- Compute from Field Number calculates the timecode directly from the
field number of the recorded video. New clips start at 00:00:00:00.
- TC Rec # displays the recorded timecode.
- Generator displays the timecode from the generator for the channel.
4. Set up the timecode generator used by the panel with the
Timecode Generator
Settings
group:
- Free Run causes the timecode generator to continue to advance regardless
of the current play or record mode of the panel.
- Freeze locks the timecode at the current value. The value does not
advance with time nor with changes in the play or record mode of the
panel.
- Lock to Field Number causes the generator to output a timecode locked
to the current clip’s timecode. When the panel is in stop, the value freezes.
When the panel is in play or record, the timecode advances normally.
During rewind or reverse shuttle, the timecode runs backward.
- Regenerate pertains to BVW controllers only. When the timecode
position is changed to a new portion of the clip, and a record operation
includes recorded timecode tracks (which happens with assemble edits
from BVE and other controllers), the timecode generator is initialized to
match the timecode read from the timecode track (VITC or LTC) before
the record occurs.
- The Reset To button resets the timecode to the value entered in the box.
The generator can be set to this value when Free Run , Freeze , or Lock to
Field Number is selected.

Setting Timecode Crosspoints
The Timecode Crosspoint dialog box controls the connections of timecode
signals within the Profile system.
• Timecode inputs (top-left corner) represent either LTC input connectors on
the back panel or VITC input signals. Timecode inputs can be connected to
timecode recorders for recording onto disk.
• Timecode generators (below timecode inputs) represent timecode generators
used by the panels. Timecode generators can be connected to timecode
recorders for recording onto disk or to timecode outputs.
