Time Code: Frame Rate

Sets the time code frame rate. All com-

• 23.976 – used with high definition video

 

 

mon time code frame rates are available.

cameras

 

 

 

 

 

• 24 – to sync audio to film where no transfer to

 

 

 

 

 

NTSC video is expected

 

 

 

 

 

• 25 – to sync sound to PAL video

 

 

 

 

 

• 29.97 – to sync sound to NTSC video shot in

 

 

 

 

 

non-drop frame mode

 

 

 

 

 

• 29.97DF - to sync sound to NTSC video shot

 

 

 

 

 

in drop frame mode

 

 

 

 

 

• 30 – to sync sound to film where transfer to

 

 

 

 

 

NTSC video is expected

 

 

 

 

 

• 30DF – to sync sound to film for transfer to

 

 

 

 

 

NTSC video in drop-frame mode

 

 

 

 

 

43

Time Code: Mode

Sets the mode for the time code genera-

• Off – time code not active, recorded or output

 

 

tor

• Free Run – time code is initialized from

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the jam menu and then runs continuously

 

 

 

 

 

regardless of record mode

 

 

 

 

 

• Continuous Jam – time code is initialized

 

 

 

 

 

from an external source and updates itself to

 

 

 

 

 

the external source when reconnected

 

 

 

 

 

• Record Run – time code is set from the jam

 

 

 

 

 

value item in the jam menu. Time code

 

 

 

 

 

generation starts and stops with the record

 

 

 

 

 

key creating continuous time code from file

 

 

 

 

 

to file.

 

 

 

 

 

• 24 Hr Run – time code is initialized from the

 

 

 

 

 

system clock on startup and enters free run

 

 

 

 

 

mode. Time code is updated if the time of

 

 

 

 

 

day clock is adjusted.

 

 

 

 

 

44

Time Code: User Bits

Sets the time code user bits generated

• Not Used – user bits are not set or output

 

 

by the 744T.

• yy:mm:dd.tt – user bits are set to a North

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

American-style date with take counter

 

 

 

 

 

• yy:dd:mm.tt – user bits are set to a Euro-

 

 

 

 

 

pean-style date with take counter

 

 

 

 

 

• uu:uu:tt:tt – user bits are set to 4 user defin-

 

 

 

 

 

able digits with 4 take digits

 

 

 

 

 

• tt:tt:tt.tt – user bits are set to the take counter

 

 

 

 

 

for all 8 digits

 

 

 

 

 

45

Time Code: Jam Menu

Allows the user to jam or edit the internal

• Jam RX TC – jams the internal generator to

 

 

time code generator and user bits. (Also

received external code

 

 

accessible by pressing HDD and Menu

• Jam Zeros – resets the internal generator to

 

 

keys simultaneously).

 

 

zero

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Jam Value – sets the internal generator to the

 

 

 

 

 

value set in edit value

 

 

 

 

 

• Edit Value – allows to user to enter a free-

 

 

 

 

 

form number to initialize the time code

 

 

 

 

 

• Edit U-Bit – allows the user to edit allowed

 

 

 

 

 

user bit numbers
