PREPARATIONS FOR OPERATION
Displaying Time Code
The GY-HD100 records SMPTE-standard (NTSC) or EBU-
standard (PAL) 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 viewfinde r.
• Time code data cannot be output through the unit’s con-
nectors.
The time codes or user’s bits can be shown on th e LCD mon-
itor or in the viewfinder during playback and recording as fol-
lows. (Status screen)
Setting
1.Set the TC/UB item on the LCD/VF [2/3] menu screen to
ON.
• Time codes or user’s bit data are displayed on the STA-
TUS screen.
2.Wh ether time codes or user’s bit data shou ld be displayed
is selected with the TC DISPLAY switch inside the LCD
door.

Time code input entered the IEEE1394

connector (GY-HD100U/GY-HD101E only)

Pressing the STOP button for 1 second in the EJ ECT or
stop mode displays the DV input time code data or user’s
bit data from the IEEE1394 connector on the STATUS
screen.
To return to display of the original time code or user’s bit,
press the STOP button. (Display of the normal time code
or user’s bit is also restored by performing VTR opera-
tion.)
MEMO
• To record DV input time cord and user’s bit from the
IEEE1394 connector, set the TC DUPLI. [DV] item on the
TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen to ON.
XSeepage74.
��� To maintain the continuity of time code data, use with the
TC GENE. switch set to REGEN mode when recording
DV input signal from the IEEE1394 connector.
• There is no timecode display for HDV input.
CAUTION
A time code with a duration of more than 2 hours may not be
displayed correctly by DV components for general con-
sumer use, as some of these lack the capability to display
longer time codes.
