TC/UB SET TC PRESET
Reset the time code value or set the desired time code value.
PRESET :
Sets the desired time code value.
RESET :
Resets the time code value to 00:00:00:00.
To set the initial time code value, you need to set [TC MAKE] to [PRESET] first. If [TC MAKE]
has been set to [REGENERATE], or [HDV/DV IN TC] has been set to [EXTERNAL], this
setting is not effective.
UB PRESET
Resets the user bits value or sets the desired user bits value.
PRESET :
Sets the user bits value. (You can set the user bits as eight-digit
hexadecimal values (0 to 9, A to F) (base 16) to have the date, time, scene
number, and other information inserted into the user bits.)
RESET :
Resets the user bits value to 00 00 00 00.
When the INPUT SELECT switch is set to HDV/DV and HDV signals are input to the unit, this
setting is not effective. (When color bars are displayed or during recording, this setting is
effective.)
