COUNTER SEL button

MARK

Open the door on the lower part of the front panel, and press the COUNTER SEL button.

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.

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 button on the front panel is lit, the COUNTER SEL 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 on the menu control panel. 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 TIME CODE IN connector, the internal time code generator can be locked to (synchronized with) an external time code.
