2-5 Time code related section
1
GENLOCK IN connector (BNC)
The reference signal is input to this connector when
genlock is to be established with the camera unit or when
the time code is to be externally locked.
2
TC IN connector (BNC)
Supply the time code which will serve as the reference to
this connector when externally locking the time code.
3
TC OUT connector (BNC)
To lock the time code of an external VTR to the unit’s time
code, connect this connector to the time code input (TC IN)
connector on the external VTR.
4
HOLD button
The time data display of the counter display section which
was on the screen at the moment when this button is
pressed is held. (However, the time code generator keeps
running.) When the button is pressed again, the hold
status is released.
It is used, for instance, to find out the time code or CTL
counter value at which a particular scene was shot.
5
RESET button
This is used to reset the time data on the counter display
section to “00:00:00:00.” If it is pressed while the TCG
switch
9
is at the SET position, the time code data and
user bits data are respectively reset to “00:00:00:00.”
6
DISPLAY switch
This is used to display the time code, CTL or user bits on
the counter display section depending on the setting
positions of this switch and the TCG switch
9
.
UB
:
The user bits are displayed.
TC
:
The time code is displayed.
CTL :
CTL is displayed.
7
“+” button, “–” button
These are used to increment or decrement by 1 the figure
in the digit which was made to flash by the SHIFT button
8
when the time code or user bits are to be set.
8
SHIFT button
This causes the digit to be set to flash when the time code
or user bits are to be set.
9
TCG (time code selector) switch
This is used to set the running mode of the built-in time
code generator.
F-RUN :
Set here to have the time code run all the time
regardless of the VTR’s operation.
This position is used to align the time code with
the time or externally lock the time code.
SET
:
Set here when the time code or user bits are to be
set.
R-RUN :
Set here to have the time code run only during
recording. The time code on the tape with scene-
to-scene continuity is recorded continuously.
