# Supplying the time code externally

You can supply the output time codes to an external recording device from the camera by matching the camera images or the replayed images.

## Connection example for supplying to external device

#### When locking external devices to the camera

<SDI OUT1>/<SDI OUT2>/<SDI OUT3>/<SDI OUT4> terminal

VIDEO IN terminal

SDI IN terminal

HD SDI IN terminal

VTR, etc.

TC IN terminal

<TC IN/OUT> terminal

#### When two cameras are connected and one is used as a reference camera

When using two cameras in which one is used as a reference camera to slave the time code, make the connection as follows.

Reference camera

Slave camera

<TC IN/OUT> terminal

<TC IN/OUT> terminal

<GENLOCK IN> terminal

<SDI OUT1> terminal

NOTE

- Sets the <TC IN/OUT> terminal to output or input in [MENU] → [REC SETTINGS] → [TC] → [TC IN/OUT SEL].

- By setting [MENU] → [REC SETTINGS] → [TC] → [TC OUT REF] to [RECORDING] on both cameras, the two cameras will be able to record with the same time code on the video at the same time.

## Operating procedure

From [MENU] → [REC SETTINGS] → [TC] → [TC IN/OUT SEL], set [TC OUT].

- To match the time code output from the <TC IN/OUT> terminal to the SDI output and monitor output image, set [MENU] → [REC SETTINGS] → [TC] → [TC OUT REF] to [SDI OUT].

- To output TCR during playback, set [MENU] → [REC SETTINGS] → [TC] → [TC OUT] to [TCG/TCR].

  These settings are not required, if the internal device uses LTC or VITC output multiplexed to the SDI output.
