JVC GY-DV5000 instruction manual 10-1, Presetting and Recording of Time Code

10. TIME CODE OPERATION

The GY-DV5000 records SMPTE-standard time codes and user’s bits. In the play mode or the record mode, the reproduced time codes or user’s bits are shown on the LCD monitor or in the viewfinder.

●Time code data cannot be output through the unit’s connectors.

The time codes or user’s bits can be shown on the LCD monitor or in the viewfinder during playback and recording as follows. (Status screen)

Setting

1. Set the TC/UB item on the LCD/VF (2/2) menu screen to ON.

●Time codes or user’s bit data are displayed on the Status screen.

POWER VTR

The time code and user’s bit data are preset on the TC/UB/ CLOCK menu screen.

1. Display the TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen.

1Press the Status button for 1 second or more to display

the TOP MENU screen.

2Rotate the SHUTTER dial to align the cursor () with the TC/UB/CLOCK item, and then press the SHUTTER dial.

● The TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen appears.

2. Set the time code (hours, minutes, seconds, frames).

1 Rotate the SHUTTER dial to align the cursor ( ) with TC

2. Whether time codes or user’s bit data should be displayed
is selected with the COUNTER switch inside the cover on
the side.
TC :	Time codes are displayed.
	The symbol between the seconds and the frame
	differs with the framing mode. (Colon or dot)
UB :	User’s bit data is displayed.

● The first digit of the time code blinks.

The blinking digit is the one to be set.

2When the SHUTTER dial is pressed, the blinking digit changes.

3When the SHUTTER dial is rotated, the value of the blinking digit changes.

When the SHUTTER dial is rotated upward, the value becomes higher. When rotated downward, the value becomes smaller.

10-2	Presetting and Recording of Time Code
The time codes or user’s bit data from the internal time code generator can be recorded at the time of recording scenes.
	To preset the Time Code, make the following settings.

4Repeat the procedure described in 2 and 3 above to

set the desired value for all digits.

5After setting the frame digit, press the SHUTTER dial to make EXECUTE blink. The setting values are confirmed when the SHUTTER dial is pressed again.

Set to PRESET REC or PRESET FREE.
PRST REC :	The data preset in the time code generator
	runs only during recording.
	Use this setting if it is necessary to record
	continual time codes across different scenes.
	* However, approximately ±1-frame variations
	may occur in scene accuracy.
PRST FREE :	The time code starts to run from the time it is
	preset in the time code generator.

● The user’s bit can be specified using numerals or alphabetic letters from 0 to F for each digit.

CAUTION: Do not set all the digits of the user’s bit data to “F”. Reading of the data during playback will not be possible for an all-F setting.

Drop frame/Non-drop frame mode In the NTSC system, the actual number of frames per 1 second is approximately 29.97 frames, but per time code 30 frames are processed. To compensate for this difference, the mode called “drop mode” drops frame 00 and 01 for every minute not divisible by 10. The “non-drop frame mode” is when no frames are dropped and the actual time shift is neglected.

Zero-resetting the Time Code or User’s Bit Data This is performed with the CLEAR item on the TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen. (Performed separately for the time code and the user’s bit data.)

1Rotate the SHUTTER dial to align the cursor () with the CLEAR item, and then press the SHUTTER dial.

2 Rotate the SHUTTER dial to select EXECUTE as the setting value, and then press the SHUTTER dial.
