Setting the Time Data
Chapter 3 Convenient Functions for Editing Operation
2
Set the TIME CODE menu items (see page 68) as
shown below.
3
Press the TC PRESET button in the menu control
section.
The current setting is shown on the monitor screen and
in the time counter display on the front panel. The
leftmost digit keeps flashing.
One of the following menu screens is displayed on the
monitor depending on the setting made in step 1
.
Note
If you press the TC PRESET button while CNT value
is being displayed, the message “COUNTER MODE
IS SELECTED.” will appear on the monitor screen
and “CNT mode!” will appear in the time counter
display on the front panel. If this happens, press the
COUNTER SELECT button to light the time data type
indicator “TC” or “U-BIT.”
4
Use the g and G buttons to move the flashing digit to
the value to be changed.
5
Use the f and F buttons to change the value of the
flashing digit.
Enter hexadecimal values (0 to 9, A to F) when setting
user bit data.
6
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have set the desired
values for all digits.
To set a value of 00:00:00:00, simply press the RESET
(NO) button.
7
Press the SET (YES) button.
The message “NOW SAVING...” appears on the
monitor screen, “Saving...” appears in the time counter
display, and the new settings are stored in memory.
After this saving operation is completed, the monitor
screen and the time counter display return to their
usual status.
Note
The set data may be lost if you power off the unit while
the above saving operation is in progress. Wait until
the saving operation is completed before powering off.
Advancement of internal time code
generator
The internal time code generator can advance in either of
two modes, which can be set with the RUN MODE menu
item (see page 68).
FREE RUN: Advancement starts when the data saving
operation is completed.
REC RUN: Advancement starts when recording starts and
stops when recording stops.
To set the current time as the initial time
code value
In step 2 above, set the RUN MODE menu item to FREE
RUN, then set the current time (format: HH:MM:SS:FF =
hours: minutes:seconds:frame number) in step 3 and
subsequent steps.
Synchronizing Internal and External
Time Codes
The internal time code generator can be synchronized with
an external time code (LTC) input to this unit.
To synchronize the internal time code to
external time code
Input an external time code (LTC) signal to the TC IN
connector, then set the TC MODE menu item (see page
68) to EXT REGEN.
The internal time code generator locks onto the external
time code and starts advancing. Once the internal time
code generator has been synchronized in this way, you can
disconnect the external time code input and this unit will
maintain the synchronized time code.
Note
When the selected input mode is “SDTI” or “i.LINK” (the
SDTI or i.LINK indicator is lit in the INPUT signal display
section), setting the TC MODE menu item to EXT
REGEN causes the internal time code generator to
