During playback:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The time code recorded in the SBC area is output as the

During playback:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The time code recorded in the VAUX area is output as the

<Note>

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When video signals are recorded, the time code detected from

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the input video signals is automatically recorded in the VAUX

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The underline on the setting item denotes the initial setting.

SBC (Sub Code Data) area

This area exists independently from the video and audio data areas on the helical track, and it contains the time code which complies with the SMPTE/EBU standard. As with the conventional LTC (Longitudinal Time Code), the time code can be read even during rewinding and fast forwarding or when the tape has stopped.

VAUX (Video Auxiliary Data) area

This area exists inside the video data area on the helical track, and it contains additional information on the video data.

<Note>

Control over the time code or user bit during tape playback is exercised using the data recorded in the SBC area. In other words, it is exercised over all the data which has been recorded in the SBC area including the data shown on the counter display in the center of the front panel and on the superimposed displays as well as the communication data for a component such as the editing controller.
