TC TC/UB SET TC PRESET

Resets/Sets the time code value.

 

(page 56 (GB)) RESET: Resets the time code value to 00:00:00:00.

 

 

 

PRESET: Sets the time code value.

: Returns to the TC/UB SET menu without changing the time code value.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before setting the initial time code value, set TC MAKE to PRESET. If TC MAKE has been

 

 

set to REGEN, you cannot change the time code with this submenu.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UB PRESET

Resets/Sets the user bits value.

 

(page 57 (GB)) RESET: Resets the user bits value to 00 00 00 00.

 

 

 

PRESET: Sets the user bits value. (You can set the user bits as eight-digit hexadecimal

 

 

 

values (0 to 9, A to F) (base 16) to have the date, time, scene number, and other

 

 

 

information inserted into the user bits.)

 

 

 

RETURN

 

 

: Returns to the TC/UB SET menu without changing the user bits value.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TC FORMAT

Selects the frame mode.

 

(page 59 (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 turn the

 

 

 

power on/off or remove the tape, 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.)

 

 

 

DF: Selects the drop frame mode.

 

 

 

NDF: Selects the non-drop frame mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Notes

 

 

 

 

 

• This menu is displayed only for DSR-50.

 

 

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

 

 

 

format.

 

 

 

 

 

TC RUN

Selects the advancement mode (counting up).

 

(page 59 (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.
