TC TC/UB SET TC MAKE

Selects the time code when you start recording.

 

(page 44 (GB))

 

 

REGEN

: The time code value is set to continuous time code from the one already

 

 

 

 

recorded on the tape. If no time code is recorded on the tape, it starts from 00:00:00:00.

 

 

 

 

PRESET: The time code starts from the value set in TC PRESET on the TC/UB SET

 

 

 

 

menu.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TC RUN

 

Selects the advancement mode (counting up).

 

(page 45 (GB))

 

 

REC RUN

: Time code value advances only while recording.

 

 

 

 

FREE RUN: Time code value advances even when the unit is not recording. (This mode is

 

 

 

 

used to set the current time as the initial time code value.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Notes

 

 

 

 

 

• If you set the advancement mode to FREE RUN, the time code will be updated by the

 

 

 

 

internal clock when the power is off. Therefore, when you turn on the unit again, the time

 

 

 

 

code may have been delayed or advanced somewhat.

 

 

 

• If the internal backup battery is exhausted, the time code of the FREE RUN setting is

 

 

 

 

initialized.

 

 

 

 

 

 

TC FORMAT

Selects the frame mode.

 

(page 45 (GB))

 

 

AUTO

: Automatically sets the frame mode in accordance with the inserted cassette. (If

 

 

 

 

nothing is recorded on the tape, the mode is set to the non-drop frame mode. If the unit

 

 

 

 

cannot read the frame mode correctly in the tape, the unit will use the frame mode that

 

 

 

 

was set in the last position it was able to read correctly on the tape. If you remove the

 

 

 

 

cassette, the mode of the last position it was able to read correctly is cleared and the

 

 

 

 

mode is set to the non-drop frame mode. If TC MAKE is set to PRESET, the mode is

 

 

 

 

also set to the non-drop frame mode.)

 

 

 

 

DF: Selects the drop frame mode.

 

 

 

 

NDF: Selects the non-drop frame mode.

Notes

•When the NTSC/PAL select switch is set to PAL, the unit works as a PAL model. Therefore while recording in the DVCAM format, the time code generated by the unit turns to the non-drop frame mode. Even if an NTSC formatted signal is input to the DV jack, the time code generated by the unit is non-drop frame mode as long as the switch is set to PAL, regardless of this item setting. If you intend to set the unit to generate the time code in the drop frame mode, set the NTSC/PAL select switch to NTSC. As a result, this item setting returns to the status which was set before the NTSC/PAL switch was flipped to PAL.

•Regardless of this item setting, the frame mode is set to drop frame when you record in DV format (Only for NTSC).
