6. LED Time Code Display
This 7-segment, multifunction LED is the
USD time code and parameter display.
Time Code The current positional refer-
ence (internal or external), is displayed in
hours:minutes:seconds:frames. Decimal
points indicate additional time code infor-
mation:
• Odd/even field distinction is indicated
using a decimal point to the right of the
frames display. A lit decimal point to the
right of frames indicates an even-num-
bered field; no decimal point indicates
odd-numbered.
• When the USD is in Auto Switch
LTC/VITC mode, the decimal point to
the right of "minutes" illuminates.
Parameters and Values When configuring
the USD with the Set, Run/Stop and other
parameter controls, the LED display shows
parameter names, values, and other data.
For a table identifying each LED abbrevia-
tion and function, see "Parameters" on
page 55.
