To synchronize the internal timecode generator
to external timecode
Use the following method to synchronize the timecode
generators of multiple VTRs.
Set the TCG MODE menu item to RGN, then use
REGENE SOURCE to select the signal which the
timecode generator should regenerate (see "To select
timecode to record" (page 68)).
To record user bits
By setting user bits, you can record up to eight
hexadecimal digits of information (date, time, etc.) in
timecode tracks.
To record user bits after setting an arbitrary value
Set Others (MAIN) >RT REC to OFF.
To initialize user bits to an arbitrary value, set the TCG
SET (MAIN) >UBG SOURCE menu item to INT. (The
TCG MODE menu item can be set to any value.)
Alternatively, set the TCG MODE menu item to PRSET.
The TCG SET (MAIN) >UBG SOURCE menu item can
be set to any value (see "To select user bits to record"
(page 68)).
To set the user bit value, proceed as described in "To preset
an arbitrary initial timecode value". As with timecode, all
digits in user bit values can be set to 0 by using the TIMER
RESET menu item.
To record real time in user bits
Select the recording method with Others (MAIN) > RT
REC (VITC only, both VITC and LTC, or LTC only).
Regardless of the setting of TCG SET (MAIN) >UBG
SOURCE, real time is recorded in the specified location.
To set the real time to record, proceed as follows.
1
Rotate the SELECT/ENTER dial to select RT SET,
and press the SELECT/ENTER dial.
The real time setting window appears.
2
Rotate the SELECT/ENTER dial to move the cursor to
the digit you want to change, and press the dial.
3
Rotate the SELECT/ENTER dial to change the value
of the selected digit, and press the dial.
4
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the desired value is
displayed.
5
Rotate the SELECT/ENTER dial to move the cursor to
SET, and press the SELECT/ENTER dial.
