Concerning the time code and user’s bit

Setting the external time code

1 Set the VTR to the stop mode.

2 Set F3 TC/CTL on the <HOME> menu to TC.

3 If the video input has been set to HD SDI input or INT SG, set F1 TC SRC on the <TC> menu to EXT-L, SLTC or SVITC.

4 If the video input has been set to SD SDI (when the optional board has been installed), set F1 TC SRC on the <TC> menu to EXT-L or VITC.

Cue time registration, preroll and cue-up

(These functions work only on the HOME, PF1 and PF2 screens.)

Registration

Register the cue time by pressing the SET button while holding down the F button.

Presetting

When the T button is pressed, the characters of the cue time or TC/UB display are highlighted. Turn the ADJ dial to highlight the characters of the cue time.

The subsequent steps in the registration procedure are the same as for TCG.

Prerolling

Press the PREROLL button to preroll the tape to the currently registered CUE point.

Cue-up

Press the PREROLL button while holding down the F button to cue the tape up to the currently registered CUE point.

Time code and user’s bit playback

1 Set the VTR to the stop mode.

2 Set F3 TC/CTL on the <HOME> menu to TC or UB.

TC:

The time code is displayed.

UB:

The user’s bit is displayed.

In the event that it has become impossible to read the time code, it is interpolated using the CTL signal.

3 Press the PLAY button. Playback starts, and the time code appears on the display.

If F1 (SUPER) on the <TC SHIFT> menu is set to

ON, the time code value is superimposed onto the video signals from the VIDEO OUT3 connector.

<Notes>

While a drop frame time code is being read, the colon between the seconds and frames is replaced with a period.

If the time code signal is missing, it is interpolated automatically using the CTL signal.

The following appears on the display.
