Synchronizing Internal and External Time Codes
The internal time code generator can be synchronized with an external time code (LTC) input to this unit.
To synchronize the internal time code to external time code
Input an external time code (LTC) signal to the TIME CODE IN connector, then set the TC MODE menu item (see page 66) to EXT REGEN.
The internal time code generator locks onto the external time code and starts advancing. Once the internal time code generator has been synchronized in this way, you can disconnect the external time code input and this unit will maintain the synchronized time code.
Note
When the selected input mode is “SDTI” or “i.LINK” (the SDTI or i.LINK indicator is lit in the INPUT display), setting the TC MODE menu item (see page 66) 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.
Once an external time code signal has been input, the internal time code advancement mode and frame count mode are automatically set as follows:
Advancement mode: FREE RUN
Frame count mode: Same as external time code (drop frame or
To confirm external synchronization
Press the STOP button to put the unit into stop mode, then press the REC button.
Look at the time counter display and check that the time code value displayed there matches the external time code value.
Rerecording the Time Code—TC
Insert Function
The TC insert function makes it possible to use the internal time code generator to rewrite time code or user bits when the time code recorded on a tape is discontinuous.
You can start recording time code from an initial value which can be set freely (see page 49).
Notes
•Use a tape which is recorded in the DVCAM format. (You cannot use the TC insert function with a tape recorded in DV format.)
•The time code recording starts from the current tape position. Cue the tape up beforehand to the required start position.
•If you use a tape on which ClipLink log data is recorded,
the ClipLink log data will be lost.
