CTL CTL

1) LTC and VITC
LTC cannot be read when the tape speed is very slow or is changed
suddenly. VITC, on the other hand, can be read more accurately than LTC
when this unit is stopped or the tape speed is very low. VITC, however,
cannot be read when the tape speed is very fast.
2) CTL signals
CTL (control) signals are pulse signals that are recorded horizontally in
each frame.
3) User bits
These represent supplementary information as part of the recorded time
code, and consist of eight hexadecimal digits (0-9 and A-F).
Time data for IN and OUT points are also displayed.

Selecting the time data display

Press the [F1] (TIMER SEL) button repeatedly to select the
desired time data display.
CTL: Counts the CTL signals on the playback tape, and
displays the tape running time in hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames.

Depending on the time code recorded on a tape, VITC or
LTC appears on the display.
