1) LTC and VITC
LTC cannot be read when the tape speed is very slow or
is changed suddenly. VITC, on the other hand, can be
read more accurately than LTC when the VTR is stopped
or the tape speed is very low. VITC, however, cannot be
read when the tape speed is very fast.
Function
Specifies superimposition of character information
to the HD SDI output and HD-SD converter output.
Changes the superimposition position (horizontal).
Changes the superimposition position (vertical).
Selects the VITC insertion line in the HD-SD
converter output.
Time data type
1)
The LTC value read by the
time code reader during
playback.
The VITC 1) value read by the
time code reader during
playback.
The value generated by the
time code generator during
recording.
The number of CTL signals 2)
on the tape during recording/
playing.
3)
The user bits value read by
the time code reader (LTC)
during playback.
The user bits value read by the
time code reader (VITC) during
playback.
The user bits value generated
by the time code generator
during recording.
Appears whenever a duration
between any two edit points
(IN, OUT, AUDIO IN or AUDIO
OUT points) is displayed.

Selecting the time data display
Press the [F1] (TIMER SEL) button repeatedly to
select the desired time data display.
CTL: Counts the CTL signals on the playback tape
or the CTL signals being recorded on the tape, and
displays the tape running time in hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames.
TC: Displays the value read by the time code reader
or the value generated by the time code generator.
To switch between VITC and LTC, press the [F5]
(TCR SEL) button.
UBIT: Displays user bits data inserted in time code
being played back, or the user bits data inserted in
time code being recorded. To switch between
VITC and LTC, press the [F5] (TCR SEL) button.
2) CTL signals
CTL (control) signals are pulse signals that are recorded
horizontally in each frame.
3) User bits
Comprising a part of the time code, user bits record
supplementary information and consist of an eight-digit
number or hexadecimal A to F.
