Chapter 5 Adjustments and Settings for Recording 5-6 Setting the Time Data 5-6-1 Setting the Time Code The time code setting range is from 00 : 00 : 00 : 00 to 23 : 59 : 59 : 29 (hours : minutes : seconds : frames) for the PDW-510/530, and from 00 : 00 : 00 : 00 to 23 : 59 : 59 : 24 for the PDW-510P/530P. Note When the scan mode is 24P (with the CBK-FC01 expansion board installed) and the frame mode is NDF (non-drop frame mode), the value of the least significant digit is limited to 0 or 5. To set the time code, proceed as follows. 1 RESET button 4 2 3 THUMBNAIL SEL/SET ESSENCE MARK SUB CLIP S.SEL CLIP MENU SHIFT PRESET REGEN CLOCK F-RUN SET R-RUN Setting the time code 1 Set the DISPLAY switch to TC. 2 Set the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to PRESET. 3 Set the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to SET. The first (leftmost) digit of time code flashes. 4 Use the SEL/SET dial to set the time code value. To change the value of the flashing digit, turn the dial, and to shift to the next digit, press the dial. Repeat this until all desired digits are set. To reset the time code value to 00:00:00:00 Press the RESET button. 5 Set the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to F-RUN or R- RUN. F-RUN: Free run. The time code generator keeps running. R-RUN: Recording run. The time code generator runs only while recording. To set the drop frame mode/non-drop frame mode (only for the PDW-510/530) You can select the drop frame (DF) mode or non-drop frame (NDF) mode on the FUNCTION 1 page of the USER menu or OPERATION menu or on the TIMECODE page of the MAINTENANCE menu. To make the time code consecutive When the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch is set to R-RUN, recording a number of scenes on the disc normally produces consecutive time code. However, once you remove the disc and record on another disc, the time code will no longer be consecutive when you use the original disc again for recording. In this case, to make the time code consecutive, proceed as follows. 1 Set the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to REGEN. 2 Press the RET button on the lens. This reads the previous recording and synchronizes the internal time code generator, thus allowing the new time code recorded to follow on consecutively. 5-6-2 Saving the Actual Time in the Time Code Setting the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to CLOCK saves the actual time in the time code. When it is necessary to set the actual time, use the TIME/ DATE page of the DIAGNOSIS menu. For details, see 7-3-6 "Setting the Date/Time of the Internal Clock" on page 135. 5-6-3 Setting the User Bits By setting the user bits (up to 8 hexadecimal digits), you can record user information such as the date, time, or scene number on the time code track. To set the user bits, proceed as follows. 96 5-6 Setting the Time Data
