The underline on the setting item denotes the initial setting.
This selects whether to control the phase correction of the
LTC generated by the TCG.
0: Phase correction control is not performed.
1: Phase correction control is performed.
This selects whether the CF flag of the TCG is to ON.
0: CF flag is OFF.
1: CF flag is ON.
This selects the DF/NDF mode for CTL and TCG.
0: Drop frame mode.
1: Non-drop frame mode.
• DF mode is valid only when the LOCAL/REMOTE switch is
set to LOCAL or the setup menu No. 001 (LOCAL ENA) is
set to ENA.
• This setup menu is not displayed in the 625 mode.
This is used to switch the phase of the time code, which is
output from the TIME CODE OUT connector, for the external
LTC input when the TC INT/EXT switch is at the EXT position.
0: Time code is synchronized with output video signal.
1: Time code is synchronized with external time code input.
This selects how the VITC which is to be superimposed onto
the output video signal is to be output.
0: During recording: The input time code, which was selected
by the setup menu No. 505 (EXT TC
SEL) setting and TC INT/EXT switch, is
output as the VITC.
During playback: The time code recorded in the SBC area
is output as the VITC.
1: During recording: The time code detected from the input
video signal is output as the VITC.
During playback: The time code recorded in the VAUX
area is output as the VITC.
The time code detected from the input video signal is auto-
matically recorded in the VAUX area while pictures are being
recorded.
SBC (sub code data) area:
This area is separate from the video and audio data area on the helical track. The time code complying with SMPTE/EBU
standards is stored here. As with the conventional LTC (linear time code), the time code can be read even during rewinding or
fast forwarding. It can also be read out when the tape has stopped.
VAUX (video auxiliary data) area:
This area is to be found in the video data area on the helical track. The additional information relating to the video data is stored
here.
The time code and user’s bit are controlled during tape playback by the data which has been recorded in the SBC area. This
means that all the data recorded in the SBC area alone is used as the data which is to be indicated on the counter display
section in the middle of the front panel or in the superimposed display, or as the data which is to be transmitted to the editing
controller or other unit.
