When the SUB STATUS menu item (see page 76) is set to anything other than OFF, you can display the supplementary status information relating to the editing mode and timecode generator.

For details of the contents of the text information, see “Superimposed Text Information” (page 29).

For details of supplementary status information, see “Displaying Supplementary Status Information” (page 30).

To reset the CNT value

Press the RESET (NO) button in the menu control section. The time counter display changes to 0:00:00:00.

Notes

When the remote control switch on this unit is set to 9PIN or i.LINK, and an external device is connected to

the REMOTE connector orHDV/DV connector on the rear panel, then it is only possible to switch TC and UB by pressing the COUNTER SELECT button on this unit. In this case, switch the time data display from the external device.

During playback, if there are discontinuous sections of recording on the tape, these may cause the counter to malfunction.

Notes

The count value of the counter in this unit is a simplified result calculated from timecode.

In the following cases, therefore, an accurate result may not be calculated.

When using a tape with discontinuous timecode

When using a tape with mixed DF/NDF recording

When using a tape with unrecorded or discontinuous recorded sections between recorded sections

During playback, at the boundary between different video recording formats (HDV, DVCAM, or DV), the value shown for the counter at that position may be inaccurate.
