Recording for Settings and Adjustments 4 Chapter

5 Set the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to F-RUN or R- RUN, corresponding to the desired operating mode for the time code generator.

The set user bit data will be recorded for both LTC and VITC.

To store the user bit setting in memory

The user bit setting (apart from the real time) is automatically retained in memory even when the power is turned off.

4-5-4 Synchronizing the Time Code

You can synchronize the internal time code generator of this camcorder with an external generator for the regeneration of an external time code. You can also synchronize the time code generators of other camcorders/ VTRs with the internal generator of this camcorder.

Connections for time code synchronization

Connect both the reference video signal and the external time code as illustrated below.

Procedure for time code synchronization

To synchronize the time code, proceed as follows:

Synchronizing the time code

1 Turn on the POWER switch.

2 Set the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to PRESET.

3 Set the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to F-RUN.

4 Set the DISPLAY switch to TC.

5 Supply a time code signal and a reference video signal complying with the SMPTE (for the DVW-970) or EBU (for the DVW-970P) standard and in proper phase relationship, to the TC IN connector and to the GENLOCK IN connector, respectively.
