Focus Enhancements DVCPRO50 User Manual

The following are timecode (

) functions. 

•

 

 

Records the incoming source timecode. If the timecode is not 

running, the FS-100 records the same timecode number in 

each recorded frame. Choose 

 mode to clear any stored 

number.

•

 

In this mode, after a power cycle, the FS-100 starts its TC 

record count using the 

 value. Later recordings add to 

the last value recorded. A power cycle resets the TC record 

value to the 

 value.

•

 

This function causes the FS-100 to begin counting from the 

value stored by 

. 

A number entered through 

 is not stored and 

available to the FS-100 until exiting 

. Only then does 

the FS-100 begin counting using that number.

•

 

When the FS-100 powers up in 

 mode, it:

Reads the timecode of the last track recorded.
Adds 1 to the number.
Stores the new timecode as the number that will be 

assigned to the first frame of the next recording session.

If the drive is empty, i.e. no existing recordings with, the 

FS-100 uses the 

 value. 

TC SET and UB SET Can Be Set at the Same Time
Both parameters, TC SET and UB SET, may be set and are not mutually 
exclusive as in some groups, i.e. LCDLIGHT. 

TC EXT Recommended for Pull-down Applications
If the recording signal contains pull-down information in 720/60p format, 
the frame flag information contained is preserved in TC EXT mode and 
is required for the editing process.
