Recording and Playback

• To synchronize to LTC data contained in the

HDSDI signal input to this unit:

TCG (F1):

SDI

PR/RGN (F2):

LTC

• To synchronize to VITC data contained in the

HDSDI signal input to this unit:

TCG (F1):

SDI

PR/RGN (F2):

VITC

This starts the internal time code generator running

in synchronization with the external time code

generator.

Once the internal time code generator is

synchronized with the external time code

generator, even if the external time code generator

connection is removed, the internal time code

generator continues to run.

Setting PR/RGN (F2) to PRESET when TCG (F1)

is set to EXT or SDI has the effect as setting PR/

RGN (F2) to LTC.

Recording Procedure

To record, use the following procedure.

1

Insert a cassette.

For details, see the section “Inserting a cassette” (page

3-8).

2

Hold down the REC button, and press the PLAY

button.

Recording starts, the servo locks, and the SERVO

indicator lights.

3

To stop recording, press the STOP button.

If you record to the end of the tape

The tape is automatically rewound, and stops.

To synchronize the internal time code

generator to an external signal

Use this method to synchronize the time code

generators of a number of VTRs, or to record the

playback time code signal from an external VTR

without deterioration of the signal waveform.

In this case the RUN and DF settings are ignored.

You can synchronize the internal time code generator

to either of the following external time codes.

• The time code output (LTC) of an external time code

generator or external VTR connected to the TIME

CODE IN connector of the unit

• The time code (LTC and VITC) present in the

HDSDI signal input to the unit

To synchronize the internal time code generator to an

external signal, use the following procedure.

1

• When synchronizing to an external time code

output (LTC):

Connect the time code output of the external time

code generator or external VTR to the TIME

CODE IN connector.

• When synchronizing to the time code (VITC) in

an input video signal:

With the VID.IN in function menu HOME page,

select the HDSDI signal.

2

Make the following settings in function menu page

1.

• To synchronize to the external time code signal

input to this unit’s TIME CODE IN connector:

TCG (F1):
