Recording Time Code in Continuation of the Recorded Time Code on SDHC card

This camera recorder is equipped with the time code reader.

[TC GENE.] Setting Switch

1 Set [Main Menu] B [TC/UB] B [TCG Source] to AInternalB. (A Page 88)

2 Set the [TC GENE.] switch on the inner panel of the LCD to AREGENB.

When the camera recorder enters from recording standby mode to recording mode, it reads the time code already recorded on the SDHC card and records the new time code in continuation of that value.

The same data as the user’s bit already recorded on the SDHC card is recorded.

Memo :

●When the [TC GENE.] switch is set to AREGENB, the framing mode of the time code follows the settings in [Drop] of the [TC/UB] menu instead of the clip settings. (A Page 88)

Synchronizing Time Code with External Time Code Generator

This camera recorder comes with a time code input terminal ([TC IN]).

An external time code generator can be connected to the [TC IN] terminal to enable synchronization with the SMPTE/ EBU LTC time code.

Memo :

●After synchronization (slave lock) is complete, the built-in time code generator continues to run even when there is no input from the external time code generator.
