aINT/EXT/RP188 (internal/external/RP188

selector) switch

Before recording time code, select the type of time code with this switch.

INT: Use time code generated internally by this unit.

EXT: Use time code input from an external source.

RP188: Use SMPTE RP188 LTC in an SDI signal.

bPRESET/REGEN (regeneration) switch

This switch selects whether to preset a new time code value or follow already recorded time code.

PRESET: Record time code starting with a preset initial value.

REGEN: Record time code continuous with existing time code on the disc. Regardless of the setting of the F- RUN/R-RUN switch, the unit operates in R-RUN mode.

cF-RUN/R-RUN (free run/recording run) switch This switch selects the operating mode of the internal time code generator.

F-RUN:Time code advances regardless of the operating state of the unit. Use this setting to align the time code with real time or to synchronize the time code with external time code.

R-RUN:Time code advances only during recording. Use this setting to obtain consecutive time code on the disc.

For details, see 4-1-2 “Recording Time Code and User Bit Values” (page 44).

dCOUNTER SEL button

This cycles the data displayed in the time data display through the sequence TC, UB, and COUNTER.

TC: The playback time code read by the internal time code reader, or the time code generated by the internal time code generator.

Make the TC or VITC selection in extended menu item 629 “TC SELECT.”

UB: The user bits inserted in the playback time code, or user bits generated by the internal time code generator.

Make the UB or VIUB selection in extended menu item 629 “TC SELECT.”

COUNTER: The elapsed recording/playback time (hours, minutes, seconds, frames). This can be reset by pressing the RESET button (see page 14).

The corresponding indicator above the time data display lights according to the setting.

You can also synchronize timecode with the time of the internal clock. For details, see “To set time code to the time of the internal clock” (page 45).

eHOLD button

Press this button to stop the time code generator. Also, when setting the time code or user bits to be recorded, press this button first, to hold the values.
