Notes
–
• You can start recording at frame 0 or frame 5 of the time code.
Therefore, when setting the time code or recording in backspace
editing mode, the value of the least significant digit is limited to 0
or 5.
• There will be noise on the recorded image if you change the
operating mode for the internal time code generator using the F-
RUN/SET/R-RUN switch under the AUDIO adjustment cover while
recording.
• The video and audio signal and time code output via i.LINK may
not be consecutive when recording starts.
Notes on 2-3 pulldown
• When dropframe time code is input via the TC IN connector, this
unit operates in DF mode and synchronization of the pulldown
picture and the time code is disabled. This setting will continue in
effect until the time code setting (F-RUN/R-RUN or DF/NDF) is
changed.
• When the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch under the AUDIO
adjustment cover is set to CLOCK, this unit operates in DF mode.
The synchronization of the time code and the pulled down image
is disabled.
Notes on 2-3-3-2 pulldown
• When the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch under the AUDIO
adjustment cover is set to CLOCK, the time code is synchronized
to the internal clock, and this unit operates in F-RUN and NDF
mode.
• When drop frame time code is input to the TC IN connector, this
unit does not operate sychronized to that time code.

After reading from the CCDs in 24P mode (23.98 frames per second),
a pull down conversion is carried out to the 30 frames (29.97 frames
per second) of the normal progressive scan mode.
