3REC (record) INHIBIT switch

When this switch is set to ON, the REC INHIBIT indicator in the display section lights, and recording on tape is no longer possible. (See the description of extended menu item 107.)

4KEY INHIBIT switch

When this switch is set to ON, the KEY INHIBIT indicator in the display section lights, and the buttons in the upper control panel and lower control panel specified by the setting of extended menu item 118 are disabled.

5PROCESS CONTROL switch

This selects the method of control of the internal digital video processor.

REMOTE: Select this position to use an optional remote control unit for remote control of the internal digital video processor.

MENU: Select this position to use the setup menu to change the settings for the internal digital video processor.

LOCAL: Select this position to use the subsidiary control panel to change the settings for the internal digital video processor.

6INT/EXT–PRESET/REGEN (internal/external− preset/regenerated) switch

This switch is used to make selections relating to the time code and the internal time code generator.

(In this Operating Instructions, this switch may also be called simply as the INT/EXT switch or PRESET/ REGEN switch depending on the contents of the description in which the switch is referred to.)

 

Selection of internal/external time code

Setting

Time code used

 

 

INT

The time code produced by the internal time

 

code generator

 

By setting the switch to INT–REGEN or INT–

 

PRESET, you can select “PRESET” or “REGEN”

 

for the internal time code generator (see the

 

next table).

 

 

EXT

The external time code selected as follows.

 

•

When the TC SELECT switch is set to TC

 

 

The external time code input to the TIME

 

 

CODE IN connector

 

•

When the TC SELECT switch is set to VITC

 

 

The VITC time code included in the input

 

 

video signal

 

In this case, for the internal time code generator,

 

“REGEN” is always selected (see the next

 

table).

 

 

 

Selection relating to the internal time code generator

Setting

Operation of the internal time code generator

 

 

PRESET

The initial value of the time code produced by

 

the internal time code generator can be preset

 

by a control panel operation or by remote control

 

from a device connected to the REMOTE-IN or

 

REMOTE-OUT connector.

 

 

REGEN

The internal time code reader is synchronized to

 

the playback time code read by the internal time

 

code reader.

 

 

7FREE RUN/REC RUN switch

This switch selects the time code run mode of the internal time code generator.

FREE RUN: Regardless of the operating mode of this unit, the time code value advances continuously while the power is on.

REC RUN: The time code value advances only during recording. When this mode is selected, set the INT/EXT−PRESET/REGEN switch to INT−

PRESET.

8DF/NDF (drop-frame/non-drop-frame) switch (for the DSR-2000A only)

This switch selects the mode of advancing the time code generator and time counter.

DF: Drop-frame mode

NDF: Non-drop-frame mode

Note

When the PRESET/REGEN switch is set to REGEN, since the time code generator is synchronized to the playback time code, this switch has no effect.

9VITC switch

To record the time code produced by the internal time code generator as a VITC, set this switch to ON. When this switch is set to OFF, internally generated time code is not recorded as VITC, but VITC present in the input video signal is recorded unchanged.

!º TC (time code) SELECT switch

This switch selects the time code, TC or VITC, shown in the time counter display.
