The timecode display format for the Program Monitor (including the instance in the Trim Monitor) and Timeline
panels always match one another. Changing the display format in one of these panels changes it in the other.
Stripe tape or replace timecode
You can ensure continuous timecode by recording timecode onto the tape before you use it. This process is called
striping
the tape. Striping is not necessary if you follow recommended shooting practices, but it can protect you from
accidentally breaking timecode by miscuing a tape in your camera.
Stripe a tape with timecode
1
Place an unused tape in the camera. It should have no timecode.
2
If you’re using a camera for striping, attach the lens cap and disable audio recording.
3
Ensure that all camera settings (particularly the audio sample rate) are
exactly
the same as the settings you will use
when you shoot. Use all these same settings whenever shooting on that tape.
4
Begin recording. Let the camera or deck run until the entire tape has been recorded.
