About UMID ownership information

COUNTRY CODE

Enter an abbreviated alphanumeric string (4-byte alphanumeric strings) according to the values defined in ISO 3166-1.

There are about 240 country codes.

Find your own country code on the following home page.

Refer to ISO 3166-1: http://www.iso.org/iso/country-codes/ iso_3166_code_lists.htm

When the country code is less than 4 bytes, the active part of the code will occupy the first part of the 4-bytes and the remainder must be filled with the space character (20h).

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)

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

Notes

•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 “~”.

•There are no problems in recording or playing back audio-video signals, if ORGANIZATION is not set.

USER CODE

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 country code is less than 4 bytes, enter the country 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 code cannot be entered when no organization code has been entered.

TIME ZONE

Set the time difference from UTC.

Notes

•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.

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