It is for selecting the time to elapse before
the tape protection mode is established
when the VTR has been left standing in
the STOP or search STILL (JOG, SLOW

provided in the tape protection mode.
Either of these can be set for STOP and
SEARCH STILL.
• The cumulative standby time at the
same tape position increases when

order to protect the tape, it is
recommended that the shortest possible

During recording:
The time code detected from the

Note:
During playback:
The time code and user bit are controlled during tape
playback by the data which has been recorded in the SBC
area. This means that all the data recorded in the SBC
area alone is used as the data which is to be indicated on
the counter display section in the middle of the front panel
or in the superimposed display, or as the data which is to
be transmitted to the editing controller or other unit.
The time code recorded in the
VAUX area is output as the VITC.
Notes:
• The time code detected from the input
video signal is automatically recorded in
the VAUX area while pictures are being
recorded.
• If Y PB PR, CMPST, S-VIDEO or SDI is
selected as the input signal, the VITC
output during recording is a timecode
