Also, this button is used to change menu settings.
For details on the VTR menu, see Chapter 6 “Menu”.
2 DISPLAY switch
Switches time value indication shown in the display
window.
COUNTER: Shows the tape transport time in
HH:MM:SS (hours, minutes, and seconds).
TC: Shows the time code value.
U-BIT: Shows the user bit data in the time code.
For information about the display window, see “1 Display
window” in “Display Section” on page 11.
3 ADVANCE button
When setting time code and user bit values, or at menu
setting, press this button to increment the digit that has
been selected with the SHIFT button 4. In other case,
keep pressing this button to show the clip remaining
indication instead of time value. (Example: CLIP
D45)
For time code and user bit settings, see pages 50 and 51.
On how to use the ADVANCE button for menu settings, see
Chapter 6 “Menu”.
4 SHIFT button
When setting time code and user bit values, or at menu
setting, keep pressing this button to select a digit. The
selected digit will start blinking.
In other case, keep pressing this button to show the
date (when the DISPLAY switch 2 is set to U-BIT)
and time (when the DISPLAY switch 2 is set to TC)
instead of time value.
For time code and user bit settings, see pages 50 and 51.
On how to use the ADVANCE button for menu settings, see
Chapter 6 “Menu”.
5 TC (time code) mode switch 2
Sets the mode for advancing time code values when
the TC mode switch 1 6 has been set to PRESET.
F-RUN: The time code advances continuously
whether or not the DSR-1/1P is recording. Use this
setting to align the time code value with real time.
SET: Use this setting to set the time code or user bit
value.
R-RUN: The time code value advances only during
recording. Use this setting to have consecutive time
code values for consecutive recordings on the tape.
Note for the DSR-1
There are two time code frame modes: drop-frame
(DF) mode and non drop-frame (NDF) mode. This
product is shipped with drop-frame mode selected.
For details on switching between drop-frame mode and non
drop-frame mode, see “Selecting Drop-frame (DF)/Non-
drop frame (NDF) mode (for DSR-1) —Menu 204” on page
63.
For details on drop-frame mode and non drop-frame mode,
see “Drop-frame mode (for DSR-1 Only)” on page 52.
6 TC (time code) mode switch 1
Selects between resetting the time code value or
continuing from the time code value at the end of the
previous recording.
PRESET: This starts recording time code values on
the tape from the currently set value.
REGEN: This reads the tape’s current time code value
and sets the time code to record starting from that
value. This ensures that the tape’s time code will be
continuous, even if there is a break in recording.
The time code value is advanced in R-RUN mode
regardless of the setting on TC mode switch 2 5.
DATE/TIME: This synchronizes the time code to the
real time clock set in the VTR menu (see page 63).
In this case the time code of the DSR-1 is recorded
in DF (drop-frame mode).
Note
If the ClipLink function is set to on (meaning ClipLink
shooting is allowed) in menu 211 and CONT is
displayed in the display window, regardless of the
setting of this switch, the time code generator
automatically enters the REGEN mode at recording.
(The ClipLink function is factory-set to on.)
When you will not perform ClipLink shooting, set the
ClipLink function to oFF (see page 67).
