Setting the Time Code
Setting the Time Code and User Bits
The unit can set, display, record and play back the time
code and user bits.
Notes
• When HDV signals are recorded from HDV/DV
jack on the unit, user bits are copied automatically.
However, these bits cannot be preset. The time code
is set in accordance with [TC MAKE] setting. To
copy the time code of a source tape, set [HDV/DV IN
TC] in [TC/UB SET] menu to [EXTERNAL]
(page 76).
• When images recorded in DVCAM/DV format are
input via
HDV/DV jack, you can preset a user bit
time code on the unit. To copy the user bit and time
code of a source tape, use [DUPLICATE PLUS]
(page 74).
• For a tape recorded both in HDV and DVCAM/DV
formats, the time code may become garbled at a
connecting portion between scenes on the tape.
• If you play back an HDV tape without signals
recorded, the time cord may become disordered.
• The time code and user bits cannot be reset on the
unit from with Remote Commander equipped with a
counter reset function.
Using the Internal Time Code
Generator
You can set the initial time code value generated by
the internal time code generator. In addition, you can
set the user bits to record data such as the date, time,
scene number, reel number, or other useful
information. The time data settings are set by using the
menu.
For details on the menu, see “Chapter 5 Adjusting and
Setting Through Menus” on page 65.
