70Adjustments and Settings for Recording: Setting Time Data 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....
