The underline on the setting item denotes the initial setting.
This is used to switch the phase of the time code, which is
output from the TIME CODE OUT connector, for the external
LTC input when the TC INT/EXT switch is at the EXT position.
(In EE mode only)
0: Time code is synchronized with output video signal.
1: Time code is synchronized with external time code input.
This selects how the VITC which is to be superimposed onto
the output video signal is to be output.
0: During recording:The input time code, which was selected
by the setup menu No. 505 (EXT TC
SEL) setting and TC INT/EXT switch, is
output as the VITC.
During playback: The time code recorded in the SBC area
is output as the VITC.
1: During recording:The time code detected from the input
video signal is output as the VITC.
During playback: The time code recorded in the VAUX
area is output as the VITC.
<Note>
The time code detected from the input video signal is
automatically recorded in the VAUX area while pictures are
being recorded.
SBC (sub code data) area:
This area is separate from the video and audio data area on the helical track. The time codes complying with SMPTE/EBU
standards, recording dates and times, and other tape control information are stored here. As with the conventional LTC (linear
time code), the time code can be read even during rewinding or fast forwarding. It can also be read out when the tape has
stopped.
VAUX (video auxiliary data) area:
This area is to be found in the video data area on the helical track. The additional information relating to the video data is stored
here.
