Description
[USER]
(only [UBG MODE])
Records internal user values. User values can be entered on the status display. Setting values are held even when the power is
turned off.
For details, refer to “How to input user bits” (page 95).
[USER/EXT]
(only [VITC UBG MODE])
Records internal user values as VITC UB.
Same value as the user bit that is displayed when [UBG MODE] is set to [USER] or [EXT].
[TIME]
Records the time measured by the internal clock.
[DATE]
Records the hour digit of year/month/day/date-time measured by the internal clock.
[EXT]
(only [UBG MODE])
Records the user bit values currently input to the <TC IN> terminal. User values held internally also change this input value.
[TCG]
Records the time code value.
[FRAME RATE]
Records the camera shooting frame rate information. When playing back clips recorded in native format, the same frame rate
information as VITC UB is output regardless of the recorded value.
Use the camera at this setting when the editing device such as a computer uses the frame rate information of the user bits.
[REGEN]
Reads the user bit last recorded to P2 card that is currently to be recorded to and recording this value as it is.
How to input user bits
By setting user bits, information such as memos (date, time) up to eight digits long (hexadecimal) can be recorded.
