Chapter 4 Shooting - Setting the time data Setting the time data The camera provides time codes, user bits, and date and time (real time) data as time data, and they are recorded in the frame in sync with video. They are also recorded as data for clip metadata files. Definition of time data rr Time code It can be switched between [REC RUN] and [FREE RUN] in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [TCG]. ff[FREE RUN]: The time code always advances even when the power is turned off, and it can be handled in the same way as time. It can also be slaved to the time code input to the terminal. ff[REC RUN]: Can be regenerated and recorded into the time code of clips recorded to P2 cards as a continuous value. @@NOTE tt 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. rr User bits Two types of user bits are built in. ffLTC UB: Recorded as LTC and output from the terminal. It is also output as LTC of the HD SDI signal. ffVITC UB: Recorded as VITC (recorded to VIDEO AUX area by DVCPRO). It is also output as VITC of the HD SDI signal. LTC UB can select and record user set values, time, year/month/day, the same value as time codes, camera frame rate information, and input value of external signals from the terminal, etc. 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. rr Date/time (real time) ffBy means of the internal clock, year, month, day, and time can be displayed on the viewfinder/LCD monitor and on the output image of the terminal, etc. ffThe 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. ffIt is also used to generate clip metadata and UMID (Unique Material Identifier). For details, refer to "Setting the date/time of the internal clock" (page 33).
