Setting the Time Code
In mode, the camcorder can generate a time code signal and embed it in your recordings. You can have
the camcorder output the time code signal from the HD/SD SDI terminal or TIME CODE terminal (A 90). In
mode, you can output the time code of the clip being played back through the same terminals.
Additionally, you can superimpose the time code on video output from the HDMI OUT terminal or SYNC OUT
terminal. For NTSC recordings, you can also select between a drop frame and non-drop frame time code.
To synchronize the camcorder’s time code to an external time code generator, refer to
Synchronizing with an
External Device
(A 88).
Selecting the Running Mode
You can select the running mode of the camcorder’s time code.
1 Open the time code [Mode] submenu.
[¤ TC/UB Setup] > [Time Code] > [Mode]
2 Select the desired option and then press SET.
• If you selected [Regen.], you do not need to perform the rest of this
procedure. If you selected [Preset] and would like to set the time
code’s initial value, see the following section
Setting the Time Code’s
Initial Value
.
3 After you select [Preset], open the time code [Run] submenu.
[¤ TC/UB Setup] > [Time Code] > [Run]
4 Select the desired option and then press SET.
Options
Operating modes:
[Preset]: The time code starts from an initial value you can select in
advance. The default initial time code is 00:00:00.00. The time
code’s running mode depends on the [Run] setting.
[Rec Run]: The time code runs only while recording so clips
recorded consecutively on the same CF card will have
continuous time codes.
[Free Run]:The time code starts running the moment you press
SET to select this option and keeps running regardless
of the camcorder’s operation.
[Regen.]: The camcorder will read the selected CF card and the time code
will continue from the last recorded time code on the CF card. The
time code runs only while recording so clips recorded
consecutively on the same CF card will have continuous time
codes.
