Setting the Time Data
Chapter 3 Convenient Functions for Editing Operation
To display the desired time data in the time
counter display
Press the COUNTER SELECT button on the front panel.
Each press of this button cycles through three options:
CNT value, time code, and user bit data. The time data type
indicator for each option lights as it is selected.
Note
When the REMOTE indicator in the front panel display
section is lit, the COUNTER SELECT button does not
operate while the tape is moving. In such cases, use the
external equipment connected to the REMOTE connector
on the rear panel to select the time data.
To reset the CNT value
Press the RESET (NO) button in the menu control section.
This resets the CNT value to 0:00:00:00.
Note
During playback, if the recording on the tape includes
discontinuities, the counter may operate incorrectly at the
corresponding points.
Using the Internal Time Code
Generator
You can set the initial time code value before recording the
time code generated by the internal time code generator
onto a tape. In addition, you can use the user bits to record
such data as the date, time, scene number, reel number, or
other useful information.
When an external time code generator is connected to the
TC IN connector, the internal time code generator can be
locked to (synchronized with) an external time code.
To set the initial time code value and user
bit data
1 Press the COUNTER SELECT button to light the time
data type indicator “TC” or “U-BIT.”
TC: To set the initial time code value
U-BIT: To set user bit data
The current time code value or user bit data is shown
in the time counter display.
