To synchronize to time code input to the TC IN
connector
• Set the INT/EXT/RP188 switch to EXT and the
PRESET/REGEN switch to REGEN.
• Set extended menu item 629 “TC SELECT” to “tc.”
To synchronize to VITC in an input video signal
• Set the INT/EXT/RP188 switch to EXT and the
PRESET/REGEN switch to REGEN.
• Set extended menu item 629 “TC SELECT” to
“vitc.”
To synchronize to SMPTE RP188 LTC in an SDI
signal
Set the INT/EXT/RP188 switch to RP188 and the
PRESET/REGEN switch to REGEN.
To synchronize to i.LINK TC
• Set the INT/EXT/RP188 switch to EXT and the
PRESET/REGEN switch to REGEN.
• Set extended menu item 629 “TC SELECT” to “tc.”
To synchronize to i.LINK VITC
• Set the INT/EXT/RP188 switch to EXT and the
PRESET/REGEN switch to REGEN.
• Set extended menu item 629 “TC SELECT” to
“vitc.”
For details of menu setting operations, see Chapter 7
“Menus” on page 89.
This starts the internal time code generator running in
synchronization with the external time code generator.
Once the internal time code generator is synchronized
with the external time code generator, even if the
external time code generator connection is removed,
the internal time code generator continues to run.
Notes
• When the input video signal selected is i.LINK or SDI,
setting the INT/EXT/RP188 switch to EXT and the
PRESET/REGEN switch to REGEN automatically
synchronizes the internal time code generator to the time
code received through the S400 (i.LINK) connector or
SDI IN connector.
• When the INT/EXT/RP188 switch is set to EXT and the
PRESET/REGEN switch is set to REGEN, the internal
time code advance mode and frame count mode (for 525
line mode only) are automatically set as follows.
Advance mode: free running
Frame count mode (for 525 line mode only): the same
as the external time code signal (drop frame or non-
drop frame)
To check the synchronization to the external
signal
Press the STOP button to stop this unit, then press the REC
button.
Check that the time code value shown in the time data
display coincides with the external time code value.
To record external time code directly
You can record both of the following types of external time
code directly.
• TC input to the TC IN connector of this unit
• i.LINK TC input to the S400 (i.LINK) connector of
this unit
• SMPTE RP-188 LTC in an SDI signal input to the SDI
IN connector of this unit
When you use this method, the internal time code
generator advances without being affected by the external
time code.
To record the playback time code of external VTRs, the
methods described above in “To record with the internal
time code generator synchronized to external time code”
are recommended.
Use the following procedure to record external time code
directly, according to the type of external time code.
1
Make either of the following connections and settings.
To directly record TC input to the TC IN connector
Connect the time code output from the external device
to the TC IN connector. Press the VIDEO INPUT SEL
button and, while viewing the time data display or the
video panel, select one of SDI, COMPOSITE, or SG.
To directly record i.LINK TC
Connect an i.LINK signal to the S400 (i.LINK)
connector. Press the VIDEO INPUT SEL button and,
while viewing the time data display or the video panel,
select i.LINK.
