TC/UB screen

The time code and user’s bit settings are performed on this screen.

	Item	Variable	VF		Remarks
		range	display
TC MODE		DF	USER	For setting the time code
		NDF	ENG	to the DF or NDF mode.
				DF	: The time code is set
					to the drop frame
					mode.
				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).
UB MODE		USER	USER	For setting what is to be
		DATE	ENG	written as the user’s bit in
		TIME		the LTC area.
		EXT		USER	: User setting (fixed).
		TCG		DATE	: Real time value for
					year/month/day/
					hours.
				TIME	: Real time value for
					hours/minutes/
					seconds.
				EXT	: The UBG value is
					slave-locked when
					a TC signal is
					supplied from an
					external source.
					(The user setting is
					used when no
					external input is
					supplied.)
				TCG	: Time code
					generator value
				<Note>
				Set the time on the
				TIME/DATE menu screen
				when using the UB MODE
				item with real-time
				operation.

The underlining in the variable range column indicates the setting in the preset mode.

				operations are performed.
				ON	:	The TCG setting is

						and is not
						regenerated.
				OFF	:	The TCG setting is
						not stored when the
						power is turned off,
						but is regenerated.
FIRST REC TC	REGEN		USER	For setting the TC REGEN
		PRESET	ENG	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.
<Note>
When USER is set for the UB MODE item, it is not possible to set
EXT for the VITC UB MODE item.
Similarly, it is not possible to set EXT for the UB MODE item when
USER has been set for the VITC UB MODE item.

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-co	de 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 a	ctive
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 info	rmation 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 are	a).
