S etting the Time Code
In mode, the camcorder generates a time code signal and records it with the recorded clips. The time
code signal can be output from the SDI terminal, HDMI OUT terminal and TIME CODE terminal. In mode,
the time code embedded in the clip being played back can be output from the SDI terminal.
Depending on the frame rate used, you may be able to select between a drop frame an non-drop frame time
code signal (

code display style is different for DF and NDF, in this section the NDF display style is used for simplicity’s sake.
