Setting the Time Code
The camcorder generates a time code signal and records it with the recorded clips. The time code
signal can be output from the SDI OUT terminal (
s
only) and HDMI OUT terminal.
Depending on the frame rate used, you may be able to select between a drop frame an non-drop
frame time code signal (
A
66). Though the time code display style is different for DF and NDF, in this
section the NDF display style is used for simplicity’s sake.
