STILL TIMER

 

To protect the disc against shock and vibrations, and to lengthen the life

 

 

 

of the laser diodes, the unit automatically enters standby off mode

 

 

 

whenever a specified time elapses in a disc stop mode (stop mode or the

 

 

 

still picture mode of search mode). This allows you to set the time after

 

 

 

which the unit exits a disc stop mode and enters standby off mode.

 

 

 

0.5 s to 8 m to 30 m: Can be set in the range from 0.5 seconds to 30

 

 

 

minutes.

 

 

 

off: Do not put into standby off mode.

601

VITC POSITION SEL-1

 

Select a line into which to insert VITC signals for IMX recording signals a)

 

 

 

and DVCAM playback signals. b)

 

 

 

12H ... 16H ... 20H (in 525(U)/525(J)-line modes)

 

 

 

9H ... 19H ... 22H (in 625-line mode)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note

 

 

 

You can insert the VITC signal in two places. To insert it in two places, set

 

 

 

both items 601 and 602.

 

 

 

a) In the IMX format, VITC is inserted as video signals in vertical blanking sections.

 

 

 

Because these signals are output as video signals during playback, the insertion

 

 

 

line can be specified only for recording.

 

 

 

b) In the DVCAM format, VITC is recorded as VAUX (Video Auxiliary) data.

 

 

 

Because VITC is inserted into video signals by the VITC generator only during

 

 

 

playback, the insertion line can be specified only for playback.

 

 

 

 

602

VITC POSITION SEL-2

 

Select a line into which to insert VITC signals for IMX recording signals a)
