User Bits

"User bits" refers to the 32-bit (8 digits) data frame of the time
code signal made available to users. It allows you to record
operator numbers and other values. The alphanumeric
characters that can be used in the user bit are the figures from
0 - 9 and the letters A to F.

CTL

During playback, the counter displays the play position
relative to the start position. Recording starts from the counter
value 0:00:00:00. When recording stops, the counter shows
the position relative to the start position.
◆ NOTE:
• When menu setting SETUP - SYSTEM - FREQUENCY is set to
23.98 Hz, 24 Hz, 59 - 23 or 60 - 24, the playback screen and CTL
may differ by one frame.
