Setting the Time Code

Setting the Time Code
The camcorder generates a time code signal and records it with the recorded clips. The time code
signal can be output from the SDI OUT terminal (s only) and HDMI OUT terminal.
Depending on the frame rate used, you may be able to select between a drop frame an non-drop
frame time code signal (A 66). Though the time code display style is different for DF and NDF, in this
section the NDF display style is used for simplicity's sake.
