4-1 Preparations for Recording

The relationship between the switch position and the line represented is shown in the following table. The factory default positions are 6 and 8 (for NTSC) and C and E (for PAL) for switches A and B respectively.

Notes

•Switch positions 0 and 1 are not effective for the DVW-250P (PAL).

•Switch positions B to F are not effective for the DVW-250 (NTSC).

•Select lines for the VITC which are not occupied by VITS (Vertical Interval Test Signal) or VIRS (Vertical Interval Reference Signal).

•It is not possible to use line 11 (NTSC) or 8 (PAL) because these carry the reference subcarrier signal.

2 Set the VITC REC switch to ON.

The VITC will be recorded on the tape with the video signals. Note that LTC is always recorded.

Checking the VITC

1 Set the DISPLAY switch by the status indication panel to TC.

2 Set the DISPLAY switch in the time code setting controls to VITC.

The status indication panel shows the VITC value.

Inserting the real time in VITC

Follow the procedure under “Setting the user bits to reflect the real time” (see page 4-8), selecting VITC U- BIT in step 2, and setting the REAL TIME record/set switch to REC ON in step 4.

Recording LTC

The LTC (Longitudial Time Code), including user bits, is automatically recorded together with the video and audio signals. No switch settings are required.

Checking the time code and user bits

See Section 5-3 “Reading and Displaying Time Code and User Bits” (page 5-5).
