OThis function works only when a setting other than MANU has been selected by setup menu No. 721 (MONI CH SEL). OThe main signal system output channels used for the CUE output differ depending on the setting selected by setup menu No. 735 (MON AUTO SEL). When L/R is selected: CUE is output to CH1 to CH4. When L is selected: CUE is output to CH1 and CH3. When R is selected: CUE is output to CH2 and CH4. OWhen PCM has been selected as the setup menu No. 721 (MONI CH SEL) setting, PCM is output. 733 CUE OUTThis selects the timing for the output picture and CUE output when CUE has been selected for monitor output. 0000NORMAL:The timing is aligned with the output picture. 0001 DIRECT:Whatever has been recorded on the tape is output with no delay. When DIRECT has been selected, the timing of the output picture and that of the cue output are not aligned properly.

57 (E) CONTENTS 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. 50anormal speed/approx. 100awhen using DVCPRO tape). The time code values are indicated using the display and superimpose functions. TCR 00 : 07 : 04 : 24 ttt tHours Minutes Seconds Frames 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. Setting the internal time code 1Set the VTR to stop mode. 3Set the run mode for the time code generator using setup menu No. 513 (RUN MODE). REC: The internal time code generator is advanced during recording. FREE: When the power is on, the internal time code generator is advanced regardless of the operation mode. 4Set the TCG switch to REGEN mode. REGEN: In this mode, the continuity of the original time code prior to editing is maintained. OA more detailed setting can be performed using setup menu No. 503 (TCG REGEN) and No. 504 (REGEN MODE). PRESET: In this mode, recording is commenced from the value which was set by the TC PRESET button. ODuring automatic editing, whatever has been selected for the menu No. 504 setting is used for regeneration even when the TCG switch has been set to PRESET. 5Use the TC PRESET button to set the start number of the time code or user’s bit. 1Press the TC PRESET button. The left-most set of digits starts flashing. 2To change the value, turn the search dial while holding down the search button. 3Turn the search dial to select the set of digits that is to be set. The digits selected start flashing.
