The underlining in the variable range column indicates the setting in
the preset mode.
This unit automatically stores as the tape management information both the frame rate information which indicates the shooting speed and
the active frame information which indicates the first frame where the frame image was switched in the user bits of the sub-code track area
(this used to be the LTC area). This information is output from the TC OUT connector, HD SDI MON connector and HD SDI EE connector.
Further, the active frame information is stored in the least significant digit of the user bits while the frame rate information is stored in its
lower third and fourth digits.
<Notes>
OWhen "DATE," "TCG" or "USER" has been selected as the UB MODE item setting on the TC/UB screen, the tape management
information is output from the least significant digit to the lower fourth digit of the user bits, so no other user bits information will be
output.
OThe tape management information is not output as the user bits information in the VIDEO AUX area (this used to be the VITC area).
