Time code/user bit Time code The time code is used when the time code signal generated by the time code generator (time code signal generator) is to be recorded on the tape, its values are to be read by the time code reader (time code signal reader), and the absolute position of the tape is to be displayed in increments of hours, minutes, seconds and frames. The time code is written in the sub-code area (data area) of the helical track. This enables insert editing to be conducted independently using the time code alone. In addition, the VTR’s playback speed can be read from the stop mode to slow-motion playback up to high- speed play (approx. 100× normal speed). The time code values are indicated using the display and superimpose functions. TC 00 : 07 : 04 : 24 HoursSeconds Frames Minutes Time code reader values normally appear on the superimposed display. Values appear as shown below on the front display. Playback: Time code reader values REC, EE: Time code generator values Time code generator values can be checked when the REC button is pressed even during playback. User bit “User bit” refers to the 32-bit (8-digit) data frame among the time code signals which has been released to users. It enables operator numbers values to be recorded. The alphanumeric characters which can be used for the user bit are the figures 0 to 9 and the letters A to F. –38–
Recording internal/external time codes Setting the internal time code Place the VTR in the stop mode. Set the CTL/TC/UB switch to TC. Set the TC lNT/EXT switch to INT. (Internal time code selected) Set the RUN MODE. (setup menu No. 510) REC (RUN):The time code runs at the same time as the recording proceeds. FREE (RUN): The time code runs in the same way as the time regardless of the VTR’s operation. Set the REGEN MODE. (setup menu No. 504) OFF (REGEN): Continuity is maintained with the recorded time code before editing. (Detailed settings are also possible using the menu settings. See the menu items below.) Setting menu No. 503 (TCG REGEN) ON (PRESET): Recording starts from the value set with the TC PRESET button. Set the TC PRESET button. Use the TC PRESET button to set the start number of the time code or user bit. The leftmost digit flashes. Align the flashing light and the digit to be set with the cursor buttons , Press the cursor button or to change the value. Each time the button is pressed, the number changes. The setting range is given below. • When using the time code and user bit in real time 00:00:00:00 – 23:59:59:29 • User bit 00 00 00 00 – FF FF FF FF Repeat steps 1 and 2 to change the value. When the setting of the start number is completed, press the SET button. In the FREE RUN mode, the time code now starts running. Proceed with the recording or editing. 2. Setting the external time code (TC switch EXT) Place the VTR in the stop mode. Set the TC/CTL/UB switch to TC. Set the TC INT/EXT switch to EXT. (External time code selected) Setting menu No. 505 (EXT TC SEL) can be set as follows. LTC:The LTC signal input to the TIME CODE IN connector (BNC) on the rear jack panel is recorded as the time code. The LTC signal must be synchronized with the video signal. VITC:The input video signal’s VITC is recorded as the time code. –39–
Reproducing the time code/user bit Place the unit in the stop mode. Set the CTL/TC/UB switch to TC or UB. TC: The time code is displayed. UB: The user bit is displayed. • When it is no longer possible to read the time code, it is interpolated using the CTL signal. Press the PLAY button. Playback now commences, and the time code appears on the display. When setting menu No.006 (SUPER) is ON, the time code value is superimposed onto the video signal from the VIDEO OUT 3 connector. • The colon between the seconds and frames changes to a period when the drop frame time code is read. • When the time code signal cannot be read, the time code is automatically interpolated by the CTL signal. The superimposed appears as shown below. The colon between the seconds and frames changes to a period during drop frame mode. When the time code signal cannot be read, an asterisk is displayed on the superimposed TV monitor. –40–
