• When synchronizing to an external time code

Use this method to synchronize the time code

output (LTC) or the time code (VITC) in an input

video signal:

generators of a number of VTRs, or to record the

TCG (F1): EXT

playback time code signal from an external VTR

TCG (F2): REGEN

without deterioration of the signal waveform.

VITC: ON (when recording VITC)

In this case the RUN and DF settings are ignored. You

TCR: LTC or VITC according as you are

can synchronize the internal time code generator to

synchronizing to LTC or VITC (If set to

either of the following external time codes.

AUTO, LTC is used.)

• The time code output (LTC) of an external time code

• When synchronizing to the time code (SMPTE

generator or external VTR connected to the TIME

RP188) in an SDI signal:

CODE IN connector of the unit

TCG (F1): RP188

• The time code (VITC) present in a video signal input

TCG (F2), VITC, TCR: Any setting

to the unit

 

 

 

 

 

• The time code (SMPTE RP188) present in an SDI

Note

signal input to the unit

 

 

When the TCG (F1) is set to RP188, when settings

 

 

 

To synchronize the internal time code generator to an

of the TCG (F1) and VID.IN conflict with each

other, or when the input signal selected with the

external signal, use the following procedure.

VID.IN is not present, the TCG (F1) setting

 

 

 

 

 

 

display flashes.

 

Z

 

This starts the internal time code generator running

 

 

 

in synchronization with the external time code

 

 

 

generator.

 

 

 

Once the internal time code generator is

 

 

 

synchronized with the external time code

 

 

 

generator, even if the external time code generator

 

 

 

connection is removed, the internal time code

generator continues to run.

1• When synchronizing to an external time code output (LTC):

Connect the time code output of the external time code generator or external VTR to the TIME CODE IN connector.

•When synchronizing to the time code (VITC) in an input video signal:

With the VID.IN in function menu HOME page, select an input video signal containing VITC.

•When synchronizing to the time code (SMPTE RP188) in an SDI signal:

With the VID.IN in function menu HOME page, select SDI.
