61Adjustments and Settings for Recording: Setting Time Data Adjustments and Settings for Recording The following shows recording time codes and user bits for different input signal formats, and SYSTEM MODE and CAMERA MODE settings. *1 If the menu option FRAME RATE UB on the screen is set to “MENU”, then recording is performed as per the UB MODE or VITC UB MODE. Note that, with this setting, information required by editors (PC editing software) is not recorded. *2 For Free run, the time code is slaved to the time code input through the TC IN connector. *3 For Free run, the time code is slaved to the time code input through the TC IN connector if it is a non-drop frame. *4 When the menu option UB MODE is set to “EXT”, then the bits are slaved to the user bits input through the TC IN connector. *5 Regardless of the menu settings, frame rate information is always recorded. During playback, the information is output after being converted into pull-down frame rate information. *6 When the menu option UB MODE is set to “FRM RATE”, the pull-down frame rate information read out from the UB in the VAUX area is output during playback. *7 For details on this item, refer to [Recording formats and output connector signal formats] (page 47).

63Adjustments and Settings for Recording: Setting Time Data Adjustments and Settings for Recording The data set for the user bits are automatically saved and retained even if the unit is turned off. If video information to be recorded based on the frame rate set through the menu option FRAME RATE or CAMERA MODE is recorded in the user bits, it can be edited with editing tools (e.g. PC editing software). In 1080i mode, the frame rate information for the user bits recorded in the VIDEO AUX area are used. In 720P mode, the video information is also recorded in the sub-code area because the frame rate information for the user bits recorded in the sub-code area is also used. The frame rate and video pull-down menu are linked to the time code and user bits as follows:Frame rate: 24P Over 60i (2:3) Frame rate: 24PA Over 60i (2:3:3:2) Retaining the user bits Frame rate information recorded in user bits Frame rate information a.Checking information for the 6 digits at right. b.Fixed value c.Sequence No. 0 to 4: 24P, 24PA Fixed at F: In all other modes d.Frame rate e.Camera shooting mode SYSTEM MODEREC FORMAT VFRCAMERA MODEAt recordingAt playback 1080-59.94iDVCPROHD/60i AVC-I 100/60i Not applicable60i 0 0 DVCPROHD/60i30P 8 8 24P 8 8 24PA C C AVC-I 100/30PN 30P 8 8 AVC-I 100/24PN 24P C 8 1080-23.98PsF AVC-I 100/24PN 24P C 8 1080-24PsF AVC-I 100/24PN 24P E A 1080-50iDVCPROHD/50i AVC-I 100/50i50i 2 2 25P A A AVC-I 100/25PN 25P A A f.Media management information yUpdated frame/Effective frame information yREC START/STOP mark abc efd For 1080i Starting field for the updated frame Time code frame digit Image Sequence No. Updated frame information Time code frame digit Image Sequence No. Updated frame information Frame rate: 30P Over 60i (2:2) 25P Over 50i (2:2) Time code frame digit Image Updated frame information 0001020304050623242526272829 CoDe DoDeAo AeBo BeBoCe CoDe DoDeAo AeBo BeBoCe CoDe DoDeAo AeBo Be 01234013401234 1010010100101001001010010100 0001020304050623242526272829 CoCeDo DeAo AeBo BeBoCe CoCeDo DeAo AeBo BeBoCe CoCeDo DeAo AeBo Be 01234013401234 1010010010101000101010010010 000102 Ao AeBo BeCoCe 1010 10 AJ-HPX2700G-VQT1V27_eng.book 63 ページ ２００８年９月２日 火曜日 午後５時４３分

Note that any later than 2030 cannot be set. Z button: Shifts the target (blinking) digit to the right. Y button: Shifts the target (blinking) digit to the left. U button: Advances the blinking number by one digit. V button: Winds back the blinking number by one digit. 5Press the HOLD button to display TIME in the display window. 6Use the cursor buttons to set the hour, minute and second (h/min/s). 7Position the TCG switch at [F-RUN] or [R-RUN]. The internal clock starts at the moment the switch position is changed. 8Press the HOLD button to display a time zone (time difference between local time and Greenwich Mean Time) in the display window. 9Position the TCG switch at [SET]. 10Use the U and V buttons to set the desired hours and minutes ahead of (no sign) or behind (– sign) the Greenwich Mean Time. Example: If the local time is 5 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time, set the time zone to “5:00 –”. The time zone is always recorded, together with the date and time, as metadata. See the table at right to set the time zone according to your local time. 11Position the TCG switch at [F-RUN] or [R-RUN] to accept the time zone.
66Adjustments and Settings for Recording: Setting Time Data 1Position the DISPLAY switch at [TC]. 2Position the TCG switch at [SET]. 3Set the menu option TC MODE to “DF” or “NDF”. “DF” steps the time code in drop frame mode, and “NDF” steps it in non-drop frame mode. However, the camera always operates in “NDF” for 24P, 24PA and 24PN (Native) modes. The menu option TC MODE can be found in the screen on the MAIN OPERATION page.
67Adjustments and Settings for Recording: Setting Time Data Adjustments and Settings for Recording The unit’s internal time code generator can be locked to an external generator. In addition, the external time code generator can be locked to the unit’s internal generator. As the figure shows, connect both the reference video signal and reference time code. Example 1:When locking onto an external signal a.Reference time code b.Reference video signal
68Adjustments and Settings for Recording: Setting Time Data As a result of processing to convert the video captured by the imaging devices from a progressive signal to an interlace signal, video signal delays will occur in the camera. Since time is required for making the 2:3 pull-down from the 24P frame, there is a video signal delay in the camera. When recording from a device that can record images without a delay and the unit is connected in parallel, it is necessary to synchronize the time code. To set this timing, open the screen from the MAIN OPERATION page and set it in the TC VIDEO SYNCHRO item. Set by referring to the connection example. Example 3:When the unit and an external device are locked to the external time code generator, which is connected externally, and when simultaneous recording is made by using the TC OUT output signals.

70Adjustments and Settings for Recording: Setting Time Data Follow the steps below. 1Turn on the POWER switch. 2Position the TCG switch at [F-RUN]. 3Position the DISPLAY switch at [TC]. 4Set the menu option GENLOCK to “EXT”. This option can be found in the screen on the SYSTEM SETTING page. 5Supply a phase-relationship reference time code (that conforms to the time code requirements) and reference video signals to the TC IN and GENLOCK IN connectors, respectively. Now the built-in time code generator is locked with the reference time code. From about 10 seconds after locking the time code generator stays locked even if the supply of external reference time code is discontinued.
