Setting the Time Code

Setting the Time Code
While recording, the camera can generate a time code signal and embed it in your recordings. You can have the
camera output the time code signal from the 3G-SDI terminals, MON. terminals, HD/SD SDI terminal or TIME
CODE terminal (
A
91). In addition, you can superimpose the time code on video output from the HDMI OUT
terminal or SYNC OUT terminal. While playing back video recorded on a CF card, you can output the time code
on the CF card from the HD/SD SDI terminal or TIME CODE terminal. Additionally, you can superimpose the time
code on the picture from the HDMI OUT terminal or SYNC OUT terminal. For recordings with a frame rate of
29.97P, 59.94i or 59.94P, you can also select between a drop frame and non-drop frame time code.
To synchronize the camera’s time code to an external time code generator, refer to
Synchronizing with an
External Device
(

Selecting the Running Mode
During MXF mode, you can select the running mode of the camera’s time
code. During 4K and 2K modes, the running mode will be set to [Free
Run] during normal shooting and slow & fast recording mode; it will be set
to [Rec Run] during interval recording and frame recording modes. You
can set the time code’s initial value, however, by performing the procedure
in the following section
Setting the Time Code’s Initial Value
.

code’s initial value, see the following section

Options
Operating modes:
[Preset]:
The time code starts from an initial value you can select in
advance. The default initial time code is 00:00:00.00. The time
code’s running mode depends on the [Run] setting.
[Rec Run]: The time code runs only while recording so clips
recorded consecutively on the same CF card will have
continuous time codes.
[Free Run]:The time code starts running the moment you press
SET to select this option and keeps running regardless
of the camera’s operation.
[Regen.]: The camera will read the selected CF card and the time code will
continue from the last recorded time code on the CF card. The
time code runs only while recording so clips recorded
consecutively on the same CF card will have continuous time
codes.
