TC TC/UB SET DV IN TC

Selects whether to record internal time code or external time code while the unit records the

 

(page 60 (GB)) signals input via the DV jack in DVCAM format.

 

 

 

INTERNAL

: Records the time code generated by the internal time code generator. (The

 

 

 

value of the time code or user bits depends on the settings of other menu items, such as

 

 

 

TC PRESET, UB PRESET, or TC MAKE.)

 

 

 

EXTERNAL: Records the time code with video and audio signals input via the DV jack.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Notes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• When you set REC MODE on the VTR SET menu to DV SP, this item cannot be used.

 

 

 

Even if this item is set to EXTERNAL, when you set REC MODE on the VTR SET menu to

 

 

 

DV SP, the setting becomes invalid and the unit records the internal time code.

 

 

• When this item is set to EXTERNAL, the INPUT SELECT selector on the front panel is set

 

 

 

to DV, and no signal is input via the DV jack, or the software of the editing controller does

 

 

 

not output a time code, if you start recording, bars (– –:– –:– –:– –) are recorded as time

 

 

 

code. At the point that the input of a signal begins, the time code of that signal will be

 

 

 

recorded.

 

 

• When this item is set to EXTERNAL, if you input time code to the DV jack that is not

 

 

 

continuous or does not advance correctly, the value of the recorded or displayed time

 

 

 

code may not be equal to the actual value of the input one. If you use a tape with this

 

 

 

problem, you may not be able to perform search or edit, depending on the devices you

 

 

 

use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TC MAKE

Selects the time code when you start recording.

 

(page 61 (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 61 (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, or to synchronize the internal

 

 

 

time code to an external time code.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 61 (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

•This menu is displayed only for the DSR-45.

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