It displays any external source’s user-bits, if any.

Generator – TC comes from the internal generator.
Disk – TC comes from the file being recorded or played-back. The Generator T.C. field contains:
o While in Playback – TC at the current place in the Take.
o While in Playback and press Stop – TC at the point where playback will re-start (by pressing PLAY key)
o While in Record – TC being recorded during the Take, as it happens.
o While in Record and press Stop – TC for the start of the last Take.
NOTE: When you have a timecode device attached (i.e. IFB100) that is forwarding timecode to recorders (i.e.
TRX900) and you want to use the Auto-Load setting in the distant recorders, use Disk here.
