The HD100/101 allows a free running time code. See User Reference page 38. Copy of the related paragraph follows here:

Presetting and Recording of Time Code
The time codes from the internal time code generator can be
recorded at the time of recording scenes.
• The TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen differs depending on
whether the FRAME RATE item on the VIDEO FORMAT
menu screen is “60/30” or “50/25”.
To preset the Time Code, make the following settings.
�� TC GENE. switch
Set to REC or FREE.
�� TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen (FRAME RATE: 60/30)
Use the DROP/NON DROP item to select the framing
mode for the time code generator.

�� TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen (FRAME RATE: 50/25)
Whether or not user’s bit data should be recorded can be
selected with the UB REC item on the TC/UB/CLOCK
menu screen.
TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen
(FRAME RATE: 60/30)
Framing mode:
Drop frame/
Non-drop setting
TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen
(FRAME RATE: 50/25)
REC : The data preset in the time code generator
runs only during recording.
Use this setting if it is necessary to record
continual time codes across different scenes.
* However, approximately ±1-frame variations
may occur in scene accuracy.
FREE : The time code starts to run from the time it is
preset in the time code generator.
