Recording Timecode to Continue from Previously Recorded Timecode
Internal regen mode
When the recording format on the tape is DVCAM or DV, and the recording format of this unit is set to be the same as on the tape, you can record timecode consecutively from the timecode already recorded on the tape.
To do this, set the TC MODE menu item to INT REGEN. When recording starts the timecode on the tape is read, and this unit internally generates and records continuing timecode.
In this case, the frame count mode is the same as that of the timecode recorded on the tape
Note
When the recording format of the tape is HDV, this setting is not available.
