Recording IRIG-B Time Code Signal
When an IRIG-B time code signal is input to the recording unit in each mode of the E-E, REC-PAUSE or in
the STOP mode and then detected properly, the input state is displayed in the status display area of the LCD
screen. When it is synchronized with the real-time clock inside the recording unit, the IRIG-B timecode is
loaded to the real-time clock.
When recording starts, the IRIG-B time code signal input to the AUX analog channel is recorded on the
recording media along with the main data.
Also, the recording units real-time clock to which the IRIG time has been loaded changes to the S-TIME
(xxxxYxxMxxD/xxHxxMxxS), and is recorded on the recording unit along with the main data. This
information can be used as accurate position data for search, playback and data transfer.
n
. Being properly detected, the 3-digit date (001 to 366) of the IRIG-B time code data is converted to
_YxxMxxD (normal year) and combined with the year value xxxxY of the recording unit's real-time
clock at the time or recording to form the S-TIME information (xxxxYxxMxxD).
. When the IRIG time has been loaded to the real-time clock, the clock proceeds at crystal accuracy when
the IRIG-B time code signal is removed.
. IRIG time code can input the clock signal irrespective of any mode setting status such as E-E or STOP
mode, when the signal is detected correctly, the internal clock is updated.
. When the input status is not displayed on the LCD screen, the clock information for the IRIG-B time code
is not recorded.
Playback IRIG-B Time Code Signal
When a recording media recorded with an IRIG-B time code signal in the AUX-2 (IRIG) channel is played
back, the input state at recording is displayed in the status display area of the LCD screen.
Further, the raw IRIG-B time code signal recorded on the recording media can be output from the AUX-2
(IRIG-B) OUT connector on the rear panel, and can be read by an IRIG time code reader.
For the R-TIME information in the recording media position display area during playback, the recording
unit's real-time clock value (xxYxxMxxD/xxHxxMxxS) recorded on the recording media is displayed. This
value corresponds to the IRIG time recorded on the recording media.
