TIME BASE
Typical Setup Examples 4 – 35
Time Code Inserter
The Time Code Inserter inserts the read Time Code into the video picture
as visible numbers (known as a Burn-in Window).
Settings:
INS: ON, +IN
or
+TC9
POS V, POS H
and
VIEW
to suit yourself.
POS
defines the vertical (
V
) and horizontal (
H
) position,
VIEW
the appear-
ance.
With a setting of
+IN
, when Time Base finds no master Time Code avail-
able it automatically switches to the unchecked Time Code being directly
read in.
With a setting of
+TC9
and a connected 9-pin (RS422 or the SONY pro-
tocol) machine, when the Master Time Code is not available, the Inserter
automatically switches over to the Time Code being read from the 9-pin
connector.
❐
When using VITC, Time Base has the advantage that tapes can be ordered
without a burnt-in Time Code window (which always carries the risk of hid-
ing an important part of the picture). What's more, a run-through without the
annoyance of visible Time Code is far more aesthetically pleasing (espe-
cially when it is for client approval).
• The Time Code Inserter can also be set up and activated in Nuendo’s De-
vice Setup dialog.
