Item number Item name Settings
501 STILL TIMER To protect the disc against shock and vibrations, and to lengthen the life
of the laser diodes, the unit automatically enters standby off mode
whenever a specified time elapses in a disc stop mode (stop mode or the
still picture mode of search mode). This allows you to set the time after
which the unit exits a disc stop mode and enters standby off mode.
0.5 s (0.5 sec)... 8 m (8 min)... 30 m (30 min): Can be set in the range
from 0.5 seconds to 30 minutes.
off: Do not put into standby off mode.
Menu items in the 600s, relating to the time code, metadata, and UMID
Item number Item name Settings
601 VITC POSITION SEL-1 Select a line into which to insert VITC signals for IMX recording signals a)
and DVCAM playback signals.

12 H (12 line)... 16 H (16 line)... 20 H (20 line) (in 525(U)/525(J) line
modes)
9 H (9 line)... 19 H (19 line)... 22 H (22 line) (in 625 line mode)
Note
You can insert the VITC signal in two places. To insert it in two places, set
both items 601 and 602.
a) In the IMX format, VITC is inserted as video signals in vertical blanking sections.
Because these signals are output as video signals during playback, the insertion
line can be specified only for recording.
b) In the DVCAM format, VITC is recorded as VAUX (Video Auxiliary) data.
Because VITC is inserted into video signals by the VITC generator only during
playback, the insertion line can be specified only for playback.
