10-5 SUB TIME CODE RECORDING AND PLAYBACK
10 HOW TO USE TIME CODE
Notes
● When menu switch No. 450
<SUB TC<VITC> REC> is
set to “ON (1)”
The sub time code is
regenerated with the VITC
signal superimposed on the
video signal from the
[VIDEO IN] connector.
●[TC OUT] connector output
No sub time code data is
output through the rear
panel [TC OUT] connector.
Only main time code (LTC)
is output from the built-in
time code reader.
Time Code Signal Flow
Time code data flow depends on the setting of the menu switch or the [INT/EXT]
switch.
Use this as a reference for switch setting.
Recording sub time code
● In the sub time code sector, you can record either the same data as in the main
time code or the VITC time code received through the [VIDEO IN] connector.
1. Select data to be recorded on the sub time code.
● Menu switch No. 450 <SUB TC (VITC) REC>
OFF (0): “00:00:00:00” is always recorded on the sub time code.
ON (1): Records the VITC received from the [VIDEO IN] connector on the
sub time code.
Initial setting: ON (1)
2. Record the sub time code.
Press the [PLAY] button while pressing the [REC] button.
The selected time code will be recorded.
Play back the sub time code.
● Sub time code data is output through the [VIDEO OUT] connector as a VITC time
code signal superimposed on the video signal.
1. Enable sub time code playback.
● Set menu switch No. 451 <VITC OUTSEL> to “SUB TC (0)”.
Factory setting: TC (1)
2. Play back the sub time code.
Press the [PLAY] button.
[Sub time code data is output through the [VIDEO OUT] connector as a VITC
time code signal superimposed on the video signal.
Sub time code data (indicated with SUB) is shown with the main time code
on the on-screen display (with menu switch No. 504 <INFORMATION
SELECT> set to “TIME+SUB TC (3)” or “TIME+SUB TC+MODE (4)”).
In addition to the main time code used for editing, this unit can also record (and play back) an optional sub time
code in the time code data area on the tape.
