Setting the Time Data

This locks the built-in time code generator to the reference time code. After about 10 seconds have passed since the time code generator was locked, the external lock status is maintained even if the external reference time code is disconnected. However, if the reference time code is disconnected during recording (REC), the servo lock will be thrown out of order.

Note{

When the external locking operation is performed, the time code is locked instantly to the external time code and the same value as the external code value appears in the counter display position. Do not set the VTR to recording mode for several seconds until the sync generator has stabilized.

Setting Time Data

User bit setting during external locking

When the time code is locked to an external source, only the time data is locked to the time data of the time code from the external source. Accordingly, the user bit can be set independently for each unit. The user bit can also be locked to the user bit of the time code from the external source. ÁConsult your dealer for a detailed explanation.

Releasing the external lock

Stop supplying the external time code and then set the F-RUN/R-RUN switch to R-RUN.

Switching the power supply from the battery to an external power supply during external locking

In order to maintain power supply continuity for the time code generator, connect the external power supply to the DC IN connector before unplugging the battery pack. If the battery pack is unplugged first, the external locking continuity of the time code cannot be assured.

Synchronizing the camera section to an outside source during external locking

During external locking, the camera section is genlocked by the reference video signal which is supplied to the GENLOCK IN/(VIDEO IN) connector.

Using the user data

The setting menu contents can be saved in the user area of the camera’s memory so that they can be loaded as and when required. This data enables the suitable setup statuses to be re-estab- lished without delay.

User data operation

A menu is used to save the data settings in the user area of the camera’s memory or to load them.

Saving the user data

1The menu’s INITIALIZE screen is used to save the user data.

2Set the MENU SET/OFF switch to the SET position while the SHIFT/ITEM button and UP button are held down together.

3Press the PAGE button to display the MAIN menu screen 4 of 4.

4Press the SHIFT/ITEM button to move the cursor to the “INITIALIZE” position.

5Press the UP or DOWN button to open the INITIALIZE page.

When the SHIFT/ITEM is pressed to align the arrow with WRITE USER DATA and the UP or DOWN button is pressed, the data settings will be saved in the user area of the camera’s memory.

6After the settings have been saved, set the MENU SET/OFF switch to the OFF position.

Loading the user data

1The menu’s CARD READ/WRITE screen is used to set the unit to the status in which the data settings were saved in the user area of the camera’s memory.

2Set the MENU SET/OFF switch to the SET position while the SHIFT/ITEM button and UP button are held down together.

3Press the PAGE button to display the MAIN menu screen 3 of 4.

4Press the SHIFT/ITEM button to move the cursor to the “CARD READ/WRITE” position.
