Time Data

Setting the Timecode
Specify the timecode to be recorded with
[Timecode] and [TC Format] in the [TC/UB SET]
menu (page 53). The following methods are
available for recording the timecode.
Preset mode (Preset)
Records an internally generated timecode with a
preset initial value. You can select one of the
following run modes.
• Free Run: Timecode is always running.
• Rec Run: Timecode runs only when recording.
Regeneration mode (Regen)
Records an internally generated timecode that
continues from the timecode of the last recorded
clip.
External regeneration mode (ExtRegen)
Records an internally generated timecode that is
synchronized to the timecode superimposed on an
external input signal. If a timecode is not
superimposed on an input SDI signal, the value of
the internal timecode generator is used as the
initial value.
Setting the Users Bit
You can add a hexadecimal number of 8 digits for
pictures as the user bits.
The user bits can also be set to the current date.
Use [Users Bit] (page 53) in the [TC/UB SET]
menu.

HDMI, VIDEO OUT, and i.LINK connectors.
[Normal] mode: The same video as that
displayed on the LCD monitor is output.
[Through] mode: The SDI IN input signal is
always output, regardless of the operating state.
[Auto] mode: The playback video is output
during playback operations on the recorder
(PLAY/PAUSE, F FWD, F REV). In all other
cases, the SDI IN input signal is output.
In Auto mode, [SDI/HDMI/Video Out Super]
(page 51) in the [VIDEO SET] menu is set to
[Off], and no character information is output.
