Recording from a variable frame rate camera
Connect the HD SDI (720/30Pover 59.94P) output of the variable frame rate camera to the HD SDI input connector of this unit.
1 Select “SLTC” in menu No. 032 REC REF.
Detect the frame information from the superimposed time code in the HD SDI signal to prevent displacement of the field.
2 Adjust the following settings to activate the two settings.
zMenu No. 25 SYSTEM FREQ: 59/60
zMenu No. 020 SYS FORMAT: 720p
zINPUT SELECT button on the front panel: HDSDI
3 Change the mode for this unit to REC PAUSE mode.

<Note>
Through the settings in menu No. 032 REC REF, the time code and the user bits recorded on the tape are as follows.
SLTC:
The time code is recorded to maintain the continuity of the recorded tape.
The superimposed user bits for the HD SDI signal is recorded.
The following settings are then invalid.
zTCG switch on the front panel (REGEN/PRESET/EXT)
zMenu No. 503 TCG_MODE (SW/AUTO)
zMenu No. 505 TCG_REGEN (TC&UB/TC/UB)
zMenu No. 507 TC_SOURCE (EXT_L/SLTC/SVITC)
NORMAL:
Time code and user bits are recorded according to the following settings.
zTCG switch on the front panel (REGEN/PRESET/EXT)
zMenu No. 503 TCG_MODE (SW/AUTO)
zMenu No. 505 TCG_REGEN (TC&UB/TC/UB)
zMenu No. 507 TC_SOURCE (EXT_L/SLTC/SVITC)
There is no discriminant information to differentiate between the first field and the second field in the HD SDI signal of 720P. Accordingly, it is usually necessary to synchronize the HD SDI signal transmission equipment to the recording equipment with the reference signal from SD. If not synchronized, there is a risk of generating displacement (image frame fails to match the time code) with 1/2 probability described as follows.
