The DCU>Serial Port Assign>VTR Setting menu appears.

At the top of the status area, the relevant serial port, slot number, protocol, serial port name, SCU number, and timecode source appear. In the lower part of the status area, the VTR constants appear.

4 In the <TC Source> group, select the timecode source (reference signal for determining the tape position) from the following.

LTC+ (Longitudinal Time Code): Normally LTC is used, but when the tape speed is such that LTC cannot be read (1/8 normal speed or below), or the LTC cannot be read for some other reason, this is interpolated using CTL pulses or timer counter pulses.

CTL (Control): CTL pulses or timer counter pulses are used. Use this only for a tape on which no timecode is recorded.

The displayed tape position is based on the reference signal specified here.
