Setting Timecode
There are the following four ways of recording timecode:

internal timecode generator, set beforehand to an
initial value. The following run modes can be
selected.
• Free Run: Timecode advances continually.
• Rec Run: Timecode advances only during
recording.
Internal Regen (regenerate) mode:
This records the
output of the internal timecode generator, initialized
to timecode following continuously upon the
timecode of the last frame of the last clip on the SxS
memory card.
External Regen mode:
This records the output of the
internal timecode generator, synchronized to an
external timecode generator. As the external input, the
timecode input to any of the following connectors can
be selected.
• TIME CODE IN connector: LTC
• SD/HDSDI INPUT connector: VITC and LTC
External Preset mode:

an external timecode generator. As the external input,

connector can be selected.
