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 (0.5 sec)... 8 m (8 min)... 30 m (30 min): 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)

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

modes)

 

 

 

9 H (9 line)... 19 H (19 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.

 

 

 

 

602

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)

TCG REGEN MODE

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

 

 

 

the regeneration mode (i.e., when the PRESET/REGEN switch is set to

 

 

 

REGEN).

 

 

 

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.
