2 Perform the following settings in function menu
page 1.
•When synchronizing to an external time code
output (LTC) or the time code (VITC) in an input
video signal:
TCG (F1): EXT
TCG (F2): REGEN
VITC: ON (when recording VITC)
TCR: LTC or VITC according as you are
synchronizing to LTC or VITC (If set to
AUTO, LTC is used.)
•When synchronizing to the time code (SMPTE
RP188) in an SDI signal:
TCG (F1): RP188
TCG (F2), VITC, TCR: Any setting
Note
When the TCG (F1) is set to RP188, when settings
of the TCG (F1) and VID.IN conflict with each
other, or when the input signal selected with the
VID.IN is not present, the
TCG (F1) setting display flashes.
This starts the internal time code generator running
in synchronization with the external time code
generator.
Once the internal time code generator is
synchronized with the external time code
generator, even if the external time code generator
connection is removed, the internal time code
generator continues to run.
To synchronize the internal time code
generator to an external signal
Use this method to synchronize the time code
generators of a number of VTRs, or to record the
playback time code signal from an external VTR
without deterioration of the signal waveform.
In this case the RUN and DF settings are ignored.
You can synchronize the internal time code generator
to either of the following external time codes.
• The time code output (LTC) of an external time code
generator or external VTR connected to the TIME
CODE IN connector of the unit
• The time code (VITC) present in a video signal input
to the unit
• The time code (SMPTE RP188) present in an SDI
signal input to the unit
To synchronize the internal time code generator to an
external signal, use the following procedure.
1 •When synchronizing to an external time code
output (LTC):
Connect the time code output of the external time
code generator or external VTR to the TIME
CODE IN connector.
•When synchronizing to the time code (VITC) in
an input video signal:
With the VID.IN in function menu HOME page,
select an input video signal containing VITC.
•When synchronizing to the time code (SMPTE
RP188) in an SDI signal:
With the VID.IN in function menu HOME page,
select SDI.
