Tape continuity with the user bits
Selecting REGEN for the UB MODE item on the <TC/UB>
screen by performing menu operations will call up the user
bits recorded on the tape, making it possible to continue
recording from that value. However, it is not possible to record
the contents that were set.
<Note>
The time code/user bits are also recorded in the VIDEO AUX
area of the unit's memory. The time code (VITC) is the same
value as the sub code area's time code (LTC). The user bit
(VITC user bit) can be selected by menu operations using the
VITC UB MODE item on the <TC/UB> screen which is
accessed from the VTR MENU page, and it can be used for
different applications from the LTC.
Special information such as the camera's frame rate is
recorded in the user bits (VITC's user bits).
