1) The frame digits in “Setting” are limited to 00, 04, 08,
12, 16, and 20.
The frame at the beginning of recording is limited to
00, 04, 08, 12, 16, and 20.
As the SDI OUT connector output becomes 60i
because of the 2-3 pull-down process except when
“24P System” of “Genlock” (page 127) is set to
“24PsF” for 1080/24P in Camera mode, the frame
digits of the timecode added to the SDI OUT
connector output are changed to values in the range of
00 to 29.
2) Even in Clock mode, the timecode is gradually
shifted, because it is counted by NDF.
As any output becomes 2-3 pulled-down video except
those from the SDI OUT and COMPONENT OUT
connectors with “24P System” of “Genlock” (page
127) set to “24PsF” for 1080/24P in Camera mode,
there may be a field that has dual timecodes on the
display.
3) With DF, the frame digits can be set as desired in the
range of 00 to 29.
With NDF, the frame at the beginning of recording is
limited to 00, 05, 10, 15, 20, and 25.
You can add a hexadecimal number of 8 digits for
pictures as the user bits.
The user bits can also be set to the current date.
Use “Users Bit” of the TC/UB SET menu.
