Time code when the battery is replaced

The backup function works even when the battery is replaced, and the time code generator continues to operate for a prolonged duration (approx. 1 year).

<Note>

If the POWER switch is turned on, then off, and then on again, the free-run time code backup accuracy is approximately ±2 frames.

4-5-4 Externally locking the time code

The unit’s internal time code generator can be locked to an external generator. In addition, the time code generator of an external VTR can be locked to the unit’s internal generator.

Example of connections for external locking

As the figure shows, connect both the reference video signal and reference time code.

Operating procedure for external locking

Follow the steps below for external locking.

1 Set the POWER switch to ON.

2 Set the TCG switch to F-RUN.

3 Set the DISPLAY switch to TC.

4 Supply the reference time code and reference video signal, which are in a phase relationship that satisfies the time code standard, to the TC IN connector and GENLOCK IN connector respectively.

The built-in time code generator is now locked to the reference time code.

About 10 seconds after locking, the external lock status will be retained even if the connection of the externally supplied reference time code is disconnected. However, the servo lock will be subject to disturbances if it is connected or disconnected during recording.

<Notes>

O When the external lock operation is performed, the time code is instantly locked to the external time code, and the same value as the external code value appears on the counter display. Do not set the unit to the recording mode during the few seconds it takes for the sync generator to stabilize.

O The images may be disrupted during the instant when external locking is performed. This happens because the 5-frame period is adjusted, and it does not mean that the unit is malfunctioning.

O When 1394 is selected as the REC SIGNAL menu item setting, the unit cannot be gen-locked with the time code which is input to the TC IN connector.
