Chapter 3 Preparation — Setting of time data
Time code function during battery replacement
The operation of the time code generator will continue by the backup mechanism functioning even when replacing the battery.
The time code of the free run may shift when any item in the [SYSTEM] menu → [FREQUENCY], [FILE FORMAT], or [REC FORMAT] is changed. Set
the power to < j > (ON) again, conrm the time code, and set it again if necessary.
Time code in variable frame rate recording/super slow recording
The time code is xed to [REC RUN] when the variable frame rate recording function or the super slow recording function is enabled. The time code will
advance while recording at a speed corresponding to the ratio of the recording frame frequency of [REC FORMAT] and the setting values in the [SCENE
FILE] menu → [FRAME RATE].
As an example, the time code will advance 60/24 frames per second (two seconds 12 frames) when the recording frame frequency of [REC FORMAT] is
set to 23.98p and the [SCENE FILE] menu → [FRAME RATE] is set to [60fps].
f The time code output from the <TC IN/OUT> terminal or the <SDI OUT> terminal is advanced in 1x speed from the exact start of recording.
Presetting the time code to external
The internal time code generator of the camera can be slave locked in a simplied manner to an external generator.
Connection example of the camera and an external generator
Connect the reference time come to the <TC IN/OUT> terminal.
Reference time code
External lock
Externally lock the time code.
f Connect the camera to an external generator in advance.
1
Select the [RECORDING] menu → [TC/UB] → [FREE/REC RUN] → [FREE RUN].
2
Select the [RECORDING] menu → [TC/UB] → [TC IN/OUT SEL] → [TC IN].
3
Enter the external time code to the <TC IN/OUT> terminal.
[TCG] in the camera image screen will be displayed in black and white inversion.
Enter the time code matching the setting in the [SYSTEM] menu → [REC FORMAT] as the reference time code.
Enter the time code of the non-drop frame as well for 23.98p, 25.00p, 50.00p, and 50.00i.
@
NOTE
t Do not slave lock to the externally input time code but automatically advance with internal reference during recording or rec remote controlling of
the external recording device.
The time code value may overlap or drop out after recording or ending rec remote due to performing slave lock to the time code input from
external.
t Since this camera does not have a genlock system, the time code may shift one frame.
t Once the slave lock is performed, it will maintain the slave lock status even when the input from the <TC IN/OUT> terminal is gone. However, the
slave lock status will be cleared in following cases.
‑ When the time code is set in [TC PRESET]
‑ When the power is turned off
‑ When switched [DF]/[NDF]
‑ When set to [REC RUN]
‑ When the variable frame rate recording function or super slow recording function is enabled
t The pre-recording will be discarded once when the slave lock is performed during pre-recording.
t The number of frames for the record start time code may not be a multiple of four when the recording frame frequency of [REC FORMAT] is set to
23.98p.
t External locks by user bits are not supported.
