6 – Internal Settings and Operations
Free once, jam sync
STATUS
This shows the time code generator mode of the unit and the time code frame type of the current project.
GENERATOR
The top line shows the time of the current time code generator.
The bottom line shows the user bits.
Touch the GENERATOR item EDIT button or the user bit display area to open the T/CUSERBITS screen.
When the time code generator is in Free Run mode, press the RESTART button to return to the start time of the time code generator time code.
TC IN
The top line shows the time of the input time code and the frame type. The bottom line shows the user bits of the input time code.
In Free Run mode, touch the CAPTURE button to capture the current time code and set it as the time code of the time code generator.
If the time code generator mode is Free Once or Jam Sync, the capture status (WAITING) indicator lights green when waiting for time code, and it turns off after time code is captured.
START TIME
When you touch the GENERATOR item’s RESTART button, the time when the time code restarts is shown. Touch the STARTTIME item EDIT button or the start time display area to open the STARTTIME screen.
SETUP page
Make settings related to the time code generator.
STATUS
This area shows the unit’s current project time code frame type.
TC GEN MODE
Set the time code generator mode.
FREE RUN: The time code generator runs on its own.
FREE ONCE (default value): After the input time code is captured once, the unit starts free run mode.
TIME OF DAY: If you conduct any of the following operations, the time will be captured from the internal clock and free run mode will start.
•• Turn the power on
•• Set “TC GEN MODE” to this mode
•• Reset the internal clock
JAM SYNC: When time code is input, the unit synchronizes to it. If time code input is interrupted, the unit enters free run mode.
REGEN: The unit synchronizes to the input time code.
REC RUN: The time code generator only functions during recording. At all other times, the time code generator stops.
I/O page
Set the synchronization signal status display and time code output.
STATUS
This shows the status of synchronization signals.
•• | TIME CODE IN: When time code is input, the time code |
| frame rate is shown. |
•• | WORD/VIDEO IN: When a synchronization signal is |
| input, WORD, VIDEO or TriLevel is shown. |
TC Out Mode
Set the time code output mode.
•• GenOut (default setting): Timecode is output from the internal timecode generator.
•• PlayOut: Only during playback, output the time code recorded in the file.
