3DISPLAY switch

This selects which time code is displayed in the status indication panel (see page 2-4). This switch is only effective when the DISPLAY switch by the status indication panel (see page 2-5)is set to the TC or U- BIT position.

LTC: Display the LTC (Longitudinal Time Code).

VITC: Display the VITC.

4F-RUN/R-RUN (free-run/record-run) switch This selects the operating mode of the internal time code generator.

F-RUN: The time code generator keeps running, regardless of the operating state of the unit. Use this position when setting the time code to real time or synchronizing it to an external time code.

SET: Move the switch to this position when setting the time code or user bits value.

R-RUN: The time code generator runs only while recording. This produces a tape with consecutive time code values, even when shot intermittently.

5ADVANCE button

When setting the time code or user bits value, pressing this button increments the digit which is flashing.

This button is effective only when the F-RUN/R- RUN switch or REAL TIME record/set switch is in the SET position.

6SHIFT button

When setting the time code or user bits value, pressing this button cycles through the digits, flashing the one which can be changed. This button is effective only when the F-RUN/R-RUN switch or REAL TIME record/set switch is in the SET position.

7REAL TIME record/set switch

This selects whether or not to record the real time as user bit data. It is also used for setting the real time.

REC ON: Record the real time as user bit data.

OFF: Do not record the real time as user bit data.

SET: Set the real time.

8REAL TIME insertion time code selection switch

This selects whether to insert the real time as user bit data in the LTC or VITC.

LTC U-BIT: Insert the user bit value in the LTC.

VITC U-BIT: Insert the user bit value in the VITC.

9EXT-LOCK/U-BIT switch

This selects whether or not to lock the user bit data to external user bit data.

ON: The user bit value is locked to the user bit value inserted in the external time code.

OFF: The user bit value set on this unit is used.

0DF/NDF switch (DVW-250 only)

This selects whether to use drop frame mode or non- drop frame mode.

For an explanation of the significance of these modes, see the footnotes on page 4-9.

DF: drop frame mode

NDF: non-drop frame mode

!¡ DIAG (diagnosis) switch

Press this switch to carry out diagnosis on the unit.
