Setting the time data

Setting the time code

1
Set the DISPLAY switch to TC.
2
Set the TCG switch to SET.
3
Switch the TC MODE to DF or NDF on the TC/UB
screen of VTR MENU.
Select DF to run the time code in the drop frame
mode or select NDF to run the time code in the
non-drop frame mode.
4
Set the time code using the SHIFT button, "+"
button and "–" button.
SHIFT button:
This is used to start the digit to be set flashing.
Each time it is pressed, the flashing moves by
one digit to the right.
"+" button:
This increments by 1 the numerical value of the
flashing digit.
"–" button:
This decrements by 1 the numerical value of the
flashing digit.
5
Select the TCG switch position.
Select F-RUN for running the time code in the free-
run mode or select R-RUN for running it in the rec-
run mode.
6
Set the number of frames per seconds (24, 25 or
30) displayed in the frame digits of the time code
using the TC DISP SEL item on the TC/UB screen
of VTR MENU.
The time code is converted to the number of
frames which has been set here, and displayed.
<Notes>
O When the frame rate is set to 24 fps, this unit will
perform the processing in the non-drop frame mode
in order to maintain the continuity of the frames
even when the time code has been set to the drop
frame mode.
Furthermore, when the frame rate has been set to
24 fps, it will not be possible to set the time code
while recording is in progress since the images will
be disturbed if the advancing of the time code is
discontinuous.
O When the frame frequency has been set to 60.00
Hz, the unit always performs the processing in the
non-drop frame mode.

ON, the backup accuracy of the time code is
approximately ±2 frames.
