To set the advancement mode
Set [TC RUN] on the [TC/UB SET] menu to switch
the advancement mode (counting up).
REC RUN: Time code advances only while
recording.
FREE RUN: Time code advances even when the
unit is not recording and the time indicator is
paused.
Notes
• If you set the advancement mode to [FREE RUN],
the time code will be updated by the internal clock
while the unit’s power is off. The time code may have
been delayed or advanced somewhat if you turn on
the unit power again, play back a tape, or set the
INPUT SELECT switch to HDV/DV.
• Available only when [PRESET] is set to [TC
MAKE].
To set the frame mode (For 60i only)
Set [TC FORMAT] on the [TC/UB SET] menu to
switch the frame mode.
AUTO: Automatically sets the mode in accordance
with the loaded tape.
If nothing is recorded on the tape, the mode is set to
the non-drop frame mode. If the unit cannot read
the frame mode correctly from the tape, the unit
will use the mode that was set in the last position it
was able to read correctly on the tape. If you
remove the cassette, the mode of the last position it
was able to read correctly is cleared and the mode
is set to the non-drop frame mode. If [TC MAKE]
is set to [PRESET], the mode is also set to the non-
drop frame mode.
DF: Selects the drop frame mode.
NDF: Selects the non-drop frame mode.
Note
When you set [50i/60i SEL] on the [OTHERS] menu
to 50i, this unit uses the 50i system specification.
Therefore, the time code generated by the unit during
recording in the DVCAM format is that of the non-
drop frame mode. Even if a 60i system signal is input
to the HDV/DV jack, the time code generated by the
unit is the non-drop frame mode regardless of the [TC
FORMAT] setting. If you intend to set the unit to
generate the time code in the drop frame mode, set
[50i/60i SEL] to 60i.
