Recording in 24P (23.98P) Mode

Recording frame sequence and clip length

See the following figure for the frame sequence.

In 24P (23.98P) mode, recording start and stop timing is adjusted so that a recorded sequence always begins with an “A-frame” and ends with a “D-frame”. As a result, the number of frames in a clip is always a multiple of 4.

Recording timecode

When you preset timecode manually, select a multiple of 4 as the number of frames in the timecode, and adjust so that the preset timing begins with an “A-frame”.

The unit will then adjust so that the timecode at the start of recorded clips will have a number of frames that is a multiple of 4.

Notes

•The above adjustments are not carried out when you preset timecode remotely.

•No adjustments are made when you record external timecode. Therefore the number of frames in the timecode at the start of recorded clips may not have a number of frames that is a multiple of 4. If you want to make sure that the number of frames in the timecode of the first frames of recorded clips is a multiple of 4, set the run mode to “REC RUN”, and record after manually presetting the timecode.

Playback in 24P (23.98P) 2-3 Pulldown Mode

Pulldown playback frame sequences

During pulldown mode playback, playback is carried out so that the 24-frame timecode set with TIME CODE >PD PRESET in the setup menu becomes the “A-frame” of the frame sequence. The following figure shows the playback frame sequence when 01:00:00:00 has been set for the 24- frame timecode and 10:00:00:00 has been set for the 30- frame timecode.

Note

This kind of frame sequence adjustment is not carried out for clip list playback.
