The two timecode jump tables are filled with the following data:
•
The first table is always filled in with the LTC timecode. This is the timecode
defined on or plugged into the server.
•
The second table is filled in with the timecodes selected by the user. This can
be one of the following timecode type:
o
LTC and VITC (default) timecodes in SD
o
LTC, HANC LTC (default) or HANC VITC in HD
Note
The timecode jump tables are circular: when the table is full, the latest
entry will overwrite the oldest one.
For more information on the settings related to the timecode jump tables, refer to
the sections below.
For more information on the settings related to the definition and monitoring of

The settings related to the timecode jump tables are specified on the first page of
the Setup screen (accessed via SHIFT-F2).
The operators can use two types of timecodes to work with the video material
stored by a given recorder on a server:
•
The LTC timecodes are automatically stored in the first timecode jump table,
i.e. the ‘LTC table’. This is specified in the LTC field, which is not editable.
•
The second type of timecodes has to be specified by the user in the USER
field. It will be stored in the second timecode jump table, the ‘USER TC table’.
The users can specify one of the following timecode types in the USER setting:
•
LTC and VITC timecodes in SD
•
LTC, HANC LTC and HANC VITC in HD
The user will have the possibility to work with one of the timecode types defined
for the recorder. Usually, an LTC timecode is used to perform operations on live
events. A VITC timecode is used for video material ingested from tapes as it is the
timecode embedded in the video signal.
