Information Text and Data Time Setting/Displaying 2 Chapter

Setting Time Code and User Bits

2Set switches on the subsidiary control panel as follows. TC SELECT switch: TC or VITC according as you are

synchronizing to TC or VITC INT/EXT–PRESET/REGEN switch: EXT–REGEN (left position) VITC switch: ON (when recording VITC)

This starts the internal time code generator running in synchronization with the external time code generator.

Once the internal time code generator is synchronized with the external time code generator, even if the external time code generator connection is removed, the internal time code generator continues to run.

Note

When the input mode is V:SDTI, SDTI or i.LINK (the V:SDTI, SDTI or i.LINK indicator is lit in the input selection/audio mode display section), then setting the INT/EXT−PRESET/REGEN switch to EXT−REGEN automatically synchronizes the internal time code generator to the time code transferred through the SDTI(QSDI) INPUT connector or i.LINK connector.

Note that when the INT/EXT−PRESET/REGEN switch is set to EXT− REGEN, the advance mode and frame count mode (DSR-2000A only) are automatically set as follows.

Advance mode: free running

Frame count mode (DSR-2000A only): the same as the external time code signal (drop frame or non-drop frame)

To check the synchronization to the external signal

Press the STOP button to stop this unit, then press the REC button. Watch the time counter display, and check that the values displayed coincide with the external time code values.
