UBG

The user bits value generated

 

 

by the time code generator

 

 

during recording.

 

 

 

DUR

DUR

Appears whenever a duration

 

 

between any two edit points

 

 

(IN, OUT, AUDIO IN or AUDIO

 

 

OUT points) is displayed.

Time data for IN, OUT, AUDIO IN and AUDIO OUT points are also displayed.
Selecting the time data display

Press the [F1] (TIMER SEL) button repeatedly to select the desired time data display.

CTL: Counts the CTL signals on the playback tape or the CTL signals being recorded on the tape, and displays the tape running time in hours, minutes, seconds, and frames.

TC: Displays the value read by the time code reader or the value generated by the time code generator. To switch between VITC and LTC, press the [F5] (TCR SEL) button.

UBIT: Displays user bits data inserted in time code being played back, or the user bits data inserted in time code being recorded. To switch between VITC and LTC, press the [F5] (TCR SEL) button.

1)LTC and VITC

LTC cannot be read when the tape speed is very slow or is changed suddenly. VITC, on the other hand, can be read more accurately than LTC when the VTR is stopped or the tape speed is very low. VITC, however, cannot be read when the tape speed is very fast.

2)CTL signals

CTL (control) signals are pulse signals that are recorded horizontally in each frame.

3)User bits

Comprising a part of the time code, user bits record supplementary information and consist of an eight-digit number or hexadecimal A to F.
