Description
INT: Built-in time code generator.
EXT LTC: LTC time code from TIME CODE input connector.
S LTC: LTC time code added to serial signals; not displayed
when the SD mode is selected.
S VTC: VTC time code added to serial signals; not
displayed when the SD mode is selected.
EXT VITC: VITC time code added to video signals; not
displayed when the HD mode is selected.
≥When the F1 (SOURCE) key is at [INT], AUTO, PRESET and
SALVE are displayed.
AUTO: Generator locks at the value read out by the
reader. In this case there is no time code setting.
(Only during editing.) During normal recording,
however, any setting of the generator can be
performed.
PRESET: Generator does not lock at the value read out by
the reader. Generator can be set freely.
SLAVE: The generator is locked to the reader’s readout
value. In this case, the time code cannot be set.
≥When the F1 (SOURCE) key is at [TEXT LTC], SALVE and
DIRECT are displayed.
SLAVE: Generator locks to external LTC time code.
(When there is no external input, E-TC time data
blinks. )
DIRECT: External LTC time code is recorded as is.
(When there is no external input, E-TC: ¢¢:¢¢:
¢¢:¢¢are displayed.)
≥When the F1 key is at [S VITC], [S LTC] or [EXT VITC], this key
is not displayed.
In this case, the generator value typically locks to external VITC
or LTC time code.
ON: User bit locks to user bit value read by reader (TCR) or to
external user bit value, and cannot be set.
OFF: Generator does not lock to value read out by reader. User
bit value can be set freely.
REC RUN: Runs the TC only while recording is in progress.
FREE RUN: Runs the TC all the time in the same way as a
clock.
Valid only when the F1 (SOURCE) key selects [INT].
ON: Drop frame mode is set.
OFF: Non-drop frame mode is set.
≥When [EXT LTC], [S VITC] or [S LTC] is selected in the F1
key, the VTR conforms to drop/non-drop frame mode of
external time code.
