Chapter 4 Shooting — Setting the time data
Frame rate information recorded on user bits
Saving the frame rate values for the image information shot/saved according to the frame rate set in the main menu → [SYSTEM MODE] to user bits
allows you to use the editor (personal computer editing software).
Information is always saved in VITC UB.
In addition, selecting [FRAME RATE] in the main menu
→ [RECORDING SETUP] → [UBG MODE] saves the information in user bits (LTC UB) as well.
The same value as in the frame rate information obtained from VITC UB playback is also output as LTC UB during playback of clips recorded in native
format.
Frame rate information
The relationship between frame rates, image pull-down, and time codes/user bits is as follows.
