Setting Timecode
Chapter 3 Preparations
When REF is selected for the sync signal
If an external reference video signal is not being input, the
unit does not synchronize with an external sync signal. The
servo reference signal synchronizes with the output of the
reference video signal generator.
3-6 Setting Timecode
There are three ways to record timecodes. You can select
the recording method with TCG (INT/EXT/SDI) and
PRST/RGN (PRESET/LTC/VITC) on the P4 TC page of
the function menu.
Settings for RUN (REC/FREE) and DF (DF/NDF) on the
P4 TC page of the function menu are required in addition
to the settings for TCG and PRST/RGN.
For details on settings on the function menu, see “3-7
Basic Operations of the Function Menu” on page 31.
