NDF
:The time code is set
to the non-drop
frame mode.
<Note>
This unit will perform the
processing in the non-drop
frame mode when the
frame rate has been set to
24 frames/sec. (23.98 Hz).

slave-locked when
a TC signal is
supplied from an
external source.
(The user setting is
used when no
external input is
supplied.)

PRESET
USER
ENG For setting the TC REGEN
mode when recording is
started.
REGEN
:
The time code set on the
tape is regenerated.
However, when the
frame rate has been set
to 24 frames/sec. (23.98
Hz), the time code on
the tape in those parts
where the drop frame
mode was established
will not be regenerated.
PRESET
:
The time code set on the
tape is not regenerated.
However, it is forcibly
regenerated when the
unit is transferred from
the rec-pause mode to
the recording mode.
This unit automatically stores as the tape management information both the frame rate information which indicates the shooting speed and
the active frame information which indicates the first frame where the frame image was switched in the user’s bit of the sub-code track area
(this used to be the LTC area). This information is output from the TC OUT connector and HD SDI OUT connector. Further, the active
frame information is stored in the least significant digit of the user’s bit while the frame rate information is stored in its lower third and fourth
digits.
<Notes>
OWhen “DATE,” “TCG” or “USER” has been selected as the UB MODE item setting on the TC/UB screen, the tape management
information is output from the least significant digit to the lower fourth digit of the user’s bit, so no other user’s bit information will be
output.
OThe tape management information is not output as the user’s bit information in the VIDEO AUX area (this used to be the VITC area).
