However, when the

 

 

 

frame rate has been set

 

 

 

to 24 fps, the time code

 

 

 

on the tape in those

 

 

 

parts where the drop

 

 

 

frame mode was

 

 

 

established will not be

 

 

 

regenerated.

 

 

 

PRESET:

 

 

 

The time code set on the

 

 

 

tape is not regenerated.

 

 

 

However, it is forcibly

 

 

 

regenerated when the

 

 

 

unit is transferred from

 

 

 

the rec-pause mode to

C U F

 

 

the recording mode.

 

 

 

 

<Note>

When USER is set for the UB MODE item, it is not possible to set EXT for the VITC UB MODE item.

Similarly, it is not possible to set EXT for the UB MODE item when USER has been set for the VITC UB MODE item.

This unit automatically stores as the tape management information both the frame rate information which indicates the shooting speed and the active frame information which indicates the first frame where the frame image was switched in the user bits of the sub-code track area (this used to be the LTC area). This information is output from the TC OUT connector, HD SDI MON connector and HD SDI EE connector. Further, the active frame information is stored in the least significant digit of the user bits while the frame rate information is stored in its lower third and fourth digits.

<Notes>

OWhen “DATE,” “TCG” or “USER” has been selected as the UB MODE item setting on the TC/UB screen, the tape management information is output from the least significant digit to the lower fourth digit of the user bits, so no other user bits information will be output.

OThe tape management information is not output as the user bits information in the VIDEO AUX area (this used to be the VITC area).
