The set user bit data will be recorded for both LTC and VITC.
To store the user bit setting in memory
The user bit setting (apart from the real time) is automatically retained in memory even when the power is turned off.
You can synchronize the internal time code generator of this camcorder with an external generator for the regeneration of an external time code. You can also synchronize the time code generators of other camcorders/ VTRs with the internal generator of this camcorder.
Connections for time code synchronization
Connect both the reference video signal and the external time code as illustrated below.
