Recording/Playback 4 Chapter
You can record time code so that it is continuous from one clip to the next on the disc.
Set the INT/EXT/RP188 switch to INT and the PRESET/ REGEN switch to REGEN beforehand. When this setting is in force, the unit reads the time code of the last frame of the last recorded clip on the disc before starting to record, and internally generates time code that follows upon the recorded time code.
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 the
You can synchronize the internal time code generator to one of the following external time codes.
•TC input to this unit’s TC 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.

1 Make either of the following connections and settings.
To synchronize to time code input to the TC IN connector
Connect the time code output from the external device to the TC IN connector. Press the VIDEO INPUT SEL button and, while viewing the time data display or the video panel, select one of SDI, COMPOSITE, 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 time data display or the video panel, select COMPOSITE 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 time data display or the video panel, 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 time data display or the video panel, select i.LINK.
