VITC POSITION SEL-2

 

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

 

 

 

and DVCAM playback signals. b)

 

 

 

12 H (12 line)... 18 H (18 line)... 20 H (20 line) (in 525(U)/525(J) line

 

 

 

modes)

 

 

 

9 H (9 line)... 21 H (21 line)... 22 H (22 line) (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.

 

 

 

605

TCG REGEN MODE

Select the signal to be regenerated when the time code generator is in

 

 

 

the regeneration mode (i.e., when “int regen,” “ext regen” or “rp188

 

 

 

regen” is selected in menu item 626).

 

 

 

TC&UB: Both the time code and user bits are regenerated.

 

 

 

TC: Only the time code is regenerated.

 

 

 

UB: Only the user bits are regenerated.

 

 

 

 

607

U-BIT BINARY GROUP FLAG

 

Select the user bits to be used in the time code generated by the time

 

 

 

code generator.

 

 

 

000 (000:not specified): Character set not specified.

 

 

 

001 (001:iso character): 8-bit characters compliant with ISO 646 and

 

 

 

ISO 2022.

 

 

 

010 (010:unassigned-1): Undefined.

 

 

 

011 (011:unassigned-2): Undefined.

 

 

 

100 (100:unassigned-3): Undefined.

 

 

 

101 (101:page / line): SMPTE 262M page/line multiplex system.

 

 

 

110 (110:unassigned-4): Undefined.

 

 

 

111 (111:unassigned-5): Undefined.

 

 

 

 

611

TC OUTPUT PHASE IN EE MODE

 

Select the time code output mode for output from the TIME CODE OUT

 

 

 

connector in E-E mode.

 

 

 

mutng (muting): Suppress the output.

 

 

 

thru (through): Output the time code input to the TIME CODE IN

 

 

 

connector as it is.

 

 

 

v-in (video input phase): Output the time code with the same phase as

 

 

 

the input video signal phase.

 

 

 

v-out (video output phase): Output the time code with the same phase

 

 

 

as the output video signal phase.

 

 

 

 

612

TC OUTPUT MUTING IN SEARCH

 

Select whether to suppress the output from the TIME CODE OUT

 

MODE

 

connector in jog/shuttle mode.

 

 

 

on: Suppress.

 

 

 

off: Do not suppress.

 

 

 

 

619

VITC

 

Specify whether or not to record the VITC generated by the internal time

 

 

 

code generator.

 

 

 

off: Do not record internally generated VITC.

 

 

 

on: Record internally generated VITC.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note

 

 

 

 

Even

if this item is set to “off,” VITC is recorded if the input video signal

 

 

 

contains VITC and the VITC line is set to “thru” with item 723.
