4-3-3 Setting the Time Code
Generator (TCG SOURCE/MODE)
There are two ways to record time codes on the VTR.
One way is to record the output of the VTR's internal
time code generator. The other is to directly record
time codes that are input from an external time code
generator.
The output from the internal time code generator can
either be set to a specified initial value, or
synchronized with an external time code generator.
The internal time code generator time code settings are
made with the [F6] (REGENE SOURCE)/[F7] (TCG
MODE) buttons. Menu selections and settings are
shown below.
