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
“23.98P Output” (page 109) is set to “23.98PsF” for
1920/23.98P in E-E Display/Recording 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 HDMI OUT connectors
with “23.98P Output” (page 109) set to “23.98PsF”
for 1920/23.98P in, 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 E-E Display/Recording 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.
