Setting the time data
When the user’s bit and time code are both to be used, the user’s bit is set first.
If the time code is set first, the time code generator will stop while the user’s bit is being set so that the time code setting will be off.
The time code setting range extends from 00:00:00:00 to 23:59:59:29.

O When DATE is selected from the UB MODE items, the real time operations for year/month/day of the TIME/DATE screen are adhered to.
O When TIME is selected from the UB MODE items, the real time operations for hours/minutes/seconds of the TIME/DATE screen are adhered to.
O The user’s bit setting contents are output to the six higher digits of the user’s bit in the VIDEO AUX area (which used to be the VITC area). In the internal colour bar signal recording mode, they are also output to the six higher digits of the LTC user’s bit.
O The user’s bit cannot be set since the active frame information and other tape management information is always output to the two lower digits of the user’s bit.
