Synchronizing the Phase of the Video Signal (Genlock)

You can supply a reference signal to the GENLOCK connector to enable genlock.

The input reference signals that can be used vary depending on the system frequency of the selected recording format.

720×486 59.94i
50P 1920×1080 50i

You can check the external sync status using [Technical] > [Genlock] > [Reference] in the camera menu.

Note

  • If the reference signal is unstable, genlock cannot be achieved.
  • The subcarrier is not synchronized.
  • When using external synchronization in a noisy environment, tri-level sync is recommended due to its strong noise immunity.
