Time Code; Recording From Themiddle Ofa Tape - JVC GR-DV900 Instructions Manual

EN19
Time Code
During recording, a time code is recorded on the
tape. This code is to confirm the location of the
recorded scene on the tape during playback.
If recording starts from a blank portion, the time
code begins counting from "00:00:00"
(minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the
end of a previously recorded scene, the time code
continues from the last time code number.
To perform Random Assemble Editing (I_ pg, 60
65), time code is necessary. If during recording a
blank portion is left partway through the tape, the
time code is interrupted. Whe_l recording is
resumed, the time code starts counting up again
from "00:00:00". This means the camcorder may
record the same time codes as those existing in a
previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform
"Recording From The Middle Of A Tape" (r_* pg. I9)
in the following cases;
• When shooting again after playing back a
recorded tape.
• When power shuts off during shooting.
• When a tape is removed and re-inserted during
shooting.
• When shooting using a partially recorded tape.
• When shooting on a blank portion located
partway through the tape.
• When shooting again after shooting a scene then
opening/closing the cassette holder cover.
Display Framesare not displayed
