4-5-7 CTL Count Setting and Display

By setting the DISPLAY switch to "CTL", CTL count is displayed
on the time count indication of the LCD display window.
CTL count is displayed in ±12 hours.
The playback order of clips recorded on a P2 card is not linear
as for VTRs. It is organized according to thumbnail operations or
exchanging P2 cards, and the priority of recorded clips will be
altered. Therefore, different CTL counts are displayed for
recording mode and playback mode, respectively.
CTL count for recording mode (recording CTL)
Recording CTL count is displayed during recording mode (REC,
REC/PAUSE, STOP and REC REVIEW), and the count
continues from the end point of the previous recording.
Recording CTL count is retained even if the power is turned off.
When the power is next turned on, the count continues from the
previous value.
<Note>
If the RESET button is pressed while the recording CTL count is
being displayed, only the recording CTL count is reset. Note that
reset is disabled during the REC REVIEW operation.
CTL count for the playback mode (playback CTL)
During playback mode (PLAY, FF, REW, PLAY/PAUSE), playback
CTL count is displayed.
Whenever the playback order of clips is altered (clips are sorted
by shooting dates), previous playback CTL count is disabled.
The first frame of the first clip is used as a reference value for
recalculation, and the new playback CTL count is displayed.
Example:
First frame
Clip 1
00:00:00:00 00:01:00:00
Delete Clip 2.
Clip 1
00:00:00:00 00:01:00:00
The playback order of clips is altered when either of the following
occurs:
Clips are deleted, copied or restored, or the P2 card is
formatted.
The thumbnail display is switched (for more information, see
[6-5 Switching the Thumbnail Display]).
A P2 card is inserted or removed.
Current value
Clip 2 Clip 3
00:02:00:00 00:03:00:00
Current value
Clip 3

The reference value (value of the first frame of the first clip) is
changed when either of the following occurs:
The power is turned on, the first frame becomes 0.
When the playback CTL count is reset, the current playback
position is set as 0, and the previous reference value becomes
a negative value.
Example:
First frame
Clip 1
00:00:00:00 00:01:00:00
First frame
Clip 1
–00:03:00:00 –00:02:00:00
<Note>
If the RESET button is pressed while the playback CTL count is
being displayed, only the playback CTL count is reset.
