UMID Functions
UMIDs can be recorded when recording video signals
with this unit. You can select whether to inherit (copy)
the UMID contained in input signals, or automatically
or forcibly generate a new UMID.
Selecting the type of UMID to record
Select whether to record a Basic UMID or an Extended
UMID by using setup menu item 655 UMID
RECORDING.
See page 10-22 for more information about setup menu item
655.
Selecting whether to inherit or generate
the UMID
When recording a UMID, you can select whether to
inherit (copy) the UMID contained in input signals, or
generate a new UMID. Make this selection by using
setup menu item 656 MATERIAL NO.
See page 10-22 for more information about setup menu item
656.
Selecting the Instance Number generation
method when inheriting UMIDs
If you choose to inherit the UMID contained in input
signals, almost all of the information in the UMID is
copied without change, but the Instance Number
changes to a value which indicates that “this UMID is
a copy”. The new value can be generated from a 16-bit
pseudo-random number with the addition of the
number of copies (1 byte), or it can be generated from
a 24-bit pseudo-random number. Select the method
used to generate the Instance Number by using setup
menu item 654 UMID GENERATE METHOD.
See page 10-22 for more information about setup menu item
654.
Selecting the SDI VANC line to inset the
UMID
You can select the VANC
1)
line into which the
generated UMID should be inserted. Make this
selection by using setup menu item 653 UMID HD
VANC LINE.
See page 10-22 for more information about setup menu item
653.
