How to synch up time code between two sony hvr-z5u cameras
I want to shoot with two sony hvr z5 cameras of a event. I know they support timecode. Read somewhere, to synch them up during postprocessing one should be made master and the other slave. To do this, should I need any external equipment or software? Is there any camera setting in its menu? The user’s manual didn’t explain. Should anything be done before the event recording or can it be done later in pr pro? A detailed step by step instructions appreciated.

I don’t use the timecode to sync but the sound in Premiere.
Mark in f.e. soundtrack 1 the start of a a certain notable sound (f.e. the first tone of a trumpet). Do the same in soundtrack 2 and put the marks above each other. Put the mark by moving frame by frame untill the start of the notable sound.
My marks are keyframes in the sound track.
This works very well if both camera’s keep rolling during the whole event.Good luck
