Sony Digital Betacam DVW-700 Operation Manual page 46

PRESET : Starts recording time code values on the tape from the
currently set value.
REGEN : Reads the existing time code on the tape, and sets the time
code starting value accordingly. Thus, even when there is an indefinite
break in recording, this setting ensures that time codes on the tape will
be continuous. Regardless of the setting of the F-RUN / R-RUN
switch, in this position the camcorder is always in R-RUN mode.
!¡ F-RUN / R-RUN (free run / recording run) switch
This switch selects the operating mode of the internal time code
generator.
F-RUN : The time code advances regardless of whether the VTR is
operating. Use this position for setting the real-time time code or for
synchronizing the time code with an external time code.
SET : Set the switch to this position to set the time code or user bits.
R-RUN : The time code advances only during recording, making the
time code on the tape continuous.
For more information, see Section 4-5-1 "Setting the User Bits" (page 4-25), and
Section 4-5-2 "Setting the Time Code" (page 4-27).
!™ DF / NDF (drop frame / non-drop frame) switch (DVW-700 only)
This switch selects whether the time code advances in drop frame mode
or non-drop frame mode.
DF : Drop frame mode
NDF : Non-drop frame mode
!£ REAL TIME (time of the day) switch
This switch is used to select whether the real time is put into the VITC
user bits or to set the real time.
ON : The real time is put into the VITC user bits.
OFF : The real time is not put into the VITC user bits.
SET : Set the switch to this position to set the real time.
