To record timecode
You can use either of the following methods to
record timecode.
• Initialize the internal timecode generator with
an arbitrary initial value, and record the output
of the timecode generator.
• Record the output of the internal timecode
generator synchronized with external timecode
or timecode recorded in the longitudinal
direction on the tape.
To preset an arbitrary initial timecode value
Set the TCG MODE menu item to PRST, then
proceed as follows.
1
Select TIMER PRESET >TCG TC.
A preset value setting screen appears.
2
Turn the SELECT/ENTER dial to
select the digit that you want to modify,
then press the dial.
3
Turn the SELECT/ENTER dial to
modify the value of the selected digit,
then press the dial.
4
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the values of
all digits.
Cursor
5
Turn the SELECT/ENTER dial to
move the cursor to SET, then press the
dial.
If RUN MODE is set to F RUN, the timecode
starts advancing immediately.
To set all digits to 0
Reset the timecode value with the TIMER
RESET menu item.
To synchronize the internal timecode generator
to external timecode
Use the following method to synchronize the
timecode generators of multiple camcorder.
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 80)).
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
PRST. The TCG SET (MAIN) >UBG SOURCE
menu item can be set to any value (see "To select
user bits to record" (page 80)).
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
Turn the SELECT/ENTER dial to
select RT SET, and press the SELECT/
ENTER dial.
The real time setting window appears.
