1)The frame digits in “Setting” are limited to 00, 04, 08, 12, 16, and 20.

The frame at the beginning of recording is limited to 00, 04, 08, 12, 16, and 20.

The frame digits of the timecode added to the SDI OUT connector output are changed to values in the range of 00 to 29.

2)Even in Clock mode, the timecode may be gradually shifted, because it is counted by NDF.

When adding the timecode to the output from the COMPONENT OUT connector or the video output from the A/V OUT connector, there may be a field that has dual timecodes because of the 2-3 pull-down process.

3)With DF, the frame digits can be set as desired in the range of 00 to 29.

With NDF, the frame at the beginning of recording is limited to 00, 05, 10, 15, 20, and 25.
