Retaining the user bits
The data set for the user bits are automatically saved and
retained even if the video camera-recorder is turned off.
Frame rate information recorded in user
bits
The frame rate value of video data captured and recorded
at a frame rate set in the menu option FRAME RATE
or other options in the SYSTEM SETUP screen can be
recorded in the user bits and be used in editing equipment
(computer editing software).
This type of data is recorded in VITC UB at all times.
Setting the setting menu UB MODE to FRM RATE, records
the information also to the user bits.
In playback of clips recorded in native mode, the same
frame rate information as that obtained in playing back the
user bits in the VIDEO AUX area is also output to the user
bits in the subcode area.
Frame rate information
Frame rate, video pull-down and time code user bits are
related as described below.
