In this case, the setting of extended menu item 628 “DF MODE” is ignored. New time code is recorded in the drop- frame mode of the last recorded time code on the disc.
To record with the internal time code generator synchronized to external time code
You can record with the internal time code generator synchronized to time code input from an external device. Use this method to synchronize the time code generators of a number of recorders, or to carry out recording maintaining the synchronization between the source video and time code.
In this case, the settings of extended menu items 627 “RUN MODE” and 628 “DF MODE” are ignored. You can synchronize the internal time code generator to one of the following external time codes.
•TC input to this unit’s TIME CODE IN connector
•VITC in a video signal input to this unit
•SMPTE RP188 LTC in an SDI signal input to this unit
•i.LINK TC input to this unit’s 
S400 (i.LINK) connector
•i.LINK VITC input to this unit’s 
S400 (i.LINK) connector
Use the following procedure to synchronize the internal time code generator according to the type of external time code.

1Make either of the following connections and settings.
To synchronize to time code input to the TIME CODE IN connector
Connect the time code output from the external device to the TIME CODE IN connector. Press the VIDEO INPUT SEL button and, while viewing the INPUT display, select one of SDI, CMPST, or SG.
To synchronize to VITC in an input video signal Connect a video signal containing VITC to the VIDEO IN connector or the SDI IN connector. Press the VIDEO INPUT SEL button and, while viewing the INPUT display, select CMPST or SDI.
To synchronize to SMPTE RP188 LTC in an SDI signal
Connect an SDI signal containing SMPTE RP188 LTC to the SDI IN connector.
To synchronize to i.LINK TC
Connect an i.LINK signal to the 
S400 (i.LINK) connector. Press the VIDEO INPUT SEL button and, while viewing the INPUT display, select i.LINK.
To synchronize to i.LINK VITC
Connect an i.LINK signal to the 
S400 (i.LINK) connector. Press the VIDEO INPUT SEL button and, while viewing the INPUT display, select i.LINK.
2 Make the following settings.
To synchronize to time code input to the TIME CODE IN connector
•Set extended menu item 626 “TC MODE” to “ext regen.”
•Set extended menu item 629 “TC SELECT” to “tc.”
To synchronize to VITC in an input video signal
•Set extended menu item 626 “TC MODE” to “ext regen.”
•Set extended menu item 629 “TC SELECT” to “vitc.”
To synchronize to SMPTE RP188 LTC in an SDI signal
Set extended menu item 626 “TC MODE” to “rp188 regen.”
To synchronize to i.LINK TC
•Set extended menu item 626 “TC MODE” to “ext regen.”
•Set extended menu item 629 “TC SELECT” to “tc.”
To synchronize to i.LINK VITC
•Set extended menu item 626 “TC MODE” to “ext regen.”
•Set extended menu item 629 “TC SELECT” to “vitc.”
For details of menu setting operations, see Chapter 8 “Menus” on page 101.
This starts the internal time code generator running in synchronization with the external time code generator. Once the internal time code generator is synchronized with the external time code generator, even if the external time code generator connection is removed, the internal time code generator continues to run.
Notes
•When the input video signal selected is i.LINK or SDI, (the INPUT display shows i.LINK or SDI), setting
