Setting The User Bit Value - Sony 300PF Operating Instructions Manual

Setting Time Values

Setting the User Bit Value

You can set the user bits as eight-digit hexadecimal
values (base 16) to have the date, time, scene number,
and other information inserted into the time code.
When using both the time code and user bits, set up the
user bits first. If you set the time code first, the internal
time code generator will remain stopped while you set
the user bits, which will set the time value off from the
original setting.
