Ð 78 Ð 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 VTRÕs playback speed can be read from the stop mode to slow-motion playback up to high- speed play (approx. 100X normal speed). The time code values are indicated using the display and superimpose functions. TCR 00 : 07 : 04 : 24 MinutesSeconds Hours Frames User bit ÒUser bitÓ 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. Time code and userÕs bit control during tape play is exercised by the data recorded in the SBC area. The data recorded in this area includes the data that appears on the display or is superimposed on the TV monitor screen and the communication data that is transferred to the editing controller.
Ð 79 Ð Recording internal/external time codes 1. Setting the internal time code 1Place the VTR in the stop mode. 2Set the TC/CTL switch to TC. 3Set the TC INT/EXT switch to INT. (Internal time code selected) 4Set the REC RUN/FREE RUN switch position. 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 VTRÕs operation. 5Set the REGEN/PRESET switch position. 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.) Setup menu No. 503 (TCG REGEN) Setup menu No. 504 (REGEN MODE) PRESET:Recording starts from the value set with the TC SET button. During auto editing, REGEN will be selected by the setup menu No. 504 setting even if the switch has been set to the PRESET position. 6Set the TC SET button. Use the TC SET button to set the start number of the time code or user bit. 1Press the SHIFT button. The leftmost digit flashes. 2Press the ADJ button to change the value.

Setting the external time code (TC switch ® EXT) 1Place the VTR in the stop mode. 2Set the TC/CTL switch to TC. 3Set the TC INT/EXT switch to EXT. (External time code selected) 4Setup menu No. 505 (EXT TC SEL) can be set as follows. LTC:The LTC signal input to the TIME CODE IN connector (XLR) 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 signalÕs VITC is recorded as the time code.
Ð 80 Ð Reproducing the time code/user bit 1Place the unit in the stop mode. 2Set the TC/CTL button to TC. 3Set the 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. 4Press the PLAY button. Playback now commences, and the time code appears on the display. When setup menu No. 006 (SUPER) is ON, the time code value is superimposed onto the video signal from the VIDEO OUT 3 connector. ¥ When the time code signal cannot be read, the time code is automatically interpolated by the CTL signal. The display appears as shown below. ¥ The colon between the seconds and frames changes to a period when the drop frame time code is read. 00:01:04:07TÎR When the time code signal cannot be read, an asterix ( Î) is displayed. The colon between the seconds and frames changes to period during drop frame mode.
