Convenient Functions for Editing Operation

The TC insert function makes it possible to use the
internal time code generator to rewrite time code and
user bits when the time code recorded on a tape is
discontinuous.
You can start recording time code from an initial value
which can be set freely. (See page 33.)

• Use a tape which is recorded in the DVCAM format.

(You cannot use the TC insert function with a tape
recorded in DV format.)

• The time code recording starts from the tape position

at which this unit was servo-locked.  (From the
current tape position, there is about 3 seconds delay
at playback of normal speed or about 16 seconds
delay at playback of 4 times normal speed.)  To start
time code recording at the current tape position, first
rewind the tape by the time needed to allow the unit
to be servo-locked before reaching the current tape
position.

• If you use a tape on which ClipLink log data is

recorded, the ClipLink log data will be lost.
