# Definition of time data

#### Time code

[FREE RUN] and [REC RUN] can be switched with the [REC SETTINGS] menu → [TC] → [FREE/REC RUN].

- [FREE RUN]: Advances regardless of the operation mode. It is advancing even when the power is turned off, so it can be treated equally as time. It can also be recorded to the time code input to the <TC IN/OUT> terminal using slave lock.

- [REC RUN]: Advances only while recording. Recording is started with the value continuing from the last time code recorded previously.

NOTE

- The [REC RUN] will not be a continuous value for following cases.

  - When deleting recorded clips

  - When recording is interrupted due to a malfunction of [REC WARNING], etc. during recording.

- It will be fixed to [FREE RUN] when pre-recording is enabled.

- It will be fixed to [REC RUN] when the variable frame rate recording function is enabled.

- It will be fixed to [REC RUN] when the interval recording function is enabled.

#### User bits

User bits are built-in. User bits are recorded in the clip. Also, it is output as LTC UB, VITC UB of the SDI signal.

The user setting value, time, date, frame rate information during shooting, or clip name can be selected for recording.

The value at the time when the recording has started is recorded in the user bits of the clip meta data.

#### Duration (clip length) counter

This counter counts from 0 each time recording starts.The duration of the recorded clip is displayed after recording.

#### Date/time (real time)

- The internal clock will be the reference for the measurement of the free run time code while the power is set to < > (standby), time of the user bits, and date data. Also, it will be the reference for the file generation time and file name when the clip is recorded.

NOTE

- The display in the VIEW screen and the HOME screen is switched with the [REC SETTINGS] menu → [TC] → [TC/UB/Dur.].
