Setting the User Bit

Setting the User Bit

The user bit display can be selected from the date or the time of recording, or an identification code consisting of 8 characters in the hexadecimal system. There are sixteen possible characters: the numbers 0 to 9 and the letters A to F.

In addition to being recorded with MXF clips, the user bit information can be output along with the video signal output from the 3G/HD-SDI terminal*, MON. terminal*, TIME CODE terminal* or HDMI OUT terminal. Conversely, if user bit information is being received along with an external time code, you can also record the external user bit on the recording media.
