Setting the Timecode
There are the following four ways of recording timecode:

internal timecode generator, set beforehand to an
initial value. The following run modes can be
selected.
• Free Run: Timecode advances continuously.
• Rec Run: Timecode advances only during
recording.
Internal Regen (regenerate) mode:
This records the
output of the internal timecode generator, initialized
to the timecode following sequentially from the
timecode of the last frame of the last clip on the disc.
External Regen (regenerate) mode:
This records the
output of the internal timecode generator,
synchronized to an external timecode generator. The
timecode input to any of the following connectors can
be selected as the external input.
• TIME CODE IN connector: LTC
• SD/HDSDI INPUT connector: VITC and LTC
External Preset mode:
This directly records the input of
an external timecode generator. The timecode input to
the TIME CODE IN connector can be selected as the
external input.
