External time code frame rate
External time code value
<Note>
When recording external time code, you can check the external time code value
and frame rate by switching the time display on the Normal screen to “LTC IN”
using the [TIME] key (see the screen example below). If the external time code
frame rate does not match the [FRAME] select switch setting, the frame rate shown
on the screen flashes for warning. In this case, set the [FRAME] select switch
appropriately to match the external time code.
Selecting the TC generate mode
Use the [TC GEN] select switch to select the generator mode for time code
recording from among “24H RUN”, “REC RUN”, “FREE RUN” and “EXT RUN”.
Time code starts from the internal RTC (real-time clock) data.
When recording to a new file, the generator records time code from the value which
continues to the last time code value of the previous audio disk. When recording to a new
disk which has no audio file after exchanging a disk, the generator records time code
from the value which continues to the last time code value of the previous disk used
before disk exchange.
Runs the internal generator by the free run mode, and records the current internal generator
time as the start time.
Records an incoming external time code value as the start time.
Setting the time code output
Use the [TC OUT] switch to select the time code source (REPRO or GEN) fed
from the [TIME CODE OUT] connector.
Outputs time code recorded on the disk.
Outputs the internal generator time code.
<Notes>
By setting the [TC OUT] switch to “GEN”, the [TIME CODE OUT] connector can
output the internal generator time code only when the generator is running
with the [TC GEN] switch set to “FREE RUN” or with the switch set to [REC RUN]
or [24H RUN] during recording.
See “Chapter 6: TC Setup mode” on page 81 for details about the LTC start
time, TC user bit editing, internal TC generator start time setting, the generator
user bit setting, etc.
