4-1 Recording
Notes
• When the input video signal selected is i.LINK or SDI, 
(the INPUT display shows i.LINK or SDI), then setting 
extended menu item 626 “TC MODE” to “ext regen” 
automatically synchronizes the internal time code 
generator to the time code received through the  S400 
(i.LINK) connector or SDI IN connector.
• When extended menu item 626 “TC MODE” is set to 
“ext regen,” the internal time code advance mode and 
frame count mode (for 525 line mode only) are 
automatically set as follows.
Advance mode: free running
Frame count mode (for 525 line mode only): the same 
as the external time code signal (drop frame or non-
drop frame)
To check the synchronization to the external 
signal
Press the STOP button to stop this unit, then press the REC 
button.
Check that the time code value shown in the time data 
display coincides with the external time code value.
To record external time code directly
You can record both of the following types of external time 
code directly. 
• VITC input to the TIME CODE IN connector of this unit
• i.LINK TC input to the  S400 (i.LINK) connector of 
this unit
When you use this method, the internal time code 
generator advances without being affected by the external 
time code.
To record the playback time code of external VTRs, the 
methods described above in “To record with the internal 
time code generator synchronized to external time code” 
are recommended.
Use the following procedure to record external time code 
directly, according to the type of external time code.
1
Make either of the following connections and settings.
To directly record VITC input to the TIME CODE 
IN connector
Connect the time code output from the external device 
to the TIME CODE IN connector. Press the VIDEO 
INPUT SEL button and, while viewing the INPUT 
display, select one of SDI, CMPST, or SG.
To directly record i.LINK TC
Connect an i.LINK signal to the  S400 (i.LINK) 
connector. Press the VIDEO INPUT SEL button and, 
while viewing the INPUT display, select i.LINK.
2
Press the MENU button and set extended menu item 
626 “TC MODE” to “ext preset.”
For details of menu setting operations, see Chapter 8 
“Menus” on page 85.
