To synchronize the internal time code
generator to an external signal
Use this method to synchronize the time code
generators of a number of VTRs, or to record the
playback time code signal from an external VTR
without deterioration of the signal waveform.
In this case the settings of the FREE RUN/REC RUN
switch and DF/NDF switch are ignored.
You can synchronize the internal time code generator
to either of the following external time codes.
• The time code output (LTC) of an external time code
generator or external VTR connected to the TIME
CODE IN connector of the unit
• The time code (VITC) present in a video signal input
to the unit
To synchronize the internal time code generator to an
external signal, use the following procedure.

• When synchronizing to an external time code
output (LTC)
Connect the time code output of the external time
code generator or external VTR to the TIME
CODE IN connector.
• When synchronizing to the time code (VITC) in
an input video signal
With the VIDEO INPUT SELECT switch, select
an input video signal containing VITC.

Set the switches as follows:
INT/EXT switch: EXT
PRESET/REGEN switch: REGEN
VITC switch: ON (when recording VITC)
TC switch: LTC or VITC according as you are
synchronizing to LTC or VITC (If set to
AUTO, LTC is used.)
This starts the internal time code generator running
in synchronization with the external time code
generator.
Once the internal time code generator is
synchronized with the external time code
generator, even if the external time code generator
connection is removed, the internal time code
generator continues to run.
To record an external time code without
modification
Using this method has no effect on the running of the
internal time code generator.
To record the playback time code from an external
VTR, the method under the heading above, "To
synchronize the internal time code generator to an
external signal," is recommended.
