# Time code section

1. <HOLD> button

   The time data indication on the counter display area is retained for the duration that this button is held down. However, the time code generator continues to advance. Press the button again to release the retained state.

   This function is used to learn the time code or time data of the time counter display (CTL) of a particular recorded scene.

2. <RESET> button

   Resets the time data (CTL) of the time counter display to [00:00:00:00].

   To return the real time data to factory settings, set the <TCG> switch to the <SET> position and press the <RESET> button. Both the time code data and user bits data are reset to 0.

3. <DISPLAY> (counter display selector) switch (Time code indications)

   Displays the CTL, time code and user bits in the time counter display of the status display according to the setting position of the <DISPLAY> and <TCG> switches.

   The shooting date, shooting time and time zone can also be displayed by pressing the <HOLD> button.

   <UB> | Displays the users bits, shooting date, shooting time, and time zone.
   <TC> | Displays the time code.
   <CTL> | Displays CTL.

4. <TCG> (time code selector) switch

   Sets the advance mode for the built-in time code generator.

   <F-RUN> | Used to advance the time code continuously, regardless of the P2 card recording operation. Set to this position to, for example, set the time code to the current time or externally lock the time code.
   <SET> | Used to set the time code or user bits.
   <R-RUN> | Used to advance the time code only during recording. Records continuously time codes on P2 cards that have been spliced together.

5. <SDI IN> terminal (Externally locking the time code)

   Input reference signals when setting the generator lock on the camera unit or when externally locking the time code.

   NOTE

   - Be sure to set the SDI signals to input to signals of the same format selected in the system mode on the camera.

6. <GENLOCK IN> terminal (Externally locking the time code)

   Input reference signals when setting the generator lock on the camera unit or when externally locking the time code.

7. <TC OUT> terminal (Externally locking the time code)

   Connect to the time code input terminal of the external device when locking the time code of the external device to the time code on the camera.

8. <TC IN> terminal (Externally locking the time code)

   Input the reference time code to this terminal when the time code is locked.
