REC SAME function
This function is used to record the same time code and user bit values on VTR1 and VTR2 when both machines are in the
record (NORMAL REC) mode. The values from the time code generator (TCG) and user bit generator (UBG) are recorded on
both VTR1 and VTR2.
Turning on the REC SAME function
! Set the VTR to the stop mode.
@ Switch to the set-up menu.
# Set VTR2 item No. 507 to VTR1TC (0004).
$ Set the OPERATION MODE switch on the front keyboard to SEP.
<Note>
The REC SAME function causes the time codes and user bits recorded on VTR1 and VTR2 to match only while both are in the
record (NORMAL REC) mode. Therefore, if VTR1 is not in the record (NORMAL REC) mode, the time codes recorded on the
VTR2 may lack continuity. The same user bit values continue to be recorded. Also, VTR2 always uses the TCG and UBG of
VTR1 for regeneration, regardless of the setting for item No. 507 (TC MODE).
REC THROUGH function
When a multiple number of VTRs have been connected in a daisy-chain configuration using TC IN/OUT (LTC), this function
enables recording by using TC IN/OUT (LTC) so that the master VTR’s time code generator value will serve as the reference
TC for all the VTRs.
<Note>
In the case of the master VTR, set the TC OUT output timing to TCOUT1 irrespective of the TC MODE.
In the case of the slave VTRs, set the TC OUT output timing to TCOUT1 when E-LTC is selected as the TC MODE.
