TC MODE [> TC mode]: Determine the time code to use:

 

*INT PRESET [>> PRESET]: Use internal time code with a

 

internal time code using a preset initial value, regenerated

 

preset initial value.

 

internal time code (locked to time code read from tape), or

 

INT REGEN [>> REGEN]: Use internal time code locked to

 

external time code.

 

time code read from tape.

 

 

 

 

EXT REGEN [>> EXT]: Use external time code selected as

 

 

 

 

follows.

 

 

 

 

• When TC is selected

 

 

 

 

 

External time code input to the TC IN connector

 

 

 

 

• When VITC is selected

 

 

 

 

 

The VITC time code present in the input video signal

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note

 

 

 

 

 

When the selected input mode is SDTI or i.LINK (the V:SDTI,

 

 

 

 

SDTI, or i.LINK indicator is lit in the INPUT signal display

 

 

 

 

section), setting this item to EXT REGEN causes the internal

 

 

 

 

time code generator to automatically synchronize with the

 

 

 

 

external time code input to the unit via the SDTI or i.LINK

 

 

 

 

interface.

 

 

 

 

 

RUN MODE [> RUN mode]: Select the advancement (RUN)

 

*FREE RUN [>> FREE RUN]: Time code generator keeps

 

mode of the time code generator.

 

running.

 

 

 

 

REC RUN [>> REC RUN]: Time code generator only runs

 

 

 

 

while recording.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note

 

 

 

 

 

Set to FREE RUN when carrying out editing with an editing

 

 

 

 

control unit. With the REC RUN setting, editing will not be

 

 

 

 

carried out correctly.

 

 

 

 

 

(For DSR-1500 only)

 

*ON (DF) [>> ON (DF)]: Drop frame mode

 

DF MODE [> DF mode]: Select whether the time code

 

OFF (NDF) [>> OFF (NDF)]: Non-drop frame mode

 

generator and time counter operate in drop frame mode or

 

 

 

 

non-drop frame mode.

 

 

 

 

Normally select drop frame mode to keep in

 

 

 

 

synchronization with real time. The non-drop frame mode

 

 

 

 

is useful for example when using computer graphics, and

 

 

 

 

working on a frame count basis.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TC SELECT [> TC select]: Determine which to display in the

 

VITC [>> VITC]: Display VITC.

 

time counter display, TC or VITC.

 

*TC [>> TC]: Display TC.

 

 

 

 

 

VITC [> VITC]: Determine whether to record the internally

 

OFF [>> OFF]: Do not record the internally generated time

 

generated time code as VITC.

 

code as VITC. (VITC present in the input video signal is

 

 

 

 

recorded unchanged.)

 

 

 

 

*ON [>> ON]: Record the internally generated time code as

 

 

 

 

VITC.

 

 

 

 

 

TCG REGEN [> TCG regen]: Select the signal to be

 

*TC & UB [>> TC & UB]: Both the time code and user bits are

 

regenerated when the time code generator is in the

 

regenerated.

 

regeneration mode (i.e., when the TC MODE menu item is

 

TC [>> TC]: Only the time code is regenerated.

 

set to INT REGEN or EXT REGEN).

 

UB [>> UB]: Only the user bits are regenerated.

 

 

 

 

 

UB BINARY GP. [> Binary Gp.]: Select the user bit binary

 

*000: NOT SPECIFIED [>> 000]: Character set not specified

 

group flag of the time code generator.

 

001: ISO CHARACTER [>> 001]: 8-bit characters conforming

 

 

 

 

to ISO 646 and ISO 2022

 

Note

 

 

010: UNASSIGNED-1 [>> 010]: Undefined

 

When the TC MODE menu item is set to EXT REGEN, the

 

011: UNASSIGNED-2 [>> 011]: Undefined

 

 

100: UNASSIGNED-3 [>> 100]: Undefined

 

user-bit binary group flag setting follows the setting on the time

 

 

code input to this unit.

 

101: PAGE/LINE [>> 101]: Multiplex

 

 

110: UNASSIGNED-4 [>> 110]: Undefined

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

111: UNASSIGNED-5 [>> 111]: Undefined
