Frame rate information recorded in user bits
The frame rate value of video data captured and recorded at a frame rate set in the menu option FRAME RATE or other options in the SYSTEM SETUP screen can be recorded in the user bits and be used in editing equipment (personal computer editing software).
This type of data is recorded in VITC UB at all times.
Setting the setting menu UB MODE to FRM RATE, records the information also to the user bits.
The same value as in the frame rate information obtained from VITC UB playback is also output as LTC UB during playback of clips recorded in native format.
