Time Code
Time Code signals
are
the data which indicates the time
in
hours,
minutes,
seconds and frames
(30
frames/sec).
Having
this data included
in the
recording gives every
single
picture on the
tape
its
own
address.
•
The Time
Code
is
automatically recorded as part of the
sub code with every recording you make.
•
When you insert a new (previously unrecorded)
cassette, the Time Code automatically
starts from
zero.
If
you
insert
a
recorded
cassette, the Time Code
continues
where
the time
code of the last previous
scene stopped.
(In this case, the zero indication
[0h:00m:00s:00f]
may appear
after inserting
the
cassette, but when the recording starts, the Time
Code
records from
the previous value.)
•
You cannot reset the Time
Code to zero.
•
In playback
modes
other
than
the Normal Playback
Mode, the
Time Code may not be displayed
(or
not
be
correct).
•
Unless the Time
Code
is
recorded continuously
from
the
beginning of the tape,
precise
editing may not
be
possible. To
ensure that the Time
Code
is recorded
without interruption,
we recommend that
you use the
Camera
Search Function
(^
31)
or Blank
Search
Function
(^
32)
before
starting to record
a
new
scene.
