TIME DISPLAY
NOTE 1: It must be said that some of the latter options are for use in very specialised
applications. You will know if they are useful for you. The normal selection made is 24, 25,
29.97 or 30fps. Those working in film or cartoons may like to use other display styles.
NOTE 2: The selected TIME DISPLAY is ONLY shown on the external monitor. The
DL1500's timecode display always displays the timecode type selected in the EXT. TIME
SOURCE field.

Version 2.00 - March, 1996
This allows you to set the type of timecode you wish the
DD1500 to display. Normally, this is the same as the
timecode type selected in the EXT. TIME SOURCE field
(and the DD1500 will take care of this automatically) but
you may choose to view another time display if you wish.
The selections are:

automatically selected to be the same as the timecode
