26 Parts and their Functions: Time Code Section1. GENLOCK IN connector (BNC)This connector is used to input a reference signal beforethe camera unit is gen-locked, or before the time code isexternally locked.> [Externally Locking the Time Code] (page 68)2. SDI IN connector (BNC)When GENLOCK is set on the camera, or when the timecode is externally locked, reference signals are input.> [Externally Locking the Time Code] (page 68)NoteInput SDI signal must be the same format selected on thesystem mode menu of this unit.3. TC IN connector (BNC)This connector is used to input a reference time codewhen you externally lock the time code.> [Externally Locking the Time Code] (page 68)4. TC OUT connector (BNC)When you inter-lock the time code of camera-recorderwith that of an external device this must be connectedwith the time code input (TC IN) connector of theexternal device.> [Externally Locking the Time Code] (page 68)5. HOLD buttonPressing this button freezes the time data indication onthe counter. Note that time code generation continues.Pressing the button again reactivates the counter.This function is used to ascertain the time code or CTLcount of a particular recorded scene.6. RESET buttonThis button resets the time data (CTL) on the counter to“00:00:00:00”.If this button is pressed when with the 8.TCG (time codeselector) switch positioned at [SET], time code and userbits data are reset to 0, and real-time data is reset to theinitial value.7. DISPLAY (counter display selector) switchIndications of the time code, CTL and user bits on thecounter of the display window depend on the positionsof this switch and the 8.TCG (time code selector) switch.Pressing the 5.HOLD button also displays Date/Time/Time Zone.UB: User bits/DATE/TIME/Time zone indicated.TC: Time code indicated.CTL: CTL indicated.8. TCG (time code selector) switchThis switch is used to specify the stepping mode for thebuilt-in time code generator.F-RUN: Select this position to continuously advancethe time code independently of the P2 cardrecording status.Use this mode to synchronise the time codewith the time of day, or to externally lock thetime code.SET: Select this position to set the time code and/oruser bits.R-RUN: Select this position to advance the time codeonly during recording.For spliced scenes recorded on P2 cards, thesequence of time codes is unbroken.9. CURSOR and SET buttonsUse these buttons to set the time code and user bits.The four triangular buttons are the CURSOR buttons,and the center rectangular one is the SET button.> [Setting Time Data] (page 62)Time Code Section985 6 72 4 31
