Insert TC and Dubbing for Connector LINK.i the Using 6 Chapter

Rerecording the

Timecode – TC Insert

Function (DVCAM Format

Only)

The TC insert function makes it possible to use the internal timecode generator to rewrite timecode or user bit data when the timecode recorded on a tape is discontinuous. When recording in DVCAM format, you can start recording timecode from an initial value (see page 51) which can be set freely.

Notes

Use a tape which is recorded in the DVCAM format. (You cannot use the TC insert function with a tape recorded in HDV/DV format.)

The timecode recording starts from the current tape position. Cue the tape up beforehand to the required start position.

If you use a tape on which ClipLink log data is recorded, the ClipLink log data will be lost.

Press the TC PRESET button to set the initial value of the timecode to be inserted, then carry out the following procedure.
