			processing in the non-drop
			frame mode when the
			frame rate has been set to
			24 fps.
UB MODE	USER	USER	For setting what is to be

	TCG		DATE : Real time value for
				year/month/day/
				hours.
			TIME	: Real time value for
				hours/minutes/
				seconds.
			EXT	: The UBG value is
				slave-locked when
				a TC signal is
				supplied from an
				external source.
				(The user setting is
				used when no
				external input is
				supplied.)
			TCG	: Time code
				generator value
			<Note>

			PRESET:
			The time code set on the
			tape is not regenerated.
			However, it is forcibly
			regenerated when the

<Note>

When USER is set for the UB MODE item, it is not possible to set EXT for the VITC UB MODE item.

Similarly, it is not possible to set EXT for the UB MODE item when USER has been set for the VITC UB MODE item.

The underlining in the variable range column indicates the setting in the preset mode.

This unit automatically stores as the tape management information both the frame rate information which indicates the shooting speed and the active frame information which indicates the first frame where the frame image was switched in the user’s bit of the sub-code track area (this used to be the LTC area). This information is output from the TC OUT connector and HD SDI OUT connector. Further, the active frame information is stored in the least significant digit of the user’s bit while the frame rate information is stored in its lower third and fourth digits.

<Notes>

OWhen “DATE,” “TCG” or “USER” has been selected as the UB MODE item setting on the TC/UB screen, the tape management information is output from the least significant digit to the lower fourth digit of the user’s bit, so no other user’s bit information will be output.

OThe tape management information is not output as the user’s bit information in the VIDEO AUX area (this used to be the VITC area).
