    Externally Locking the Time Code
    The time code generator built into your AG-HPX370P/AG-
    HPX371E may be locked to an external generator. It is also 
    possible to lock an external time code generator to the 
    internal generator.
    Connections for externally locking the 
    time code (examples)
    As illustrated, both the reference video signals and the time 
    code must be input.
    Example 1:   Locking the time code to 
    external signals
    Referencetimecode
    Referencevideo
    signal TCIN
    GENLOCKIN
      NOTE
    •   In addition to an HD Y reference signal, a composite video 
    signal can also be input as reference signal.
    •   Input composite video signals when the system mode is 480i 
    (576i) (SD) and 720P.
    •   During HD-Y signal input in 720P system mode, GENLOCK 
    input for the video signal is applied but the time code is 
    delayed by 1 field.
    •   If the reference GENLOCK input signal becomes irregular 
    and recording cannot be normally performed, “TEMPORARY 
    PAUSE IRREGULAR FRM SIG” blinks in red in the viewfinder 
    and on the LCD screen and the current clip is divided. The 
    continuity of the time code cannot be guaranteed. Recording 
    resumes when the signal returns to normal. Recording 
    will not resume if interval, one-shot or loop recording is in 
    progress.
     Example 2:   Connecting two or more AG-
    HPX370P/AG-HPX371Es with 
    one another, with one being 
    used as the reference device.

     NOTE
    •   Set the menu option TC VIDEO SYNCHRO to TC IN in the 
    OUTPUT SEL screen and the menu option GL PHASE to 
    COMPOSITE in the OTHER FUNCTIONS screen on both units.
    •   Setting TC VIDEO SYNCHRO in the OUTPUT SEL screen to TC 
    IN will supply the time code via TC IN to the next slave device 
    without delay.
    •   
    The subcarrier in the VBS signal of the VIDEO OUT connector 
    of the camera cannot be externally locked.
    To externally lock the time code
    Follow the steps below.
    1 TurnonthePOWERswitch.
    2Positionthe TCGswitchat[F-RUN].
    3SettheCOUNTERbuttonto TC.

    •  Now the built-in time code generator is locked to the 
    reference time code.
    •   When locked to an external time code generator, the 
    time code is at all times locked to the external time code, 
    which is displayed as a highlighted value on the counter 
    indicator. Do not engage the recording mode during the 
    few seconds it takes for the sync generator to stabilize. 
    •   Once a slave relationship is established, the TC IN and 
    GENLOCK IN connectors stay in slave status.*  
    Note that the following events release slave status.
    • When TC PRESET is performed
    •  When the REC SIGNAL option in the SYSTEM SETUP 
    screen is set to 1394.
    • The power is turned off
    • The time code mode is switched
    • The TCG switch is set to R-RUN
    •  When REC FORMAT and CAMERA MODE have been 
    switched
    *   The slave function locks the time code to the TC IN 
    input and the device will use this time code even if time 
    code input should subsequently cease.
    Setting the user bits when the time code 
    is externally locked
    To externally lock user bits, set the setting menu UB MODE 
    (RECORDING SETUP screen) to EXT.
    Regardless of an F-RUN or R-RUN setting of the TCG 
    switch, the time code is slaved to user bit values input to 
    the TC IN connector. 
    For details, refer to [Setting Time Data] (page 64) and 
    [Setting user bits] (page 67).
    To unlock the externally locked time code
    Discontinue external time code supply, then position the 
    TCG switch at [R-RUN].
    Cautions in switching the power source 
    from battery to external power supply
    Connect the DC IN socket with the external power supply 
    before removing the battery, in order to keep the time code 
    generator energized. If the battery is removed first, there is 
    no guarantee that the time code will stay externally locked.
    External synchronisation of the camera 
    when the time code is externally locked
    When the time code is externally locked, the reference 
    video signals input through the GENLOCK IN connector 
    gen-lock the camera.
      NOTE
    •   To lock other devices externally to the AG-HPX370P/AG-
    HPX371E, as the master device, make sure that the other 
    devices are in the same camera mode as the AG-HPX370P/
    AG-HPX371E. Note that if some of the connected devices 
    use interlaced scanning while other devices use progressive 
    scanning, there may be breaks in the video and time code.
    •  When 24P, 24PA or 24PN (native) is selected and the time 
    code is externally locked, be sure to select a non-drop 
    frame time code. The time code cannot be externally locked 
    when drop frame mode is selected. When the time code 
    is externally locked, the video may be distorted, but this 
    is because of adjustment to 5-frame segments and not a 
    malfunction.
    Outputting the time code externally
    To output time code from the camera’s TC OUT connector 
    to a VTR or other recording device in sync with camera 
    picture or playback picture, set the setting menu TC VIDEO 
    SYNCRO (OUTPUT SEL) to VIDEO OUT.
    Set the menu option GL SELECT to SDI or COMPOSITE 
    as required by supplied video output in the OTHER 
    FUNCTIONS screen and the menu option TC OUT to TCG/
    TCR in the OUTPUT SEL screen.

    OUT delay.

    Counter Setting and Display
    Pressing the COUNTER button to view the counter displays the counter value\
     on the time code indicator in the LCD and in 
    the viewfinder. The counter value is indicated in “Hour : Minute : Second” format. The counter value is not displayed during 
    playback.
    The menu option REC COUNTER in the DISPLAY SETUP screen can be set to display two types of counters.
    TOTAL:    provides a continuous count until reset by pressing the COUNTER RESET button. The counter value is retained 
    when P2 cards are replaced and when the power is turned off.
    CLIP:     The counter is reset to 0 at the start of each recording and allows you to keep track of clip recording time while 
    shooting the current clip.
     NOTE
    •  Pressing the RESET button when the counter value is displayed resets the counter to 0.
    •  The counter value indicates values in the range between 0:00:00 and 9:59:59 in 1-second steps.
