(CTL time code is based on CTL signals. By modulating the duty proportion of CTL signals, “0° and “1” signals (bits) are generated. These signals are used to denote time ‘data and user bits data. One item of data is made up of one 2-second CTL signal containing 60 bits. Time data is indicated by 6-digt time information (hours, minutes, ‘seconds) and user bts data is indicated by 4-digit hexadecimal values(0-9,A-F). Each tem of CTL time code data is generated every 2 seconds. Frame addresses in between are interpolated with the CTL pulse. This makes it possible to denote the time code with frame-units accuracy. Thus, frame-accurate editing and cue-up are possible using the CTL time code system. CTL Time Code Recording I While CTL time code recording isin progress, the interpolation mark °"on the ‘monitor screen tumns of I When recording is attempted in the Regen mode with a drop-frame-recorded tape, the drop-frame mode is automatically engaged for recording Serer PSE nee ‘© This can be done with either the BR-SBOOU or RM-GBOOU. (1) Set the BR-S800U's REMOTE switch, ‘© When controling operations with the BR-S800U: Set to “LOCAL”. ‘* When controling operations with the RM-G800U: Set to “REMOTE”. (@) Set the COUNTER switch to "TO" or UB", (8) Rewind the tape to the beginning. (4) Pross the PLAY button while pressing the REC button to start recording. — Time code data is recorded from the value "00:00:00:00", ~ User bits data is recorded as “0000 NOTE: ‘© Do not engage the Record mode until tape-begin has been detected. CTL time code recording is not possibie from any point part way through the tape. ‘the Record-Pause or Stop mode is engaged during recording, CTL time code and user bits data will no longer be recorded. ICME Can CEE ‘© This can be done with either the BR-SBOOU or RM-GBOOU. (1) Select the BR-S800U's REMOTE switch as desired. (2) Set the COUNTER switch to “TO and start playback. '* Make sure that the interpolation mark “#" turns off on the monitor screen during playback. (8) Engage the Record mode directly from the Play mode by pressing the REC and PLAY buttons together. — Time code date is recorded following from the existing data. — User bits data remains the same.Assemble Editing/Time Code Insertion CTL time code assemble edting or time code insert must be done with the FIM-GBO0U. ‘Set the BR-SBOOU's REMOTE switch to “REMOTE” I Set the AM-G800U's Menu switch No.00 “PREROLL TIME" to “5 SECONDS" or longer. 1 When editing rom the beginning ofthe tape, first run the tape for a period longer than the preroll ime betore executing the edit.

Because each CTL time code data item is formed in 2 seconds, itis necessary to run the tape for more than 6 seconds to readout the data. When playing back a tape for less than 6 seconds, or a when playing a tape on which CTL time code thas been recorded for less than 6 seconds, correct data readout is not possible. (2) Do not record CTL time code on an EP-recorded tape. Itis not possible to set the counter mode for CTL time code it an EP-recorded tape is used, @) Bitloss at the edit points When assemble editingtime code insertion has been executed, information in the vicinity ofthe 8th bit willbe lost. However, time information between edits is not interrupted. (4) Atape with discontinuous time codes may not edit or cue up correctly. If there is any discontinuity in recorded time codes, a mattunction may occur in ‘editing of cue-up. When a tape contains such time codes, insert continuous time codes before using it, (8) Preroll time must not be less than § seconds. When preroll time is set to less than 5 seconds in the Regen mode, editing may be ‘executed before reading ofthe recorded time codes has been completed. In this cease, the Regen mode won't work correctly. (6) Editing trom the beginning of a tape When editing from the beginning of a tape, be sure to run the tape for ong enough to allow the time code to be read correctly (7) Drop frame indication at edit point Even with a tape recorded in the non-drop frame mode, the drop frame indication may sometimes be displayed for 2 seconds at the edit switching point (8) Drop frame mode availability The drop frame mode is available only for reading and writing n the Regen mode, Preset data writing in the drop trame mode is not possible,(9) User bits data that should not be used.

MAINPARTS REPLACEMENT TABLE Periodic inspection and maintenance are important to ensure the original capacity and reliability of the set, The following table shows just a maintenance and replacement standard that is compiled based on general and average use of the set. In actual, the periods will widely vary depending on environmental and usage conditions. If the inspection and maintenance work of the follow- ing items are improperly performed, it not only short- ens the periods but also gives bad influence on the set Also keep it in mind that rubber parts may deform and age even when the set is not used and the service life of the upper drum is particularly affected by environmental and usage conditons.

Therefore, it is strongly recommended to clean the tape transport system when a set is brought in for repair, etc. For cleaning, use fine wooven cotton cloth (like cotton shirting) moistened with ethylalcohol. (1) Dirty video head causes rough playback picture and non-reproduction of picture in an extreme case To clean the video heads, lightly press such cotton cloth as mentioned above to the upper drum while turning the upper drum. Note: Do not move the cleaning cloth on the upper drum since the video head is weak against vertical force. Otherwise, the video heads may be damaged. (2) Dirty tape guide not only gets the video heads dirty much more but also damages tapes. (3) Dirty and dusty brush causes snow noise in playback picture and non-picture reproduction. Note: When reinstalling the brush after cleaning. apply BEACON-325 grease to the drum shaft by the part where it contacts the brush, otherwise, it may cause jitters or other noise. 2.2.3 Oiling and greasing If oil or grease on the other party is dirty and aged in case of parts replacement, wipe it off and apply new oil or grease as well as to do it for new parts. (1) Oil and grease used in this set are as follows.
