CTL Count Setting and Display

By setting the DISPLAY switch to [CTL], CTL count is displayed on the time count indication of the LCD display window.

The CTL count is displayed in ±12 hours with non-drop- frame.

The playback order of clips recorded on a P2 card is not linear as for VTRs. It is organized according to thumbnail operations or exchanging P2 cards, and the priority of recorded clips will be altered. Therefore, different CTL counts are displayed for recording mode and playback mode, respectively.

CTL count for recording mode (recording CTL)

Recording CTL count is displayed during recording mode (REC, REC/PAUSE, STOP and REC REVIEW), and the count continues from the end point of the previous recording. Recording CTL count is retained even if the power is turned off. When the power is next turned on, the count continues from the previous value.

Notes

If the RESET button is pressed while the recording CTL count is being displayed, only the recording CTL count is reset. Note that reset is disabled during the REC REVIEW operation.

24 frames are counted in the 24PN (Native) mode.

CTL count for the playback mode (playback CTL)

During playback mode (PLAY, FF, REW, PLAY/PAUSE), playback CTL count is displayed.

Whenever the playback order of clips is altered (clips are sorted by shooting dates), previous playback CTL count is disabled. The first frame of the first clip is used as a reference value for recalculation, and the new playback CTL count is displayed.

The playback order of clips is altered when either of the following occurs:

Clips are deleted, copied or restored, or the P2 card is formatted.

The thumbnail display is switched (for more information, see [Switching the Thumbnail Display] (page 124)).

A P2 card is inserted or removed.

The reference value (value of the first frame of the first clip) is changed when either of the following occurs:

The power is turned on, the first frame becomes 0. When the playback CTL count is reset, the current playback position is set as 0, and the previous reference value becomes a negative value.

Notes

If the RESET button is pressed while the playback CTL count is being displayed, only the playback CTL count is reset.

For playback in 24PN (Native) mode, 30 frames are counted in accordance with the pull-down images. Note, however, that in the 1080-23.98PsF and 1080- 24PsF modes, 24 frames are counted.
