displayed.

 

“LTC”: Longitudinal timecode

 

 

of

 

“LUB”: Longitudinal user bits

 

“VITC”: VITC

Parts

 

 

“VIUB”: VIUB user bits

 

 

“CTL”: CTL count value

 

 

• VITC/LTC status

 

 

This indicates the VITC or LTC read status.

 

 

“VITC”: VITC values are being read normally.

 

 

“LTC”: LTC values are being read normally.

“” (blank): The values are not being read normally.

• TCG RUN mode

This shows the criterion for starting the timecode generator when the timecode generator is in the “INT-PSET” state. “F-RUN”:The timecode generator always runs.

“R-RUN”:The timecode generator runs only when recording is in progress.

• VTR control mode

This indicates the control status of the VTR.

“” (blank): The VTR is being operated as a standalone

unit.

“PARARUN”: This unit and devices connected to the unit by 9-pin connectors are being operated simultaneously from the control panel.

“R-CTRL”:This unit is being operated from the control panel (as a recorder) when two units are being used for editing.

“P-CTRL”:A device connected to this unit by a 9-pin connector is being operated from the control panel (as a player) when two units are being used for editing.

• TCG mode

This indicates the operation mode of the timecode generator (TCG).

“INT-PSET”:A preset value for the internal TCG is being used.

“INT-LTC”:The TCG synchronizes with the LTC recorded on a tape.

“INT-VITC”:The TCG synchronizes with the VITC recorded on a tape.

“EXT-LTC”:The TCG synchronizes with the external LTC input.

“SDI-LTC”:The TCG synchronizes with the LTC superimposed on the HDSDI input.

“SDI-VITC”:The TCG synchronizes with the VITC superimposed on the HDSDI input.

“HDV-LTC”:The TCG synchronizes with the LTC superimposed on the HDV (i.LINK) input. (Option)

“HDV-VITC”:The TCG synchronizes with the VITC superimposed on the HDV (i.LINK) input. (Option)

• DF status

This indicates the drop-frame status of the timecode. “DF”: Drop-frame mode

“NDF”: Non-drop-frame mode

“” (blank): The drop-frame status of the timecode is unknown.

Note

A blank appears in modes without drop-frame such as the 50i mode.

cMenu page selection buttons

These buttons select function menu pages to display on the LCD.

• P1: HOME button

This button selects the HOME function menu page. The HOME page allows you to make settings for basic VTR and editing operations.

• P2: TC button

This button selects the TC (timecode) function menu page. The TC page allows you to change between LTC and VITC, change between DF and NDF, and make settings for the timecode indications on an external monitor.

• P3: VID PROC button

This button selects the VID PROC (video processor) function menu page. The VIDEO page allows you to make settings for items relating to video.

• P4: AUD INP button

This button selects the AUD INP (audio input) function menu page. The AUDIO page allows you to make settings for items relating to audio.

• P5: PAGE DOWN button

Each time this button is pressed, the function menu page changes in the order P01 t P02 t P03 t P04 t P05

tP06 t P07 t P08 t P01 …

When this button is pressed with the SHIFT/ENTRY button held down, the function menu page changes in the reverse order.

dDISPLAY button

This button toggles the display mode between function display mode and video display mode.
