Retaining the user bits

The data set for the user bits are automatically saved and retained even if the unit is turned off.

Frame rate information recorded in user bits

If video information to be recorded based on the frame rate set through the menu option FRAME RATE or CAMERA MODE is recorded in the user bits, it can be edited with editing tools (e.g. PC editing software). In 1080i mode, the frame rate information for the user bits recorded in the VIDEO AUX area are used.

The frame rate and video pull-down menu are linked to the time code and user bits as follows:
