Recording and Playback
• To synchronize to LTC data contained in the
HDSDI signal input to this unit:
TCG (F1):
SDI
PR/RGN (F2):
LTC
• To synchronize to VITC data contained in the
HDSDI signal input to this unit:
TCG (F1):
SDI
PR/RGN (F2):
VITC
This starts the internal time code generator running
in synchronization with the external time code
generator.
Once the internal time code generator is
synchronized with the external time code
generator, even if the external time code generator
connection is removed, the internal time code
generator continues to run.
Setting PR/RGN (F2) to PRESET when TCG (F1)
is set to EXT or SDI has the same effect as setting
PR/RGN (F2) to LTC.
4-1-3 Recording Procedure
To record, use the following procedure.
1
Insert a cassette.
For details, see the section “Inserting a cassette” (page
3-8).
2
Hold down the REC button, and press the PLAY
button.
Recording starts, the servo locks, and the SERVO
indicator lights.
3
To stop recording, press the STOP button.
If you record to the end of the tape
The tape is automatically rewound, and stops.
To synchronize the internal time code
generator to an external signal
Use this method to synchronize the time code
generators of a number of VTRs, or to record the
playback time code signal from an external VTR
without deterioration of the signal waveform.
In this case the RUN and DF settings are ignored.
You can synchronize the internal time code generator
to either of the following external time codes.
• The time code output (LTC) of an external time code
generator or external VTR connected to the TIME
CODE IN connector of the unit
• The time code (LTC and VITC) present in the
HDSDI signal input to the unit
To synchronize the internal time code generator to an
external signal, use the following procedure.
1
• When synchronizing to an external time code
output (LTC):
Connect the time code output of the external time
code generator or external VTR to the TIME
CODE IN connector.
• When synchronizing to the time code (VITC) in
an input video signal:
With the VID.IN in function menu HOME page,
select the HDSDI signal.
2
Make the following settings in function menu page
1.
• To synchronize to the external time code signal
input to this unit’s TIME CODE IN connector:
