Panasonic AJ-D910WBP Using the user data, Setting Time Data, User data operation

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.
