TC OUT
To the timecode
input of the other
unit
The timecode to be output from the TC OUT
connector depends on the setting of "TC Out" on
the TC/UB SET menu. If "TC Out" is set to
"Generator," the timecode generated by the
timecode generator of the camcorder is output
during recording and playback. If "TC Out" is set
to "Auto," the timecode generated by the
timecode generator is output during recording,
and that superimposed with the video signal is
output during playback.
