extended menu item 626 "TC MODE" to "ext regen"
automatically synchronizes the internal time code
generator to the time code received through the S400
(i.LINK) connector or SDI IN connector.
• When extended menu item 626 "TC MODE" is set to
"ext regen," the internal time code advance mode and
frame count mode (for 525 line mode only) are
automatically set as follows.
Advance mode: free running
Frame count mode (for 525 line mode only): the same
as the external time code signal (drop frame or non-
drop frame)
To check the synchronization to the external
signal
Press the STOP button to stop this unit, then press the REC
button.
Check that the time code value shown in the time data
display coincides with the external time code value.
To record external time code directly
You can record both of the following types of external time
code directly.
• TC input to the TIME CODE IN connector of this unit
• i.LINK TC input to the S400 (i.LINK) connector of
this unit
When you use this method, the internal time code
generator advances without being affected by the external
time code.
To record the playback time code of external VTRs, the
methods described above in "To record with the internal
time code generator synchronized to external time code"
are recommended.
Use the following procedure to record external time code
directly, according to the type of external time code.
