For the audio levels to be adjusted by one person only, it is recommended that the F.AUDIO LEVEL controls be used. Select in advance the audio channels whose levels are to be adjusted, and while monitoring the level meter on the viewfinder screen, adjust the F.AUDIO LEVEL controls in such a way that the input will not be too high.

1

Set the DISPLAY switch to UB.

 

2

Set the TCG switch to SET.

 

3

Set the user bits using the SHIFT button, UP (+) button

 

 

and DOWN (–) button.

 

 

SHIFT button:

This is used to cause the digit that is

 

 

 

to be set to flash. Each time it is

 

 

 

4

 

 

pressed, the flashing digit moves to

 

 

the right.

 

UP (+) button:

This increments the numerical value

 

 

 

 

 

of the flashing digit by 1.

 

 

DOWN (–) button: This decrements the numerical value

 

 

 

of the flashing digit by 1.

 

4

Set the TCG switch to F-RUN or R-RUN.

 

5

Open the <TC/UB> screen from the VTR MENU page

 

 

and select USER as the UB MODE item setting by

 

performing menu operations.

4-5 Setting the time data

The time code setting range extends from 00:00:00:00 to 23:59:59:24.

4-5-1 Setting the user bits

Memos and other information with up to 8 digits (dates, times) in hexadecimal notation can be recorded on the sub code track by setting the user bits.

User bit memory function

The user bit settings (except for the actual time) are automatically saved in the memory and retained even after the power is turned off.

Tape continuity with the user bits

Selecting REGEN for the UB MODE item on the <TC/UB> screen by performing menu operations will call up the user bits recorded on the tape, making it possible to continue recording from that value. However, it is not possible to record the contents that were set.

<Note>

The time code/user bits are also recorded in the VIDEO AUX area of the unit’s memory. The time code (VITC) is the same value as the sub code area’s time code (LTC).

Special information such as the camera’s frame rate is recorded in the user bits (VITC’s user bits).
