Hint

  • About time code

    Time code is a useful function for advanced image editing, by recording hours/minutes/seconds/frames on the image data.

    When TV system is set to [NTSC] and the frame rate is 30p or 60p, gaps between the actual time and the time code occur during extended periods of recording as there is a slight difference between the number of frames of the time code and the actual frame frequency of NTSC image signal per second. Drop frame corrects these gaps to ensure that the time code matches the actual time. The first frame numbers (the first 2 frame numbers for 30p or the first 4 for 60p) are removed every minute except in every ten minute. Time code without this correction is called non-drop frame.

     

  • About the user bit

    User bit is a function that can record information (8-digit hexadecimal numbers) such as date/time/scene number. This function is useful to edit movies using two or more cameras.
