COUNTER SELECT button

Time counter display

Press the COUNTER SELECT button on the front panel. Each press of this button cycles through three options: CNT value, time code, and user bit data. The time data type indicator for each option lights as it is selected.

Time data	Time data shown in the time counter
type	display
indicator
COUNTER	CNT (count value of the time counter)
TC	Time code (when recording, the time code is
	generated by the internal time code
	generator; when playing back, the time code
	is read from the tape.)
U-BIT	User bit data (when recording, the user bit
	data is according to the most recent settings;
	when playing back, the user bit data is read
	from the tape.)

Note

When the REMOTE indicator in the front panel display section is lit, the COUNTER SELECT button does not operate while the tape is moving. In such cases, use the external equipment connected to the REMOTE connector on the rear panel to select the time data.

To reset the CNT value

Press the RESET (NO) button in the menu control section. This resets the CNT value to 0:00:00:00.

Note

During playback, if the recording on the tape includes discontinuities, the counter may operate incorrectly at the corresponding points.

Using the Internal Time Code Generator

You can set the initial time code value before recording the time code generated by the internal time code generator onto a tape. In addition, you can use the user bits to record such data as the date, time, scene number, reel number, or other useful information.

When an external time code generator is connected to the TC IN connector, the internal time code generator can be locked to (synchronized with) an external time code.

1 Press the COUNTER SELECT button to light the time data type indicator “TC” or “U-BIT.”

TC: To set the initial time code value

U-BIT:To set user bit data

The current time code value or user bit data is shown in the time counter display.
