DSR-500 manual and Gen Lock

Ollie,

The manual is available on line. Page 66 discusses Gen Lock (used for syncing time code between cameras).

http://www.sony.ca/dvcam/manuals/DSR-500WSL-500WSPL.pdf

Here's a Wikipedia entry on the general concept.

Genlock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If there's anything that you still find murky after reading the manual I might be able to help. I have the John Fauer book with a chapter on the DSR-500, but I haven't had my hands on one in years.

Carl
