To cancel the time code setting
Select [CANCEL] in step 5 in step 6, or press
TC RESET on the Remote Commander.
In case of operating the Remote Commander,
make sure that the time code is 00:00:00:00, and
then set [REMOTE CTRL] to [OFF].
To reset the time code
Select [RESET] in step 2 in step 6.
Drop frame mode
In the NTSC standard, the time code value is
based on 30 frames per second, but the exact
video frame frequency is in fact 29.97 frames
per second. Consequently the time code value
will deviate from the real time when recording
for long time.
Drop frame mode corrects for this by skipping 2
frame counts at the beginning of every minute
which is not a multiple of 10.
In non-drop frame mode, however, no frame
counts are omitted, and there is a gradual
deviation of the time code from the real time.
b Note
• In case of the i.LINK connection, if you start
recording when there is no video input signal, the
time code may not continue correctly.
• If you record HDV and DVCAM (DV) mixed, the
time code may be initialized at the backspace
editing.
• If you play back the tape recorded in HDV and
DVCAM (DV) mixed, the time code may not match
the picture at the backspace editing.
• If you set [TC MAKE] to [REGENERATE] in the
menu, [TC RUN] is automatically set to [REC
RUN].
• When [50i/60i SEL] on the (OTHERS) menu is
set to 50i, the non-drop frame mode is selected
automatically. You cannot change the frame mode.
• When recording in the HDV format, discrepancy of
3 frames at the maximum may occur.
• If you set [TC MAKE] to [REGENERATE], TC
PRESET on the Remote Commander does not work.
