4-3-5 Selecting the Drop Frame Mode (DF/NDF)

Press the [F9] (DF/NDF) button to select the running mode for the CTL counter and the time code generator.

DF: Drop frame mode1) (DF is displayed.)

NDF: Non-drop frame mode2) (NDF is displayed.)

auto: The unit switches to drop frame mode when the field frequency is 29.97 Hz, and switches to non-drop frame mode when the field frequency is 30 Hz.

1)Drop frame mode

In order to compensate for differences between time code values from the time code generator and the actual time that occurs when the frame frequency of this unit is 29.97 Hz, the drop frame mode causes the time code generator to omit the first two frames (frame 00 and 01) in each minute except the tenth.

2)Non-drop frame mode

In this mode, drop frame mode processing is not performed. Since there is no frame cutting, a discrepancy of about 86 seconds occurs each day in the case of a frame frequency of 29.97 Hz.

Notes

•This setting is only active when the frame frequency of the unit is 29.97 Hz or 30 Hz.

•When the [F7] (TCG MODE) button is set to “regene”, the drop frame mode is inoperative since the time code generator is synchronized to the playback time code.
