Example: In the case of Japan

For Japan, if the country code is JP, it is 2 bytes, if JPN, it is 3 bytes.

Thus, enter the following: JP_ _

or JPN _

where _ represents a space.

ORGANIZATION (organization code)

When you select this item, the character table appears. (Refer to COUNTRY CODE above.)

Enter an abbreviated 4-byte alphanumeric string for the organization code.

Note

There are no problems in recording or playing back audio- video signals, if ORGANIZATION is not set. Organization codes must be acquired by applying to the SMPTE registration office. When no organization code has been acquired, it is forbidden to enter an arbitrary string. As a rule, the code “00” must be entered. Freelance operators who do not belong to an origination should enter “~.”

USER CODE

When you select this item, the USER CODE window appears.

(Refer to the COUNTRY CODE window above.) Enter the 4-byte alphanumeric strings for user identification.

The user code is registered with each organization locally. It is usually not centrally registered.

When the user code is less than 4 bytes, enter the user code from the beginning of the 4 bytes and enter the space character (20h) in the remaining strings.

This user code is determined by the organization. The methods used depend on the organization.

Note

User bits cannot be entered when no organization code has been entered.

INSTANCE NO.

GEN: Generation (number of times of copy) Ask the system administrator for selection.

TIME ZONE

When you select this item, the TIME ZONE window appears.

The UTC is calculated based on the local time, using the time zone. If the time zone is not set, the UTC is not recorded correctly.

Set the time difference from UTC. When setting the summer time or daylight savings time, change the code to one which will advance the time by 1 hour.

Note

When you change the time zone, adjust the built-in clock to local time and turn the power of the camcorder off and then the power on again.
