2
Press the DISPLAY button of the LCD monitor to
display TC on the counter display section.
3
Set the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to PRESET.
4
Set the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to SET.
The first (left-most) digit of time code flashes.
5
Use the arrow key to set the time code value including
the last (right-most) digit of the time code.
To reset the time code value to 00:00:00:00, press the
RESET button of the LCD monitor.
6
Set the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to the desired
operating mode for the time code generator.
F-RUN: Free run. The time code generator keeps
running.
R-RUN: Recording run. The time code generator runs
only while recording.
To set the DF (drop frame)/NDF (non-drop frame)
mode
You can select the drop frame (DF) mode or non-drop
frame (NDF) mode on the FUNCTION 1 page of the
OPERATION menu.
When the scan mode is 24P, see “Setting the CCD scan
mode (DSR-450WS/450WSP only)” on page 107 (DSR-
450WS only).
To make the time code consecutive
When the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch is set to R-RUN,
recording a number of scenes on the tape normally
produces consecutive time code. However, once you
remove the cassette and record on another cassette, the
time code will no longer be contiguous even when you use
again the original cassette for recording.
In this case, to make the time code consecutive, proceed as
follows.
1
Set the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to REGEN.
2
Use the EDIT SEARCH +FWD/–REV button to select
the point where the recording should be start again.
This reads the previous recording and synchronizes the
internal time code generator, thus allowing the new
time code to be recorded consecutively.
To save the actual time in the time code
Setting the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to CLOCK
saves the actual time in the time code. When it is necessary
to set the actual time, use the TIME/DATE page of the
DIAGNOSIS menu.
For details, see “Setting the date/time of the internal
clock” on page 105.
When the scan mode is 24P, see “Setting the CCD scan
mode (DSR-450WS/450WSP only)” on page 107 (DSR-
450WS only).
To set the user bits
By setting the user bits (up to 8 hexadecimal digits), you
can record user information such as the date, time, or scene
number on the time code track.
1
Press the DISP SEL button of the LCD monitor to
display the STATUS screen.
2
Press the DISPLAY button on the LCD monitor to
display U-BIT in the counter display section.
3
Set the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to SET.
The first (left-most) digit flashes.
4
Use the arrow key to set the time code value including
the last (right-most) digit of time code.
Hexadecimal digits A to F are displayed as A to F in
capital letters.
To reset the user bit data to 00 00 00 00, press the
RESET button of the LCD monitor.
5
Set the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to the desired
operating mode for the time code generator.
F-RUN: Free run. The time code generator keeps
running.
R-RUN: Recording run. The time code generator runs
only while recording.
To synchronize the time code
You can synchronize the internal time code generator of
this camcorder with an external generator for the
regeneration of an external time code. You can also
