Setting the Time Code and User Bits
This unit can set, display, record and play back the
time code and user bits. The unit can also output the
time code read from the tape as an analog (LTC) signal
when it is played back at normal speed, and receive an
external analog time code (LTC) signal.
Note
The items other than JOG TC OUT on the TC/UB SET
menu can be set only when you record in DVCAM
format.
Using the Internal Time Code
Generator
You can set the initial time code value generated by
the internal time code generator. In addition, you can
set the user bits to record data such as the date, time,
scene number, reel number, or other useful
information. The time data settings are set by using the
menu.
For details on the menu, see “Chapter 6 Adjusting and
Setting Through Menus” on page 76 (GB).
To set the initial time code value
This section describes how to set the time code’s initial
value.
Notes

Make sure to set REC MODE on the VTR SET menu
to DVCAM.

UB IN on the TC/UB SET menu to INTERNAL and
TC MAKE to PRESET beforehand.
For details on TC/UB IN and TC MAKE, see “TC/UB SET
menu” on page 78 (GB).
• While you are setting the initial time code value using
