Setting The Time Code And User Bits - Sony DSR-45 Service Manual

3
Change SETUP menu item 301 (302) [401 as
player 1, 402 as player 2] from BYTE 01 to BYTE
10, and calculate the adjustment value.
How to calculate the adjustment value
If the actual IN point shifts forward to the IN point
preset on the player;
IN point
OUT point
Preset editing points
Adjustment value
Actual editing points
IN point OUT point
08 (default setting) + number of frames obtained in
step 2
Example: To adjust 5 frames
08 + 05 = 0D
The adjustment value is calculated in hexadecimal.
If the actual IN point shifts backward to the IN
point preset on the player;
IN point OUT point
Preset editing points
Adjustment value
Actual editing points
IN point OUT point
08 (default setting) – number of frames obtained in
step 2
Example: To adjust 5 frames
08 – 05 = 03
4
Perform a trial editing process and confirm the
results of the adjustment.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the best possible result
is obtained.

set to FF/REW when the unit rewinds or fast-
forwards the tape, the time code may not be displayed
on the editing controller. In this case, set FF/REW
SPD to SHUTTLEMAX.
For details on FF/REW SPD, see page 90 (GB).
• When editing, use a time code.
• Depending on the type of device you are using as a
recorder, the actual edited point may not accurately
coincide with the preset editing point. In this case,
adjust the VCR device constants of the editing
controller (CONST8 (Start Delay) in BYTE-2 in
BLOCK-2).
Using this unit as a player with the BVE-
2000
1
Set SYNC GRADE (synchronous accuracy) in the

Setting the Time Code and User Bits

Setting the Time Code and User Bits
This unit can set, display, record and play back the
time code and user bits. The unit can also output the
time code read from the tape as an analog (LTC) signal
when it is played back at normal speed, and receive an
external analog time code (LTC) signal.
Note
The items other than JOG TC OUT on the TC/UB SET
menu can be set only when you record in DVCAM
format.
Using the Internal Time Code
Generator
You can set the initial time code value generated by
the internal time code generator. In addition, you can
set the user bits to record data such as the date, time,
scene number, reel number, or other useful
information. The time data settings are set by using the
menu.
For details on the menu, see "Chapter 6 Adjusting and
Setting Through Menus" on page 76 (GB).
To set the initial time code value

To select the time code/user bits to be
recorded on the tape
You can set the time code and user bits to be recorded
on the tape by setting TC/UB IN on the TC/UB SET
menu.
INTERNAL: Uses the internal time code/user bits.
TC&UB EXT: Uses the external time code/user bits.
TC EXT: Uses the external time code and internal
user bits.
UB EXT: Uses the internal time code and external
user bits.
Notes
• This unit has a DV jack. The time code input or
output is different when you connect the unit to an
external device via this DV jack or via another input/
output connector.
For details, see "DSR-45/45P time codes" on page 63
(GB).
• The time code output from this unit has some
restrictions.
For details, see "Notes on the Time Codes" on page 64
(GB).
To select the time code to be recorded
when DV signals are recorded in DVCAM
format
Set DV IN TC on the TC/UB SET menu to select
whether to record the internal time code or an external
one.
INTERNAL: Records the time code internally
generated.
EXTERNAL: Records the time code with video and
audio signals input via the DV jack.
RETURN, then
Notes
• When this item is set to EXTERNAL, the setting of
TC/UB IN on the TC/UB SET menu turns to invalid.
The time code input via the DV jack and the user bits
set in UB PRESET are recorded.
• When you set REC MODE on the VTR SET menu to
DV SP, this item cannot be used. Even if this item is
set to EXTERNAL, when you set REC MODE on the
VTR SET menu to DV SP, the setting becomes
invalid and the unit records the internal time code.
