Understanding the LCD Menus
59
In Input Regen mode, drop frame and non drop frame modes are both supported in 23.98, 29.97 and 59.94
frame rates. However, in a conversion where the source timecode is drop frame and the video output format
does not support drop frame timecode, (e.g. 50Hz or 60Hz integer frame rates), the output timecode will
automatically be converted to non drop frame.
Generate Mode
The timecode generator will generate free running output timecode appropriate for the selected output
format, even if no timecode is present on your video input signal. The Set Timecode menu seen is dependent
on the choice you made in the Start Source menu, “Input” or “Start Value.”
If the Start Source menu is set to “Input,” the Set Timecode menu will show “Input” as the Start Value for
the generator (see below). When you press the Start button, the generator will capture the current input
timecode value and use that value to start outputting free running timecode. If no timecode is present on
your input video source, the generator will begin counting at 00:00:00:00.
Menu number 4 above will be seen when the Set Timecode button is pressed and the Start Source menu is set to Input.
