TIME CODES (TC) and USER BITS (UB)

Time code generator (TCG) and user bit generator (UBG) mode setting

The set-up menu is used to make time code generator (TCG) and user bit generator (UBG) settings.

For details on using the set-up menu, please refer to the TIME CODE setting (see pages 30 and 31) item numbers 503, 507, and 510. Also, the OPERATION MODE switch (see CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS on page 8), which is one of the switches on the front keyboard, is used to make settings.

Setting the mode of the time code generator (TCG) and user bit generator (UBG)

!Set the VTR to the stop mode. @ Switch to the set-up menu.

# Set item No. 503 (TGN REGEN), item No. 507 (TC MODE), and item No. 510 (REGEN MODE) to match the desired mode. Use the OPERATION MODE switch to make selections.

(Refer to the TCG and UBG Mode Table on the following page for more information on setting items.)

$ For the TCG mode, select either drop frame (DF) mode or non-drop frame (NDF) mode under item No. 506 (DF MODE). % To use TCG CF (color framing) flags, set item No. 505 (TCG CF FLAG) to ON (0001).

^ To use TCG special bit flags, set item No. 504 (BINARY GP).

<Note>

The settings for item No. 505 (TCG CF FLAG), item No. 504 (BINARY GP), and item No. 506 (DF MODE) are valid only if the P- REC mode or P- FREE mode (which are listed in the TCG and UBG Mode Table on the following page) have been selected, or during first edit operation.

Presetting the time code generator (TCG) and user bit generator (UBG) values

!Set the VTR to the stop mode. @ Switch to the set-up menu.

# Set item No. 508 (TC PRESET) and item No. 509 (UB PRESET) to the desired values.

<Note>

If the P-REC mode or P-FREE mode (which are listed in the TCG and UBG Mode Table on the following page) have been selected, settings can be made for item No. 508 (TC PRESET) and item No. 509 (UB PRESET).

<Note>

If the unit is controlled via the external REMOTE terminal (9-pin) in order to perform editing, editing may take place in the MAN- UAL EDIT mode rather than the AUTO EDIT mode, depending on the controller being used. Therefore, item No. 507 (TC MODE) should be set to P-FREE (0001).
