Selecting the time code and the user bits to be recorded

Use the [F6], [F7], and [F9] buttons in the TC menu to specify the time code and the user bits to be recorded. The specifications for the various button settings are shown in the following table.

[F7] (TCG MODE)

[F6] (REGENE SOURCE)

TC/UB enables TCG/UBG values to be recorded. Any

 

 

 

time code can be specified for the time code generator

 

 

 

and the user bits generator. The running mode for the

 

 

 

recorded time code data conforms to that specified by

 

 

 

the [F9] button.

“prst” is set in other modes.

 

 

 

 

1)The DF/NDF setting on the [F9] button is applied to the time code only when “prst” is specified by the [F7] button; the DF/NDF setting is always applied for the CTL timer.

2)Specify the signal to be regenerated with the VTR SETUP menu item 608 “TCG/UBG REGENE MODE”. Signals not specified by this menu item are automatically set to Preset mode, regardless of the [F7] button setting.

Setting time codes

To set time codes, select “prst” with the [F7] (TCG MODE) button in the TC menu and then follow the steps below.

•Set the [F8] (RUN MODE) button to “rec” before setting the time data for recording. When you select “rec”, time data advances from a set value only during recording.

When you select “free”, time code advances in real time after the initial value has been set.

•During recording, VITC is always written to the AUX data area of the video signal.

1 Press the [F1] (TIMER SEL) button to select the TC (time code) to be set.

2 Enter the new setting in the data entry window with the numeric buttons.

For example, to enter 01H00M30S00F, press 1, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0. (The leading 0 is not required. When the entered value is less than eight digits, the leading digit(s) is (are) set to 0 when you press the SET button.)
