Problems with timecode
This troubleshooting aid provides corrective action for some common timecode
problems. Search the table for the problem you are experiencing, then try the
corrective action. Some problems have more than one corrective action.VITC Record
Problem Possible Cause(s) Corrective Action
VITC:
Incorrect recorded timecode. VITC reader is set to automatic
and there are two sets of VITC
in the VBI. Use manual VITC detection and
specify lines where VITC
should be read. Refer to
“Recording VITC” on page 177.
VITC:
Incorrect or no recorded
timecode. The VITC reader is set to
manual and there are two sets of
VITC in the VBI and the wrong
VITC lines may be specified. Verify location of VITC signals
and set up manual VITC
detection accordingly. Refer to
“Recording VITC” on page 177.
VITC:
Can’t read or record VITC. VITC detection is set to manual
and the wrong VITC lines are
specified Set VITC detect to Automatic or
verify location of VITC signals
and set up manual VITC
detection accordingly. Refer to
“Recording VITC” on page 177.
VITC:
The VITC output I want to use is
not listed in the Timecode
Output list. You have not assigned the
corresponding video output to
the channel. Assign the video output you
want to use to the channel. Refer
to “Selecting the video I/Os used
by a channel” on page 117
VITC:
Incorrect VITC timecode on the
video output. There may be two sets of VITC
on the video output and the
external reader is reading the
wrong timecode signal. Two
VITC signals can occur when
there is VITC on the video input
or playback signal and at the
same time, the video output is
generating VITC. Erase the VITC signal on the
video output (refer to “Erasing
video input VBI information”
on page 130) or turn off the
VITC generator on the output
(refer to “Setting up the VITC
generator on a video output” on
page 184 and choose “Do not
generate VITC”).
VITC:
Two sets of VITC signals are
present on the output. There may be two sets of VITC
because there is VITC on the
video input or playback signal
and also the video output is
generating VITC. Erase the VITC signal on the
video output (refer to “Deleting
unwanted VITC signals” on
page 185) or turn off the VITC
generator on the output (refer to
“Setting up the VITC generator
on a video output” on page 184
and choose “Do not generate
VITC”).
Recorded timecode reads
xx.xx.xx.xx. No timecode source for the
channel. Select a timecode source. Refer
to “Selecting timecode I/O for
each timecode track” on
page 104. This is normal in
Profile Applications when there
is no clip cued.
