Description

F1

SOURCE

INT:

Built-in time code generator.

 

For selecting

EXT LTC:

LTC time code from TIME CODE input connector.

 

internal/external time code

S LTC:

LTC time code added to serial signals; not displayed

 

signal.

 

when the SD mode is selected.

 

 

S VTC:

VTC time code added to serial signals; not

 

 

 

displayed when the SD mode is selected.

 

 

EXT VITC: VITC time code added to video signals; not

 

 

 

displayed when the HD mode is selected.

F2

TC SLAVE

≥When the F1 (SOURCE) key is at [INT], AUTO, PRESET and

 

For setting up time code

SALVE are displayed.

 

slave lock mode.

AUTO:

Generator locks at the value read out by the

 

 

 

reader. In this case there is no time code setting.

 

 

 

(Only during editing.) During normal recording,

 

 

 

however, any setting of the generator can be

 

 

 

performed.

 

 

PRESET: Generator does not lock at the value read out by

 

 

 

the reader. Generator can be set freely.

 

 

SLAVE:

The generator is locked to the reader’s readout

 

 

 

value. In this case, the time code cannot be set.

 

 

≥When the F1 (SOURCE) key is at [TEXT LTC], SALVE and

 

 

DIRECT are displayed.

 

 

SLAVE: Generator locks to external LTC time code.

 

 

 

(When there is no external input, E-TC time data

 

 

 

blinks. )

 

 

DIRECT: External LTC time code is recorded as is.

 

 

 

(When there is no external input, E-TC: ¢ ¢:¢ ¢:

 

 

 

¢ ¢:¢ ¢ are displayed.)

 

 

≥When the F1 key is at [S VITC], [S LTC] or [EXT VITC], this key

 

 

is not displayed.

 

 

In this case, the generator value typically locks to external VITC

 

 

or LTC time code.

F3

ON: User bit locks to user bit value read by reader (TCR) or to

 

User bit lock.

external user bit value, and cannot be set.

 

 

OFF: Generator does not lock to value read out by reader. User

 

 

bit value can be set freely.

 

 

 

F4

RUN MD

REC RUN: Runs the TC only while recording is in progress.

 

Time code progress.

FREE RUN: Runs the TC all the time in the same way as a

 

 

 

clock.

Valid only when the F1 (SOURCE) key selects [INT].

 

For selecting drop or

non-drop frame.

OFF: Non-drop frame mode is set.

 

 

≥When [EXT LTC], [S VITC] or [S LTC] is selected in the F1

 

 

key, the VTR conforms to drop/non-drop frame mode of

 

 

external time code.

°This is not displayed when the 1080/23psf, 1080/23p, 1080/24psf, 1080/24p, 1080/25psf, 1080/25p, 1080/50i or 576/50i system format has been selected.
