UMID information can be checked on the DIAG menu.

UMID information cannot be played back correctly by VTRs that do not support the recording and playback of UMID information. In addition, even if a VTR that does not support the recording and playback of UMID information is connected to this unit and recording performed, UMID information will not be recorded correctly.

Time codes
