This camera recorder comes with a [TC IN] terminal.
Connect a time code signal generator to the [TC IN] terminal to synchronize with the SMPTE/EBU LTC time code.
Synchronizing the Time Code with an External Time Code Generator
TOPMemo
After synchronization (slave lock), the internal time code generator continues to run even if there is no input from the external time code generator.
Connection
Setting up the external time code generator as a master device
Input the external synchronizing signal to the external time code generator and the [GENLOCK] terminal of this camera recorder.
Memo
BB signals or HDTV tri-level synchronizing signals are used as the external synchronizing signal.
If the power of the camera recorder is turned on/off during input of external synchronizing signals, the screen may appear disrupted for a few seconds. This is not a malfunction.
Input the SMPTE/EBU LTC time code from the external time code generator to the [TC IN] terminal of this camera recorder.
Connecting multiple devices, with one as the master unit and the others as slave units
Connect the [TC OUT] terminal of the master device with the [TC IN] terminal of the slave device.
Connect the [VIDEO OUT] terminal of the master device with the [GENLOCK] terminal of the slave device.
Settings and Operation of the Camera Recorder
Set to Camera mode.
Set [A/V Set] 
[Video Set] [Genlock Input] to “BNC”.
[Video Set] [Genlock Input] to “BNC”.
Set the [TC GENE.] switch to “FREE”.
Set LCD monitor or viewfinder to Display 1 screen.
Set the external time code generator or the master device, and run the time code.
When the built-in time code generator is synchronized with the external time code data input, the 
icon on Display 1 screen lights up.
When time code is not synchronized or time code input is not available, the icon goes out.
Memo
The built-in time code generator will continue operation even when the master device is disconnected after synchronization.
User’s bit will become data in the master device.
While the [TC] terminal is connected, the time code may be out of synchronization when the [A/V Set] [Video Set] [HDMI/SDI Out] setting of the Master device and Slave device is being changed.
