Retention of user bits in memory
User bit settings are automatically recorded and are retained even if the power is turned off.
Frame rate information recorded on user bits
Saving the frame rate values for the image information shot/saved according to the frame rate set in main menu → [SYSTEM] → [SYSTEM MODE] to
user bits allows you to use the editor (personal computer editing software).
Information is always saved in VITC UB.
In addition, selecting [FRAME RATE] in main menu → [REC/PB] → [TC/UB] → [UBG MODE] saves the information in user bits (LTC UB) as well. In
playback of clips recorded in native format, the same values as the frame rate information obtained by playing back recorded user bits are also output
as HD SDI output signals or user bits of TC output from the <TC OUT> terminal.
