# [REC SETTINGS] menu

Sets the various items in the recording function.

## [CARDS/MEDIA]

### [FORMAT MEDIA]

Formats the SD card in the specified slot. Data deleted as a result of formatting cannot be restored. Always confirm the data before formatting.

The items that can be selected are as follows.

- [SLOT1], [SLOT2]

## [CLIP NAME]

### [CAM INDEX]

Sets the CAM INDEX used in the name for the MOV format file to be recorded. Set one upper case alphabetical character. This is used as a value to be stored in the volume label of the SD card.

The items that can be set are as follows.

- [A]…[Z]

(Factory setting: [A])

NOTE

- This will be stored in the volume label of the SD card, but will not be used in the file name when the [SYSTEM SETTINGS] menu → [SYSTEM MODE] → [MAIN CODEC] is set to AVCHD format.

### [NEXT REEL COUNT]

Sets the REEL COUNT used in the name for the MOV format file to be recorded. The setting value of [NEXT REEL COUNT] is stored in the volume label of the SD card as REEL COUNT together with the setting value of [CAM INDEX]. Also, the setting value will increase one after storing. (It will return to [001] after [999])

- When the SD card is formatted

- When recorded to the SD card where REEL COUNT is not stored in the volume label

The items that can be set are as follows.

- [001]…[999]

(Factory setting: [001])

NOTE

- This will be stored in the volume label of the SD card, but will not be used in the file name when the [SYSTEM SETTINGS] menu → [SYSTEM MODE] → [MAIN CODEC] is set to AVCHD format.

## [2 SLOTS FUNC.]

Sets the recording function using two SD cards.

[OFF] | Does not set.
[RELAY REC] | Sets to relay recording.
[SIMUL REC] | Sets to simultaneous recording.

(Factory setting: [RELAY REC])

NOTE

- For the combination that can be set and restriction, refer to “Recording function that cannot be used simultaneously”.

## [PRE REC]

Sets whether to perform pre-recording.

The pre-recording time differs depending on the setting of the [SYSTEM SETTINGS] menu → [SYSTEM MODE] → [MAIN PIXEL]/[MAIN CODEC].

[ON] | Performs the pre-recording. The pre-recording time is as follows. When [MAIN PIXEL] is [1280×720], [1920×1080], or [2048×1080]: Approximately 10 seconds When [MAIN CODEC] is [422ALL-I 400M]: Approximately 3 seconds Other than above: Approximately 5 seconds
[OFF] | Does not perform the pre-recording.

(Factory setting: [OFF])

NOTE

- For the combination that can be set and restriction, refer to “Recording function that cannot be used simultaneously”.

## [REC FUNCTION]

### [REC MODE]

Selects the recording mode.

[NORMAL] | Performs the standard recording.
[INTERVAL] | Performs the interval recording. (A function to repeatedly perform the operation of one frame recording in set time interval.)

(Factory setting: [NORMAL])

NOTE

- For the combination that can be set and restriction, refer to “Recording function that cannot be used simultaneously”.

### [INTERVAL TIME]

Sets the interval duration for interval recording.

The items that can be set are as follows.

- [1s], [2s], [5s], [10s], [30s], [1min], [5min], [10min]

(Factory setting: [5min])

## [TC]

### [SET TC]

Sets the default value of the time code to record.

Hour | [00]…[23]
Minute | [00]…[59]
Second | [00]…[59]
Frame | [00] … [23] (when [24.00p] or [23.98p] is set) [00] … [24] (when [50.00i], [50.00p], or [25.00p] is set) [00] … [29] (when [59.94i], [59.94p], or [29.97p] is set)

(Factory setting: [00]) (each item)

### [SET UB]

Sets user bits.

Enabled only when [USER] is selected in [UB MODE] of [TC].

Each digit can be set in following range.

- [00]…[FF]

(Factory setting: [00])

### [TC/UB/Dur.]

Switches the time code display to the user bits or duration counter display.

The items that can be set are as follows.

[TC] | Time code display
[UB] | User bits display
[Dur.] | Duration counter display

(Factory setting: [TC])

### [FREE/REC RUN]

Sets the operation mode to advance the time code generator.

[FREE RUN] | Advances regardless of the operation mode.
[REC RUN] | Advances only while recording.

(Factory setting: [FREE RUN])

NOTE

- It will be fixed to [REC RUN] when the [CAMERA SETTINGS] menu → [FPS] → [VFR SW] → [ON] is set.

- It will be fixed to [FREE RUN] when the [REC SETTINGS] menu → [PRE REC] → [ON] is set.

- It will be fixed to [REC RUN] when the [REC SETTINGS] menu → [REC FUNCTION] → [REC MODE] → [INTERVAL] is set.

### [DF/NDF]

Sets the count method for the time code generator.

Enabled only when the [SYSTEM SETTINGS] menu → [SYSTEM MODE] → [FREQUENCY] → [59.94i]/[59.94p]/[29.97p] is set.

[DF] | Uses the drop frame mode.
[NDF] | Uses the non-drop frame mode.

(Factory setting: [NDF])

NOTE

- It will be fixed to [NDF] when the [REC SETTINGS] menu → [REC FUNCTION] → [REC MODE] → [INTERVAL] is set.

### [UB MODE]

Selects the user bits mode. User bits information is recorded in the clip. Also, it is output as LTC UB, VITC UB of the SDI signal.

[FRAME RATE] | Selects the image information (such as frame rate) of the camera.
[USER] | Selects the user bits set in [SET UB].
[TIME] | Selects the local time. (hh, mm, ss)
[DATE] | Selects the local date and time. (YY, MM, DD, hh)
[CLIP NAME] | ASCII character code of the CAM INDEX (A to Z) recorded as a MOV format file goes into MSB. Also, three digit ASCII character code of the REEL COUNT recorded as the MOV format file goes into LSB. (Example: A123=0x41 0x31 0x32 0x33) It will record even if the [SYSTEM SETTINGS] menu → [SYSTEM MODE] → [MAIN CODEC] is not set to the MOV format.

(Factory setting: [USER])

### [TC IN/OUT SEL]

Sets the input/output of the <TC IN/OUT> terminal.

[TC IN] | Sets to the time code input.
[TC OUT] | Sets to the time code output.

(Factory setting: [TC IN])

### [TC OUT REF]

Sets the output delay of the time code that is output from the <TC IN/OUT> terminal.

[RECORDING] | Outputs the recording time code without delay. This is used when performing simultaneous recording on two cameras with the time code of this camera as the master.
[SDI OUT] | Matches to output image from the <SDI OUT> terminal. Outputs without delay when video is not output from the <SDI OUT> terminal.

(Factory setting: [RECORDING])
