Setting Time Code
Generator
Presetting the Time Code
Time code and user’s bit data generated from the
internal time code generator are recorded.
This section describes how to set [TC/UB]
B [TC
Preset].
(A P111 [ TC Preset ] )
Memo :
0
When [System] B
[Record Set] B [Record
Format] B [WFrame Rate] is set to “50p”, “50i”
or “24p”, setting for “Drop” will be disabled.

You can configure
the setting without accessing
the [TC/UB] menu screen.
(A P74 [Setting Time Code without Opening
the Menu] )
Required Settings Before Preset
1
Set [TC/UB] B [
TC Generator
]
to “Rec Run”
or “Free Run”.
(A P111 [ TC Generator ] )
0
[Rec Run]:
Preset data in the time code generator
operates
in
run mode during recording mode.
Set this when recording continuous time
code in connecting frames.
0
[Free Run]:
Time code starts to operate in run mode from
the preset time in the time code generator.
2
Select the framing mode for the time code
generator (only when
the frame rate setting
is “60” or “30”).
To configure the setting, go to [TC/UB] B
[Drop
Frame].
(A P111 [ Drop Frame ] )
0
[Drop]:
Sets
the run
mode of the time code generator
to drop frame mode. Use this setting when
placing emphasis on the recording time.
0
[Non Drop]:
Sets the run mode of the time code generator
to non-drop frame mode. Use this setting
when placing emphasis on the number of
frames.
Memo :
Drop frame/non-drop frame mode
0
When [System] B [Record Set] B [Record
Format] B [Frame Rate
] is set to
“60p”, “60i”, or
“30p”, the actual number of frames per second
is approximately 59.94 (29.97). However, the
time code processing standard is “60p”, “60i”, or
“30p” frames. To make up for the frame number
discrepancy, the drop frame mode (Drop) drops
the 00 frame and 01 frame every minute except
for minutes that are multiples of 10. However, in
the case of “60p”, the 00, 01, 02 and 03 frame
are dropped.
0
The
non-drop frame
mode (Non Drop) does not
drop frames and ignores the discrepancy with
the actual time.
