*1 When [UB MODE] is set to [FRM.RATE], the pull-down frame rate information read out from VITC UB is output during native clip playback. *2 With [EXT], UB of the <TC IN/OUT> terminal is slaved.

*3 This becomes valid when the production pack (extra-cost option) is installed.

User bits settings

Set the user bits to record to sub-code area by the [UB MODE] item on the setting menu [RECORDING SETUP] screen.

Item name	Description
[USER]	Records internal user values. User values can be set at [UBG] on the [SET01:TC/UB] screen of SmartUI. Setting values are held even
	when the power is turned off.
	For details, refer to “How to input user bits” (page 66).
[TIME]	Records the time measured by the internal clock.
[DATE]	Records the hour digit of year/month/day/date-time measured by the internal clock.
[EXT]	Records the user bit values currently input to the <TC IN/OUT> terminal.
[TCG]	The time code value is recorded.
[FRM.RATE]	The camera photo frame rate information is recorded.
	When playing back clips recorded in native format, the same frame rate information as VITC UB is output regardless of the recorded
	value. Use at this setting when the editing device such as a computer uses the frame rate information of the user bits.
	For details, refer to “Frame rate information recorded to user bits” (page 67).

ffSet to [EXT] when the user bits are slaved to the values currently input to the <TC IN/OUT> terminal. ffWhile the user bits are slaved, the [UB] display is inverted.

ffOnce the time code is slaved, the slave state is maintained even if there are no longer inputs to the <TC IN/OUT> terminal. However, the slave state of the user bits is canceled in the following instances:

-- When the [UB MODE] item is set to other than [EXT] -- When [UB PRESET] has been performed

-- When the power is turned off

Slaved values are held for the internal user values even after the slave state is canceled.

How to input user bits

By setting user bits, information such as memos (date, time) up to eight digits long (hexadecimal) can be recorded.
