Recording

The camera provides time data such as time codes, user 
bits, time of day (real-time) data, which is recorded on each 
frame alongside video data. It is also recorded as as data 
in clip metadata files.



Use the TCG switch to select Rec Run or Free Run mode.
•  Free Run: The time code advances constantly whether 

the camera is on or not just like time itself. Recording 
using a slave-locked time code input to the TC IN 
connector is also possible.

•  Rec Run: The time code advances only during recording. 

This will enable continuation of time codes in previously 
recorded clips and when the power is turned off or new 
P2 cards are inserted to continue recording.



•  Two types of user bits are provided internally: LTC and 

VITC.

•  LTC user bits enable the recording of user settings, time, 

date, time codes and similar values, the frame rate data 
for camera capture and external input values (via TC 
IN connector input). They are output from the TC OUT 
connector or output as LTC embedded in HD SDI.

•  VITC user bits record the frame rate data of camera 

capture. They are output as VITC embedded in HD SDI.

•  The user bits in clip metadata record the LTC UB value at 

the start of recording.



•  The built-in clock calculates the year, month, day and 

time from the internal clock to display on video output 
on the LCD monitor, in the viewfinder, or embedded in 
MONITOR OUT.

•  The internal clock is not only used to calculate the free 

run time code when the power is off and to set the user 
bit year, date and time, but also to set file creation dates 
when clips are recorded that determine the order of 
thumbnails and playback order.

•  It is also used for generating clip metadata and UMID 

(Unique Material Identifier).
