Chapter 4 Adjustments and Settings for Recording (continued) 4-5-3 Setting the Time Code 1 Position the DISPLAY switch at [TC]. 2 Position the TCG switch at [SET]. 4-5-4 Externally Locking the Time Code The time code generator built into your AJ-SPC700P may be locked with an external generator. It is also possible to lock an external time code generator with the internal generator. 3 Set the menu option TC MODE to "DF" or "NDF". "DF" Connections for externally locking the time code steps the time code in drop frame mode, and "NDF" (examples) steps it in non-drop frame mode. The menu option TC MODE can be found in the screen, which is accessible from the MAIN code must be input. 4 OPERATION page. Example 1 Locking the time code with external signals 4 Use the CURSOR buttons to set the time code. The time code setting range extends from 00:00:00:00 to 23:59:59:29. Reference time code button: Shifts the target (blinking) digit to the right. button: Shifts the target (blinking) digit to the left. button: Advances the blinking number by one digit. button: Winds back the blinking number by one digit. 5 Change the position of the TCG switch. [F-RUN] steps the time code in free run mode, and [RRUN] set it in recording run mode. TC IN When the TCG switch is positioned at [SET], thumbnails cannot be manipulated. GENLOCK IN Reference video signal Regeneration of Time Code When the menu option FIRST REC TC is set to "REGEN", the AJ-SPC700P reads the time code recorded in the last frame on the last recorded clip (with the most recent recording date and time) to maintain and record that value. The menu option FIRST REC TC can be found on the screen, which is accessible from the MAIN OPERATION page. However, when a P2 card is inserted or removed or when the recording target P2 card is changed using the SLOT SEL function of the USER button, the time code is continuously recorded on the clip most recently recorded on the target P2 card. When there is no recorded clip, the time code is recorded on the new recording target P2 card, from the value generated by the TC generator built into the camerarecorder. Time code function during battery replacement Even during battery replacement the backup mechanism keeps the time code generator functioning for a considerable time (about one year). When the POWER switch has been switched ON OFF ON, the backup accuracy of the time code in free run mode is about ±2 frames.

4-5-3

Setting the Time Code

Position the DISPLAY switch at [TC].

Position the TCG switch at [SET].

Set 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.

The menu option TC MODE can be found in the <TC/

UB> screen, which is accessible from the MAIN

OPERATION page.

Use the CURSOR buttons to set the time code.

The time code setting range extends from 00:00:00:00

to 23:59:59:29.

button:

Shifts the target (blinking) digit to the right.

button:

Shifts the target (blinking) digit to the left.

button:

Advances the blinking number by one digit.

button:

Winds back the blinking number by one digit.

Change the position of the TCG switch.

[F-RUN] steps the time code in free run mode, and [R-

RUN] set it in recording run mode.

<Note>

When the TCG switch is positioned at [SET],

thumbnails cannot be manipulated.

Regeneration of Time Code

When the menu option FIRST REC TC is set to “REGEN”,

the AJ-SPC700P reads the time code recorded in the last

frame on the last recorded clip (with the most recent

recording date and time) to maintain and record that value.

The menu option FIRST REC TC can be found on the <TC/

UB>

screen,

which

accessible

from

the

MAIN

OPERATION page.

<Note>

However, when a P2 card is inserted or removed or when

the recording target P2 card is changed using the SLOT SEL

function of the USER button, the time code is continuously

recorded on the clip most recently recorded on the target P2

card.

When there is no recorded clip, the time code is

recorded on the new recording target P2 card, from the

value generated by the TC generator built into the camera-

recorder.

Time code function during battery replacement

Even during battery replacement the backup mechanism

keeps the time code generator functioning for a considerable

time (about one year).

<Note>

When the POWER switch has been switched ON

OFF

ON, the backup accuracy of the time code in free run mode

is about ±2 frames.

4-5-4

Externally Locking the Time Code

The time code generator built into your AJ-SPC700P may be

locked with an external generator. It is also possible to lock

an external time code generator with the internal generator.

Connections for externally locking the time code

(examples)

As illustrated, both the reference video signals and the time

code must be input.

Example 1

Locking the time code with external signals

Example 2

Connecting two or more AJ-SPC700Ps with

one another, with one being used as the

reference device.
