Setting the user’s bit

Time code/user’s bit playback

1 Set the VTR to the STOP mode.

2 Set TC or UB using the COUNTER button.

TC : The time code is displayed.

UB : The user’s bit is displayed.

O When the time code can no longer be read, it is interpolated using the CTL signal.

3 Press the PLAY button.

Playback is started, and the time code appears on the display.

If “ON” has been selected as the setup menu item No.005 setting, the time code value is superimposed onto the video signals which are output from the VIDEO OUT2 connector.

<Notes>

O When the drop frame time code is read, the colon between the seconds and frames changes to a period.

O If the time code signal is missing, it is automatically compensated for by the CTL signal.
