PAGE 68
AJ-HPX2700G-VQT1V27_eng.book 68 ページ２００８年９月２日火曜日午後５時４３分 As a result of processing to convert the video captured by the imaging devices from a progressive signal to an interlace signal, video signal delays will occur in the camera. Since time is required for making the 2:3 pull-down from the 24P frame, there is a video signal delay in the camera. When recording from a device that can record images without a delay and the unit is connected in parallel, it is necessary to synchronize the time code.
