Chapter 4 Adjustments and Settings for Recording — Setting the time data

Time code at the variable frame rate (VFR)

ffIn the 24PN mode, recording is performed at 24 frames, and output is performed at 30 frames matched to 2:3 pull-down video.

ffWhen [FRAME RATE] (shooting frame rate) is set to 24P, the advance speed of the time code for recording and output matches real time and does not match real time in modes other than 24P. (Example: In the 60P mode, the advance speed for recording becomes 60/24x.)

ffIn this instance, operation is fixed to recording run, and the time code value to output at the start of recording is matched to the recording time code. ffThe same applies at other than 30P shooting in the 30PN mode.

Externally locking the time code

The internal time code generator of the camera can be locked to an external generator. In addition, the time code generator of an external device can be locked to the internal time code generator of the camera.

Example of connections for external locking

As shown in the figure, connect both the reference video signal and the reference time code.

rr When locking onto an external signal

Reference video signal

<GENLOCK IN>

Reference time code

<TC IN/OUT>

@@NOTE

ttAs a reference video signal, a composite video signal can also be input in addition to an HD Y reference signal.

ttWhen the system mode is set to 480i, 576i (SD) and 720P, input the composite video signal.

ttIf the system mode is 720P, the video signal generator lock is activated when the HD-Y signal is input, however , the time code may shift by one field.

ttWhen the generator lock input reference signal is disrupted, recording cannot be performed normally, and [TEMPORARY PAUSE IRREGULAR FRM SIG] flashes red on the viewfinder screen and the clip is divided. The continuity of the time code is not guaranteed. Recording resumes when the signal returns to normal. However, recording does not resume in interval recording, one- shot recording, and loop recording.

External lock operation procedure

To externally lock the time code, follow the steps below.

1Set the [TC IN/OUT SEL] item on the setting menu [IN/OUT SEL] screen to [TC IN].

For details, refer to “Setting menu basic operations” (page 118).

2 Set the counter display to [TC] by the <COUNTER> button.3Set the SmartUI screen to the [SET01:TC/UB] screen by the <SETUP> button.4 Set the [TC_MD] item to [F‑RUN].
5Press the <HOME> button to display the [HOME] screen of SmartUI.

A reference time code and reference video signal that are in a phase relationship (that conforms to time code specifications) are supplied to the <TC IN/OUT> and <GENLOCK IN> terminals.

ffNow the built-in time code generator is locked with the reference time code.
