internal timecode generator, set beforehand to an
initial value. The following run modes can be
selected.
• Free Run: Timecode advances continually.
• Rec Run: Timecode advances only during
recording.
System TC (system timecode) mode: This records the
output of the internal timecode generator,
synchronized to a broadcast station reference
timecode signal input to the SYSTEM TC INPUT
connector.
External Regen (regenerate) mode: This records the
output of the internal timecode generator,
synchronized to an external timecode generator. As
the external input, the timecode signal input to any of
the following connectors can be selected.
• TIME CODE IN connector: LTC

External Preset mode: This directly records the input of
