Displaying Time Code
The GY-HD250/GY-HD251 records SMPTE-standard
(NTSC) or EBU-standard (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.
• Time code generator data is output from the [TC OUT] ter-
minal or [HD/SD-SDI] terminal.
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.
Displayed Time Code/User’s Bit
• When TCG SOURCE on the TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen
is set to INTERNAL, values from the built-in time code
generator is displayed.
• When TCG SOURCE on the TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen
is set to EXTERNAL, values from the external time code
generator connected to the [TC IN] terminal is displayed.
• When TC DUPLI. on the TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen is
set to ON in IEEE1394 input mode, values input in the
[IEEE1394] terminal is displayed.
• Values recorded on the tape are displayed for PLAY
mode.
Time code input entered the
IEEE1394 connector
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
• To use input time code data from the IEEE1394 terminal,
set TCG SOURCE item on the TC/UB/CLOCK menu
screen to INTERNAL.
• To record HDV/DV input time code and user’s bit from
the IEEE1394 connector, set the TC DUPLI. item on the
TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen to ON.
X
See page 93.
• To maintain the continuity of time code data, use with the
TC GENE. switch set to REGEN mode when recording
HDV/DV input signal from the IEEE1394 connector.
• There is no time code display for HDV input.
CAUTION
A time code with a duration of more than 2 hours may not
be displayed correctly by DV components for general con-
sumer use, as some of these lack the capability to display
longer time codes.
