Synchronizing the Time Codes

Signals Video the Adjusting and Code Time the Setting 4 Chapter

•The internal time code is output with the phase synchronized to the line-outs (COMPONENT OUTPUT, S VIDEO OUT, VIDEO OUT2) when TC/ UB IN on the TC/UB SET menu is set to

INTERNAL.

(When the EE signal is output, the output signals of the line-outs are delayed for one line from the input video signal when the component video (CAMERA) or S-video is input, and delayed for two lines from the input video signal when the composite video (CAMERA, VIDEO/REF.IN) is input.)

•When inputting signals from the DV IN/OUT connector, if you set TC/UB IN to INTERNAL or UB EXT, the time code and user bits generated internally are recorded under the INTERNAL setting in TC/UB IN on the TC/UB SET menu. If you want to record with the time code input from the DV IN/ OUT connector, set TC/UB IN to TC EXT or TC&UB EXT, or use the duplicate function.

•When the DVCAM/DV select switch is set to DVCAM, if you set TC/UB IN to TC EXT or TC&UB EXT, this unit records the time code input from the DV IN/OUT connector and the user bits internally generated, and the TC OUT connector outputs the same time code and user bits.

•During the duplicate operation, this unit records the time code and user bits on the source tape currently being duplicated and the TC OUT connector outputs the same time code and user bits. The time code and user bits are output with the phase synchronized to the line-outs (COMPONENT OUTPUT, S VIDEO OUT, VIDEO OUT2) during the duplicate operation.

For details on the duplicate function, see “Duplication (generating a work tape with the same time code)” on page 70 (GB).

•During the audio dubbing operation, the TC OUT connector outputs the time code and user bits on the tape currently being played.

For details on audio dubbing, see “Audio Dubbing” on page 74 (GB).

•To display and check the time code currently being advanced with the FREE RUN setting, press the REC button when all the conditions below are met.

–The unit is in the stop mode.

–The COUNTER switch is set to TC.

–TC RUN on the TC/UB SET menu is set to FREE RUN.

–TC MAKE on the TC/UB SET menu is set to

PRESET.

If you press the STOP button, the time code display returns to the last time code value it was able to read on the tape.

•To display the current time that is set in CLOCK SET on the OTHERS menu as the user bits, press the REC button when all the conditions below are met.

–The unit is in the stop mode.

–The COUNTER switch is set to U-BIT.

–UB TIME on the TC/UB SET menu is set to ON. (If UB TIME is set to OFF, the value set in UB PRESET will be displayed.)

If you press the STOP button, the user bits display returns to the last value it was able to read on the tape.

•If the external time code input is discontinuous or does not advance correctly, the time code input may be delayed compared to the time code recorded on the tape or the time code shown on the display of this unit. If there is a discontinuous time code on your recorded tape, you may not be able to edit or search correctly, depending on the device connected to this unit.
