(TIMER SEL/RESET/SET/HOLD)
The display shows the following types of time data:
Time data for IN, OUT, AUDIO IN and AUDIO OUT
points are also displayed.
Appears whenever a duration
between any two edit points
(IN, OUT, AUDIO IN or AUDIO
OUT points) is displayed.
2) CTL signals
CTL (control) signals are pulse signals that are recorded
horizontally in each frame.
3) User bits
Comprising a part of the time code, user bits record
supplementary information and consist of an eight-digit
number or hexadecimal A to F.
..........................................................................................................................................................................................................
1) LTC and VITC
LTC cannot be read when the tape speed is very slow or
is changed suddenly. VITC, on the other hand, can be
read more accurately than LTC when the VTR is stopped
or the tape speed is very low. VITC, however, cannot be
read when the tape speed is very fast.
Indication Time data type
The LTC 1) value read by the
time code reader during
playback.
TCR VITC The VITC 1) value read by the
time code reader during
playback.
CTL The number of CTL signals 2)
