510 | This is used to switch the phase of the | |
| time code, which is output from the | |
TC OUT REF | TIME CODE OUT connector, for the | |
| external LTC input when the TCG | |
| switch is at the EXT position. | |
| 0000 | V OUT : |
| Time code is synchronized with output | |
| video signal. | |
| 0001 TC_IN : | |
| Time code is synchronized with | |
| external time code input. | |
|
| |
511 | This selects how the VITC which is to | |
VITC OUT | be superimposed onto the output | |
video signal is to be output. | ||
| 0000 | SBC : |
| During recording: | |
|
| The input time code, which was |
|
| selected by the setup menu No. 505 |
|
| (EXT TC SEL) setting and TCG |
|
| switch, is output as the VITC. |
| During playback: | |
|
| The time code recorded in the SBC |
|
| area is output as the VITC. |
| 0001 | VAUX : |
| During recording: | |
|
| The time code detected from the |
|
| input video signal is output as the |
|
| VITC. |
| During playback: | |
|
| The time code recorded in the |
|
| VAUX area is output as the VITC. |
| Notes: | |
| • The time code detected from the input | |
| video signal is automatically recorded in | |
| the VAUX area while pictures are being | |
| recorded. | |
| • If Y PB PR, CMPST, | |
| selected as the input signal, the VITC | |
| output during recording is a timecode | |
| superimposed on the input signal | |
| regardless of the above setting. | |
|
| |
513 | This sets the operation mode which is | |
| to make the internal time code | |
RUN MODE | generator advance. | |
| 0000 | REC : |
| The internal time code generator is | |
| advanced during recording. | |
| 0001 | FREE : |
| When the power is on, the internal | |
| time code generator is advanced | |
| regardless of the operation mode. | |

| 0000 | OFF : |
| The internal time code generator value | |
| is not recorded in the VAUX area. | |
| When video signals on which the time | |
| code has been recorded are input, the | |
| time code of the input signals is | |
| recorded in the VAUX area. | |

SBC (sub code data) area:
This area is separate from the video and audio data area on the helical track. The time code complying with SMPTE/EBU standards is stored here. As with the conventional LTC (linear time code), the time code can be read even during rewinding or fast forwarding. It can also be read out when the tape has stopped.
VAUX (video auxiliary data) area:
This area is to be found in the video data area on the helical track.
The additional information relating to the video data is stored here.
Note:
The time code and user bit are controlled during tape playback by the data which has been recorded in the SBC area. This means that all the data recorded in the SBC area alone is used as the data which is to be indicated on the counter display section in the middle of the front panel or in the superimposed display, or as the data which is to be transmitted to the editing controller or other unit.
