Setting Timecode
There are the following four ways of recording timecode:
Internal Preset mode: This records the output of the 
internal timecode generator, set beforehand to an 
initial value. The following run modes can be 
selected.
• Free Run: Timecode advances continually.
• Rec Run: Timecode advances only during 
recording.
Internal Regen mode: This records the output of the 
internal timecode generator, initialized to timecode 
following continuously upon the timecode of the last 
frame of the last clip on the disc.
External Regen mode: This records the output of the 
internal timecode generator, synchronized to an 
external timecode generator. As the external input, the 
timecode input to any of the following connectors can 
be selected.
• TIME CODE IN connector: TC
• HDSDI INPUT connector: LTC
External Preset mode: This directly records the input of 
an external timecode generator. As the external input, 
the timecode input to any of the TIME CODE IN 
connector can be selected.
To record timecode after setting an initial 
value (Internal Preset)
