[Output Mode]
setting is set to [Pulldown], the user bit will be 2:3 pulldown data. In other words, when a 23.98P or 24.00P
recording is output from the HD/SD SDI terminal, the signal is converted to 59.94i / 59.94P or 60.00i / 60.00P
using the 2:3 pulldown method. An external device can receive the data used in this conversion (2:3 pulldown
data) to convert the signal to the original 1080/23.98P or 1080/24.00P specifications.
