Chapter 1 Overview
When the count value of the counter is negative, “–”
appears as the first digit (leftmost digit). When that
value is positive, the first digit is blank. When the
format of the displayed time code is the drop frame
mode, the drop frame indicator is displayed as a
period between the minutes and seconds (i.e.,
00:12.58:00).
When user bits are displayed, the space between hour,
minute, and second becomes blanked.
Notes
• In the playback mode, if the tape has a portion where
recorded signals are not continuous:
– The count value of the counter may not advance
correctly from that portion.
– The displayed value of the time code or user bits
may be temporarily inaccurate.
• When the unit plays back a part of the tape where the
recorded system has been changed between 50i and
60i, the displayed value may be inaccurate.
• When the unit plays back a part of the tape where the
recording format has been changed among HDV,
DVCAM and DV, the displayed value may be
inaccurate.
• The counter operates on a ±12-hour cycle. You
cannot make the counter operate on a 24-hour cycle.
• The count value of the counter consists of seven
digits. The tens place of the “hour” is not displayed.
(i.e., If the actual count value is “11:22:11:22”, the
displayed value will be “1:22:11:22.”) However, the
unit recognizes that the hours value is “11”.
