User Bits
For monitoring a variable framerate (VFR) timecode (such as Varicam), you may wish to check the
User-bits box. If you set this checkbox, Avid Artist | DNxIV will detect and interpret the user-bits
and display them next to the checkbox. You will see the original framerate (30 fps in the figure
below) followed by the adjusted frame padding (two digits reporting discarded and retained frame
padding).

SMPTE 12M-2 is the updated name and specification for what was RP-188.
Presets Screen
After configuring the AJA Control Panel screens, you can then save all your settings as a snapshot for
later recall, called a preset. In this way, you can organize presets for all your typical tasks, eliminating
manual reconfiguration.
Saving, Loading and Deleting Presets
To save a preset, simply go to the Presets screen and click “Save Preset”. A dialog will be presented
asking you for a file name. Enter a meaningful name and click “OK”. Thereafter the preset will be
available under the Control Panel “Presets” list.
From the Presets screen you can manage your collection of presets easily. To Load or Delete a stored
preset, just select it with your mouse and then click the “Load Preset” or “Delete” button
respectively.
