Displaying Time Code
This device records SMPTE-standard (NTSC) or EBU-stan-
dard (PAL) time codes and user’s bits. In the play mode or
the record mode, the reproduced time codes or user’s bits
are shown on the LCD monitor or in the viewfinder.
The time codes or user’s bits can be shown on the LCD mon-
itor or in the viewfinder during playback and recording as fol-
lows. (Status screen)
Setting
1.
Set the TC/UB item on the LCD/VF[3/4] menu screen to
ON.
• Time codes or user’s bit data are displayed on the
STATUS screen.
2.
Whether time codes or user’s bit data should be dis-
played is selected with the TC DISPLAY switch inside the
LCD door.
Time code input entered the
IEEE1394 connector (GY-HD200U/
GY-HD201E only)
Pressing the STOP button for 1 second in the EJECT or stop
mode displays the DV input time code data or user’s bit data
from the IEEE1394 connector on the STATUS screen.
To return to display of the original time code or user’s bit,
press the STOP button. (Display of the normal time code or
user’s bit is also restored by performing VTR operation.)
MEMO
