Notes
•This unit has a DV jack. The time code input or
output is different when you connect the unit to an
external device via this DV jack or via another input/
output connector.
For details, see “DSR-45/45P time codes” on page 63
(GB).
•The time code output from this unit has some
restrictions.
For details, see “Notes on the Time Codes” on page 64
(GB).
To select the time code to be recorded
when DV signals are recorded in DVCAM
format
Set DV IN TC on the TC/UB SET menu to select
whether to record the internal time code or an external
one.
INTERNAL: Records the time code internally
generated.
EXTERNAL: Records the time code with video and
audio signals input via the DV jack.
Notes
•When this item is set to EXTERNAL, the setting of
TC/UB IN on the TC/UB SET menu turns to invalid.
The time code input via the DV jack and the user bits
set in UB PRESET are recorded.
•When you set REC MODE on the VTR SET menu to
DV SP, this item cannot be used. Even if this item is
set to EXTERNAL, when you set REC MODE on the
VTR SET menu to DV SP, the setting becomes
invalid and the unit records the internal time code.
