit will maintain
the time code.
Notes
• This unit has a DV jack. The time code input/output
with a DV connection is different from that with
other analog connections.
For details, see “DSR-45/45P time codes” on page 63
(GB).
• The time code output from this unit has some
restrictions.
For details, see “Notes on the Time Codes” on page 64
(GB).
To confirm external synchronization
Before you start recording, check that the internal time
code is synchronized with the external time code.
Press the STOP button to turn the unit to the stop
mode, then press the REC button.
Look at the time counter display and check that the
time code value displayed there matches the external
time code value.
