Items Related to the Time Code (601~)

The values enclosed in a box are factory settings.

Item number	Item	Settable range	Function
601	DF/NDF MODE	[drop frame]	Selects the timing mode for the time code generator and the
	select	non-drop frame	CTL counter.
		auto	drop frame: drop frame mode (“DF” indication)
			non-drop frame: non-drop frame mode (“NDF” indication)
			auto: Drop frame / non-drop frame mode is selected
			automatically on the basis of the frame frequency of the
			unit. For 29.97 Hz drop frame mode is selected, and for
			30 Hz non-drop frame mode is selected. The setting of
			the frame frequency mode is carried out with the
			[MAINTENANCE]/[F9]/(OTHERS CHECK/SYSTEM)
			buttons.

			Note
			• This setting is only active when the frame frequency of the
			unit is 29.97 Hz or 30 Hz.
			• When the [F7](TCG MODE) key is set to regene, the time
			code generator is synchronized to the playback time code,
			and therefore this setting is disabled.
602	TIMER MODE	CTL	Selects the mode for displaying time data.
	select	[TC]	CTL: During playback the CTL signal recorded on the tape,
		UBIT	or during recording the CTL signal being recorded on the
			tape, is counted, and the tape running time is displayed
			in hours, minutes, seconds, and frames.
			TC: The time code value read by the time code reader, or
			the time code value generated by the time code
			generator is displayed. Use item 603. to toggle between
			VITC and LTC.
			UBIT: The user bits inserted in the playback time code, or
			the user bits inserted in the being recorded are
			displayed. Use item 603. to toggle between VITC and
			LTC.
603	TCR MODE select	[LTC]	Selects the time code read by the time code reader during
		auto	playback.
		VITC	LTC: LTC is read.
			auto: If the playback speed is from –1/2 to +1/2 normal
			speed, VITC is read, and if outside this range LTC is
			read.
			VITC: VITC is read.
604	TAPE TIMER	+/– 12H	Selects whether the CTL counter operates in 12-hour
	DISPLAY	[24H]	display mode or 24-hour display mode.
			+/–12H: 12-hour display mode
			24H: 24-hour display mode

				Note
				In the ±12-hour display, the tens digit of the hours value is
				dropped.
605	VITC SOURCE	[TCG]	Selects the source for VITC to be written to the AUX data
		V IN	area of video signals.
			TCG: Write the signals generated by this unit’s internal time
				code generator to the VITC.
			V IN: Write the VITC of video signals input to this unit to the
				VITC.
