eTime data type indicator

Indicates the type of time data currently shown in the time counter display.

TC: SMPTE timecode

UB: User bit data

CNT: Count value of the time counter

VITC: VITC timecode

VIUB: VITC user bit data

fVITC indicator

Lights when VITC is being read or recorded regardless of time data shown in the time counter display.

gRecording/playback signal format display Indicates the recording/playback video format.

hHD-SDI output format display

When converting the recording signal format on the tape for output from the HD-SDI OUT connector, this shows the signal format of the HD-SDI output.

iInput signal display
