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

timecode jumps, refer to section on the timecode statuses in the Server Monitoring

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.
