Setting the Time Code and User Bits
Dubbing/Editing 3 Chapter
This unit can set, display, record and play back the time code and user bits.
Notes
• When the HDV formatted signals are recorded from the HDV/DV jack on this unit, a user bit is copied. However, this bit cannot be preset (the user bit is displayed as “– – – – – – – – ”). The time code is set in accordance with the [TC MAKE] setting. You cannot copy the time code of a source tape.
• When images recorded in the DVCAM/DV format are input from the HDV/DV jack, you can preset a user bit time code on this unit. However, you cannot copy the user bit and time code of a source tape.
•For a tape recorded both in HDV and DVCAM/DV formats, the time code may become garbled at a connecting portion between scenes on the tape.
•If you play back an HDV tape without signals recorded, the time cord may become disordered.
•The time code cannot be reset on this unit from a remote controller equipped with a counter reset function.
Using the Internal Time Code
Generator
You can set the initial time code value generated by the internal time code generator. In addition, you can set the user bits to record data such as the date, time, scene number, reel number, or other useful information. The time data settings are set by using the menu.
For details on the menu, see “Chapter 4 Adjusting and Setting Through Menus” on page 45.
