3 Chapter Utilizing the Time Code Setting the Time Code and User Bits The unit can set, display, record and play back the time code and user bits. For details on the menu, see "Chapter 5 Adjusting and Setting Through Menus" on page 70. Notes • When HDV signals are recorded from the HDV/DV jack on the unit, user bits are copied automatically and cannot be preset on this unit. However, usually the time code is set according to the [TC MAKE] setting. To copy the time code of a source tape, set [HDV/DV IN TC] in the [TC/UB SET] menu to [EXTERNAL] (page 82). • When images recorded in DVCAM/DV format are input via the HDV/DV jack, you can preset user bits and time code on the unit. To copy the user bit and time code of a source tape, use [DUPLICATE PLUS] (page 80). • For a tape recorded both in HDV and DVCAM/DV formats, the time code may become garbled at a connecting portion between scenes on the tape. • If you play back an HDV tape with no signal recorded, the time cord may not be displayed properly. • The a code and user bits cannot be reset on the unit from a Remote Commander equipped with a counter reset function. Using the Internal Time Code Generator You can set the initial time code value generated by the internal time code generator. In addition, you can set the user bits to record data such as the date, time, scene number, reel number, or other useful information. The time data settings are set using the menu. To set the initial time code value This section describes how to set the time code's initial value. Note To set the initial time code value, you need to set [TC MAKE] in the [TC/UB SET] menu to [PRESET] beforehand.
