4-3-5 Selecting the Drop Frame
Mode (DF/NDF)
Press the [F9] (DF/NDF) button to select the running mode
for the CTL counter and the time code generator.
DF: Drop frame mode
1)
(DF is displayed.)
NDF: Non-drop frame mode
2)
(NDF is displayed.)
auto: The unit switches to drop frame mode when the field
frequency is 29.97 Hz, and switches to non-drop
frame mode when the field frequency is 30 Hz.
1) Drop frame mode
In order to compensate for differences between time code values from the
time code generator and the actual time that occurs when the frame
frequency of this unit is 29.97 Hz, the drop frame mode causes the time
code generator to omit the first two frames (frame 00 and 01) in each
minute except the tenth.
2) Non-drop frame mode
In this mode, drop frame mode processing is not performed. Since there is
no frame cutting, a discrepancy of about 86 seconds occurs each day in the
case of a frame frequency of 29.97 Hz.
• This setting is only active when the frame frequency of
the unit is 29.97 Hz or 30 Hz.
• When the [F7] (TCG MODE) button is set to “regene”,
the drop frame mode is inoperative since the time code
generator is synchronized to the playback time code.
