1 Cassette memory indicator
This item is shown when a cassette with cassette
memory has been loaded. If the cassette is ejected
while data is being written on the cassette memory, the
indicator flashes.
2 Tape transport mode indicator
Displays the tape transport mode.
3 Time counter (time code/user bits/count value of
the counter) indicator
Displays the count value of the counter, time code, or
user bits. By setting the COUNTER SELECT selector
on the front panel, you can select the item to be
displayed.
When the time code is displayed,
TC
appears to its left.
In the drop frame mode, a period is displayed between
the minutes and seconds. (Example: 00:12.58:00)
When the user bits are displayed,
UB
appears to their
left.
When the count value of the counter is negative, “–”
appears as the first digit (leftmost digit). When that
value is positive, the first digit is blank.
The count value of the counter consists of seven digits.
If the self-diagnostic function is enabled, diagnostics
code numbers are displayed.
Notes
•The counter operates on a ±12-hour cycle. You
cannot make the counter operate on a 24-hour cycle.
•The count value of the counter consists of seven
digits. The leftmost digit is not displayed. (i.e.; If the
actual count value is “11:22:11:22,” the displayed
value will be “1:22:11:22.” ) However, the unit
recognizes that the hours value is 11.
4 Remaining tape time indicator
Displays the remaining tape time.
Note
When you insert a cassette in which the tape has been
rewound to the beginning, this indicator will not show
the remaining tape time. The remaining tape time is
displayed after the tape runs for a while.
5 Search indicator
Displays the search mode when you search for scenes
using the Remote Commander or the DSRM-20 (not
supplied).
For details on the search function, see “Searching using the
