TIME CODE

Displaying the time code

This unit records or plays back the time code and user’s bit. Whether to record the user’s bit can be selected with U-BIT in the TC/UB/CLOCK [2/2] Menu screen (only for E model). With the time code function, accurate positions of the tape contents can be specified to enhance editing precision and operation efficiency. During recording or playback, the time code and user’s bit are displayed on the monitor or the Counter display.
