To check the synchronization to the external signal
2
Set switches on the subsidiary control panel as follows.
TC SELECT switch: TC or VITC according as you are
synchronizing to TC or VITC
NT/EXT–PRESET/REGEN switch: EXT–REGEN (left position)
VITC switch: ON (when recording VITC)
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.
Note
When the input mode is V:SDTI, SDTI or i.LINK (the V:SDTI, SDTI or
i.LINK indicator is lit in the input selection/audio mode display section),
then setting the INT/EXT PRESET/REGEN switch to EXT REGEN
automatically synchronizes the internal time code generator to the time
code transferred through the SDTI(QSDI) INPUT connector or i.LINK
connector (when fitted with the optional DSBK-190).
Note that when the INT/EXT PRESET/REGEN switch is set to EXT
REGEN, the advance mode and frame count mode (DSR-2000 only) are
automatically set as follows.
Advance mode: free running
Frame count mode (DSR-2000 only): the same as the external time
code signal (drop frame or non-drop frame)
Press the STOP button to stop this unit, then press the REC button.
Watch the time counter display, and check that the values displayed
coincide with the external time code values.
