The display shows the following types of time data:
Indication | Superimposed | Time data type |
| display |
|
TCR LTC | TCR | The LTC1) value read by |
|
| the time code reader during |
|
| playback. |
|
|
|
TCR VITC | TCR | The VITC1) value read by |
|
| the time code reader during |
|
| playback. |
|
|
|
TCG | TCG | The value generated by the |
|
| time code generator during |
|
| recording. |
|
|
|
CTL | CTL | The number of CTL |
|
| signals2) on the tape during |
|
| recording/playing. |
|
|
|
UBR LTC | UBR | The user bits3) value read |
|
| by the time code reader |
|
| (LTC) during playback. |
|
|
|
UBR VITC | UBR | The user bits value read by |
|
| the time code reader (VITC) |
|
| during playback. |
|
|
|
UBG | UBG | The user bits value |
|
| generated by the time code |
|
| generator during recording. |
|
|
|
DUR | DUR | Appears whenever a |
|
| duration between any two |
|
| edit points (IN, OUT, AUDIO |
|
| IN or AUDIO OUT points) is |
|
| displayed. |

1)LTC and VITC
LTC cannot be read when the tape speed is very slow or is changed suddenly. VITC, on the other hand, can be read more accurately than LTC when the VTR is stopped or the tape speed is very low. VITC, however, cannot be read when the tape speed is very fast.
2)CTL signals
CTL (control) signals are pulse signals that are recorded horizontally in each frame.
3)User bits
These represent supplementary information as part of the recorded time code, and consist of eight hexadecimal digits
Time data for IN, OUT, AIN and AOUT points are also displayed.

Selecting the time data display
Press the [F1] (TIMER SEL) button repeatedly to select the desired time data display.
CTL: Counts the CTL signals on the playback tape or the CTL signals being recorded on the tape, and displays the tape running time in hours, minutes, seconds, and frames.
TC: Displays the value read by the time code reader or the value generated by the time code generator. To switch between VITC and LTC, press the [F5] (TCR SEL) button.
UBIT: Displays user bits data inserted in time code being played back, or the user bits data inserted in time code being recorded. To switch between VITC and LTC, press the [F5] (TCR SEL) button.
