Time counter screen

To display the time counter on the LCD monitor, press the DISPLAY button. On the time counter screen, the time data (count value of the counter/time code/user bits) is displayed.

While the time counter is displayed, the position of the time counter can be moved up and down by pressing the J/j buttons. When the small size time counter is displayed, the position of the time counter can be moved not only up and down, but also to the left and right by pressing the K/k buttons.

00:10:26:12

When the count value of the counter is negative, “–” appears as the first digit (leftmost digit). When that value is positive, the first digit is blank. When the format of the displayed time code is the drop frame mode, the drop frame indicator is displayed as a period between the minutes and seconds (i.e., 00:12.58:00). When user bits are displayed, the space between hour, minute, and second is blank.

Notes

•In the playback mode, if the tape has a portion where recorded signals are not continuous:

–The count value of the counter may not advance correctly from that portion.

–The displayed value of the time code or user bits may be temporarily inaccurate.

•When the unit plays back a part of the tape where the recorded systems of 60i (including 24p and 30p) and 50i (including 25p) are mixed, the displayed value of the counter may be inaccurate.

•When the unit plays back a part of the tape where the recording format has been changed among HDV, DVCAM and DV, the displayed value may be inaccurate.

•The counter operates on a ±12-hour cycle. You cannot make the counter operate on a 24-hour cycle.

•The count value of the counter consists of seven digits. The tens place of the “hour” is not displayed. (i.e., If the actual count value is “11:22:11:22”, the displayed value will be “1:22:11:22.”) However, the unit recognizes that the hours value is “11.”
