Time code and user’s bit data generated from the internal time code generator are recorded.

This section describes how to set [TC Preset] in the [TC/UB] menu.(A P97 [ TC Preset ] ) Memo :

Drop frame/non-drop frame mode

 

0 When the frame rate setting in [Main Menu] B

 

[System] B [Record Set] B [Record Format] B

 

[Frame & Bit Rate] is “60p”, “60i”, or “30p”, the

 

actual number of frames per second is

 

approximately 59.94 (29.97). However, the time

 

code processing standard is “60p”, “60i”, or

 

“30p” frames. To make up for the frame number

 

discrepancy, the drop frame mode (Drop) drops

 

the 00 frame and 01 frame every minute except

 

for minutes that are multiples of 10. However, in

 

the case of “60p”, the 00, 01, 02 and 03 frame

 

are dropped.

Shooting

0 The non-drop frame mode (Non Drop) does not
drop frames and ignores the discrepancy with

 

the actual time.
