tt While the setting menu is displayed, the camera ID will not be displayed even if the color bar signal is output. tt The following settings can be made in the main menu → [VF] → [VF INDICATOR].

-When setting [CAMERA ID] to [BAR], the camera ID is recorded at the same time as the color bar signal.

-The position where the camera ID is superimposed on the color bar can be selected in [ID POSITION].

-When setting [DATE/TIME] to [ON], date and time information as well as the camera ID can be superimposed on the color bar.

-When setting [TC ON COLOR BAR] to [ON], the time code is displayed at color bar output. The time code is not recorded.

CTL counter setting and display

When the <DISPLAY> switch is set to <CTL>, the CTL counter value appears in the time counter display in the LCD display window. The counter value is ±12-hour display. Besides the time code, drop frame and non-drop frame can be set in the main menu → [REC/PB] → [TC/UB] → [DF MODE]. The playback order of clips recorded to P2 cards is not linear such as with VTR. Each time that thumbnail operation is performed or that some of the P2 cards are re-inserted, the counter value will be re-organized and the positioning of the clips recorded so far will change. Accordingly, in the recording and playback modes, separate counter values are displayed.

CTL counter in the recording mode (recording CTL)

In the recording mode (record, recording pause, stop, and recording check), the recording CTL counter value is displayed and counting is performed continuously from the previous recording end point. The CTL counter value is held even if the camera is turned off. Counting is continued from the previous value when the camera is next turned on.

@@NOTE

tt If the <RESET> button is pressed while the recording CTL counter value is displayed, only the recording CTL counter value is reset. Note, however, that the counter value cannot be reset during a recording check.
