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.
