VIDEO IN
Selects the input video signal.
SDI:
HD SDI signal
SG:
Test signal generated by the internal test
signal generator (To select SG, hold the
corresponding function button pressed for
more than three seconds.)
OUT REF
Selects the reference signal of this unit,
according to the settings of setup menu items
309 and 334, and the operating state of this
unit.
REF:
Use the signal input to the REF INPUT
connector as the reference signal. During
recording, input digital audio signals and
video signals must be synchronized with
this signal.
INPUT:
Use the input video signal as the
reference signal.
SYNC
Sets the HD output signal sync phase.
With the displayed setting flashing by
pressing the SYNC function button, you can
turn the MULTI CONTROL knob to adjust the
output signal sync phase across the range
±15 µs relative to this unit’s input reference
signal.
Adjust this item when you want to adjust the
output signal sync phase precisely to match a
reference signal, or when connecting this unit
and other VTRs to a device such as a
switcher to carry out operations such as
special effects editing.
SC
Sets the HD output signal sync phase (fine
adjustment).
With the displayed setting flashing by
pressing the SC function button, turn the
MULTI CONTROL knob to adjust the output
