CTL counter setting and display

When the <DISPLAY> switch is set to <CTL>, the CTL counter value appears in the time counter display in the status display. The counter value is ±12-
hour display. Besides the time code, drop frame and non-drop frame can be set in the main menu → [REC/PB] → [TC/UB] → [DF MODE]. The playback
order of clips recorded to P2 cards is not linear such as with VTR. Each time that thumbnail operation is performed or that some of the P2 cards are
re-inserted, the counter value will be re-organized and the positioning of the clips recorded so far will change. Accordingly, in the recording and playback
modes, separate counter values are displayed.
CTL counter in the recording mode (recording CTL)
In the recording mode (record, recording pause, stop, and recording check), the recording CTL counter value is displayed and counting is performed
continuously from the previous recording end point. The CTL counter value is held even if the camera is turned off. Counting is continued from the
previous value when the camera is next turned on.
@
NOTE
t If the <RESET> button is pressed while the recording CTL counter value is displayed, only the recording CTL counter value is reset. Note, however,
that the counter value cannot be reset during a recording check.
t In 24PN mode, the counter counts every 24 frames.

In the playback mode (playback, fast-forward, cue, playback paused), the playback CTL counter value is displayed. For the playback CTL counter
value, each time that the playback order of the clip is changed (clip is sorted in recording date and time order), the playback CTL counter value so far is
disabled, and is re-calculated referenced to the start frame of the initial clip and displayed again. (Fig. 1)
The clip playback order is changed in the following cases:
f When a clip is deleted, copied or repaired, or a P2 card is formatted
f When the thumbnail display is switched (For details, refer to "Thumbnail screen display settings" (page 131).)
f When a P2 card is inserted or removed
The reference value (value of start frame of initial clip) is changed in the following cases:
f When the power is turned on or all P2 cards are removed, the top frame becomes 0.
f When the playback CTL counter value is reset, the current playback position is taken as 0, and the location that was the reference location becomes a
minus number value. (Fig. 2)
@
NOTE
t If the <RESET> button is pressed while the playback CTL counter value is displayed, only the playback CTL counter value is reset.
t In 24PN mode playback, the counter counts every 30 frames to match the pull-down images.
