Recording timecode to
continue from previously
recorded timecode (Regen
mode)
When the recording format of this unit is set
to be the same as on the SxS memory card,
you can record timecode consecutively
from the timecode already recorded.
To do this, set "Mode" in the "Timecode"
setting of the TC/UB SET menu to
"Regen". When recording starts, the
timecode on the memory card is read, and
this unit internally generates and records
continuing timecode.
Synchronizing the internal
timecode generator to an
external timecode
—External synchronization
(Ext regen mode)
You can synchronize the internal TC
generator to an external timecode
(embedded in the HDSDI signal input to the
HD SDI INPUT connector). Use this
method when synchronizing the timecode
generators of multiple recorders, when
recording the playback timecode of an
external VCR, or when you want to record
without interfering with the timecode
relation of a source image.
