Definition of time data

Time code

It can be switched between [REC RUN] and [FREE RUN] in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [TCG].

[FREE RUN]: The time code is constantly advanced even when the power is turned off, and it can be handled in the same way as the actual time.
[REC RUN]: It can be recorded as a continuous value by regeneration to the time code of clip recorded to the microP2 memory card.

NOTE

In the following case, the values are not continuous.
- When deleting recorded clips
- When switching to 24PN and 30PN (25PN)
- When recording is interrupted due to a malfunction of [REC WARNING], etc. during recording.

User bits

Two types of user bits are built in.

LTC UB: It is recorded as LTC, and also output as LTC for the HD SDI signal.
VITC UB: Recorded as VITC (recorded to VIDEO AUX area by DVCPRO). It is also output as VITC of the HD SDI signal.

The user setting value, time, date, the same value as time codes, frame rate information of the camera recording, etc. can be individually selected to be recorded in LTC UB.

VITC UB records the camera frame rate information.

The LTC UB value of the recording start time can be recorded on the user bits of the clip metadata.

Date/time (real time)

The year, month, date, and time can be displayed on the output video such as viewfinder or LCD monitor with the internal clock.
The internal clock is used for measuring the free run time code while the power is off and as time and year/month/day data of the user bits. It is also used as the reference for file generation times during clip recording, which determine the sorting order of thumbnails and the order of playback.
It is also used to generate clip metadata and UMID (Unique Material Identifier).
For details, refer to “Setting the date/time of the internal clock”.
