Restrictions on the timecode
The timecode setting is restricted by the current
video format.
1)The frame digits in “Setting” is limited to 00, 04, 08,
12, 16, and 20.
The frame at the beginning of recording is limited to
00, 04, 08, 12, 16, or 20.
As the SDI OUT connector output becomes 60i
because of the 2-3 pull-down process except when
“24P System” (page 125) is set to “24PsF” for 1920/
24P in Camera mode, the frame digits of the timecode
added to the SDI OUT connector output are changed
to values in the range of 00 to 29.
2)Even in Clock mode, the timecode is gradually
shifted, because it is counted by NDF.
As any output becomes 2-3 pulled-down video except
those from the SDI OUT and COMPONENT OUT
connectors with “24P System” (page 125) set to
“24PsF” for 1920/24P in Camera mode, there may be
a field that has dual timecodes on the display.
3)With DF, the frame digits can be set as desired in the
range of 00 to 29.
With NDF, the frame at the beginning of recording is
limited to 00, 05, 10, 15, 20, or 25.
You can add a hexadecimal number of 8 digits for
pictures as the user bits.
The user bits can also be set to the current date.
Use “Users Bit” of the TC/UB SET menu.
Setting eight digits as desired
1 Set “Mode” of “Users Bit” to “Fix.”
2 Specify the values on the Setting line
and select “SET.”
You can set hexadecimal digits A to F with
the corresponding alphabetics.
Recording the current date as the user
bits
Set “Mode” of “Users Bit” to “Date.”
The current date is displayed on the Setting line.
In Camera mode, pressing the DISPLAY/BATT
INFO button displays the time data on the screen.
The indication is switched among the timecode,
user bits, and recording duration each time you
press the TC/U-BIT/DURATION button.
