Time Code Signal Output

The time code will be output from the TIME CODE terminal as an SMPTE-standard LTC timing signal. The user
bit will also be output. Before connecting the device, set [¤ TC/UB Setup] > [Time Code] > [TC In/Out] to
[Out] to change the TIME CODE terminal to output (A 89). The embedded time code will be output from the
3G-SDI terminals, MON. terminals and HD/SD SDI terminal.

NOTES
• The user bit of the time code signal is output while the camera is recording in
of a clip recorded on a CF card in
[23.98P] and the [¤ TC/UB Setup] > [User Bit] > [Output Mode] setting is set to [Pulldown], the user bit
will be 2:3 pulldown data. In other words, when a 23.98P recording is output from the HD/SD SDI terminal, the
signal is converted to 59.94i using the 2:3 pulldown method. An external device can receive the data used in
this conversion (2:3 pulldown data) to convert the signal to the original 23.98P specifications.
