• Distinguishing between original material and copied

material. 00 is added to the Instance Number for original
material.

• Recording with UTC time. UTC (coordinated universal

time) is used when recording the UMID. Use of a
universal time system enables uniform management of
source material recorded all over the world.

• Calculation of date differences. Source material is

recorded using modified Julian dates (MJD), which
enables easy calculation of date differences between
different source material items.

About the UMID ownership information

COUNTRY (country code)
Set the country code by entering an abbreviated
alphanumeric string (4-byte alphanumeric string)
according to the values defined in ISO 3166-1.
There are about 240 country codes.
Find your own country code on the following web page.

Refer to ISO 3166-1:
http://www.din.de/gremien/nas/nabd/iso3166ma/
codlstp1/en_listp1.html

When the country code is less than 4 bytes, the active part
of the code occupies the first part of the 4 bytes and the
remainder must be filled with the space character (20h).

Example: Japan
For Japan, the country code is JP, which is 2 bytes, or JPN,
which is 3 bytes.
Thus, enter the following:

JP_ _
or
JPN _
where _ represents a space.

ORGANIZATION (organization code)
Enter a 4-byte alphanumeric string for the organization
code.

• There are no problems in recording or playing back

audio-video signals, even if the ORGANIZATION is not
set.

• Organization codes must be acquired by applying to the

SMPTE registration office. When no organization code
has been acquired, it is forbidden to enter an arbitrary
string. As a rule, the code “00” must be entered.
Freelance operators who do not belong to an origination
should enter “~”.

USER (user code)
Enter a 4-byte alphanumeric string to identify the user.
The user code is registered with each organization locally.
It is usually not centrally registered.
When the user code is less than 4 bytes, enter the user code
at the beginning of the 4 bytes and fill the remainder of the
string with the space character (20H).
This user code is determined by the organization. The
methods used depend on the organization.

User code cannot be entered when no organization code
has been entered.
