8-2 Recording UMIDs

UMIDs can be recorded when recording video signals with this unit. You can select whether to inherit (copy) the UMID contained in input signals, or automatically or forcibly generate a new UMID.

Selecting the type of UMID to record

Select whether to record a Basic UMID or an Extended UMID by using setup menu item 655 UMID RECORDING.

See page 10-18 for more information about setup menu item 655.

Selecting whether to inherit or generate the UMID

When recording a UMID, you can select whether to inherit (copy) the UMID contained in input signals, or generate a new UMID. Make this selection by using setup menu item 656 MATERIAL NO.

See page 10-19 for more information about setup menu item 656.

Selecting the Instance Number generation method when inheriting UMIDs

If you choose to inherit the UMID contained in input signals, almost all of the information in the UMID is copied without change, but the Instance Number changes to a value which indicates that “this UMID is a copy”. The new value can be generated from a 16-bit pseudo-random number with the addition of the number of copies (1 byte), or it can be generated from a 24-bit pseudo-random number. Select the method used to generate the Instance Number by using setup menu item 654 UMID GENERATE METHOD.

See page 10-18 for more information about setup menu item 654.

UMID

You can select the VANC 1) line into which the generated UMID should be inserted. Make this selection by using setup menu item 653 UMID SDI VANC LINE.
