Setting the User Bit
The user bit display can be selected from the date or the time of
recording, or an identification code consisting of 8 characters in the
hexadecimal system. There are sixteen possible characters: the numbers
0 to 9 and the letters A to F.
If user bit information is being received along with an external time code,
you can also record the external user bit on the recording media. The user
bit information can be output from the 3G-SDI terminals, MON. terminals
and HD/SD SDI terminals.
