24 Hour Run Timecode Mode
Generator mode. Timecode runs continuously. When this Timecode Mode is selected or when the
time/date is altered, the timecode value is jammed to the value of the time-of-day clock. The value
can be set by “jamming value” in the Setup Menu options [TIMECODE/SYNC - Jam Received TC] or
[TIMECODE/SYNC - Jam Time Of Day]. The value can also be set manually from Setup Menu option
[TIMECODE/SYNC - Set Generator TC].
24h Run Auto Mute
Functions the same as 24h Run mode except timecode signal is muted from the timeocde output
when the 970 is in Stopped mode. This allows rec-run functionality when Rec Run mode is not suit-
able (e.g. Multi-camera shoots).
External Timecode Mode
Reader mode. The 970’s internal timecode generator follows an external timecode signal appearing
at the BNC Timecode Input. If the external timecode is removed, the internal generator continues to
run to preserve continuous timecode.
External Timecode Halt Mode
Reader mode. Identical to normal External Timecode mode, except that when external timecode
is removed (signal is lost), the internal timecode does not continue. When Setup Menu option
[Remote Control - Rec Start/Stop] is set to Timecode, this mode will cause the 970 to stop record-
ing when timecode signal is disconnected or invalid (In addition to stopping when stationary time-
code is received).
