Major Functions

Recording external time code (LTC)
External time code (LTC) applied to the TIME CODE connector can be
converted to the IEC time code (consisting of PRO R-TIME time code and PRO
binary), which is the standard format for professional DAT time code
recording, and then recorded.
<NOTE 1>
In a D-15 installed with this card, 24 and 25 fps time codes can be
automatically discriminated and recorded but 29.97 and 30 fps cannot be
discriminated. Consequently, if recording 29.97 or 30 fps time codes are to
be recorded, the D-15 must be setup matched with the time code which is
recorded by the Model 8335 SETUP menu "411 -***."
<NOTE 2>
Time code (LTC) can be recorded only during recording of audio signals
(or no sound recording) and time code cannot be recorded individually.
Also, if audio insert is carried out, time code of that section will be erased.
Refer to page [16] for time code recording and page [13] for SETUP menu "411 -***."
Conversion and output of A-TIME/IEC time code to LTC
When A-TIME or IEC time code is recorded on tape, it can be converted to
LTC and output from the TIME CODE OUT connector.
The frame rate and format of the time code (LTC) to be output can be
randomly set by the SETUP mode.
Refer to page [18] for time code playback and page [11] ~ [12] for the SETUP mode.
Chase by external time code (LTC) is possible (At PLAYBACK only)
Time code chase against externally input time code is possible.
In this case, the chase mode selecting and external sync signal selecting is set
by the SETUP mode.
Refer to page [19] for chase synchronizing and page [15] for the SETUP mode.
Phase modifying operation by WORD IN, VIDEO IN, AES/EBU IN is also possible
Phase modifying operation by the external sync signal (WORD, VIDEO, AES/
EBU) is possible with the 8335 installed.
External sync signal selecting can be set by the SETUP mode.
Refer to page [21] for details on phase modifying operation by an external sync signal
and page [15] for the SETUP mode.
Time locate/memory edit by TC is possible
In addition to time locate/memory edit by A-TIME, time locate/memory edit
by TC time will be possible.
