Time code
The
“time
code,”
which
is
based
on
the
time
code
signal
generated
by
the
time
code
signal
generator,
recorded
on
tape,
and
read
out
by
the
time
code
signal
reader,
is
used
to
display
absolute
positions
on
the
tape
in
units
of
“hours:minutes:seconds:frames.”
Knowing
an
absolute
position
makes
it
possible
to
conduct
editing

ENGLISH
There
are
two
types
of
time
codes:
LTC
(longitudinal
time
code)
and
VITC
(vertical
interval
time
code).
The
LTC
is
recorded on
the
tape’s
normal audio
CH2 track.
It
is
used
to record
the position
information
on
the
tape and
user's bit
information.
The VITC is recorded in the vertical blanking period of the video signals so that even without using the normal audio
CH2
track,
it
is
used
to
record
the
information
regarding
position
on
the
tape
and
user’s
bit
information.
