*1 If the menu option FRAME RATE UB on the <OPTION> screen is set to “MENU”, then recording is performed as per the UB MODE or VITC UB MODE. Note that, with this setting, information required by editors (PC editing software) is not recorded.

*2 For Free run, the time code is slaved to the time code input through the TC IN connector.

*3 For Free run, the time code is slaved to the time code input through the TC IN connector if it is a non-drop frame.

*4 When the menu option UB MODE is set to “EXT”, then the bits are slaved to the user bits input through the TC IN connector.

*5 Regardless of the menu settings, frame rate information is always recorded. During playback, the information is output after being converted into pull-down frame rate information.

*6 When the menu option UB MODE is set to “FRM RATE”, the pull-down frame rate information read out from the UB in the VAUX area is output during playback.

*7 For details on this item, refer to [Recording formats and output connector signal formats] (page 50).
