Timecode

• Supported timecode
See "Main specifications" (p. 30)
• TC input priority order
VITC and LTC ancillary timecode (SMPTE RP 188) is supported for HD-SDI.
For SD-SDI, digital timecode (SMPTE 266M DVITC) is also supported in addition to the above
two.
Since only one of these timecodes can converted into the output signal from the IEEE 1394
connector, they are used in the following priority order.
For HD-SDI (1080i/720p)
SMPTE RP 188 VITC is detected > use SMPTE RP 188 VITC
>
(undetected)
>
SMPTE RP 188 LTC is detected > use SMPTE RP 188 LTC
>
(undetected)
>
Use free-run of internal timecode generator
For SD-SDI (480i/576i)
SMPTE 266M DVITC is detected > use SMPTE 266M DVITC
>
(undetected)
>
SMPTE RP 188 VITC is detected > use SMPTE RP 188 VITC
>
(undetected)
>
SMPTE RP 188 LTC is detected > use SMPTE RP 188 LTC
>
(undetected)
>
Use free-run of Internal timecode generator
* If the input signal is 1080/59.94i, 720/59.94p, or 480/59.94i, the internal timecode generator will be
drop-frame.
