00, 04, 08, 12, 16, and 20.
The frame digits of the timecode added to the SDI
OUT connector output are changed to values in the
range of 00 to 29.
2) Even in Clock mode, the timecode may be gradually
shifted, because it is counted by NDF.
When adding the timecode to the output from the
COMPONENT OUT connector or the video output
from the A/V OUT connector, there may be a field that
has dual timecodes because of the 2-3 pull-down
process.
3) With DF, the frame digits can be set as desired in the
range of 00 to 29.
With NDF, the frame at the beginning of recording is
limited to 00, 05, 10, 15, 20, and 25.
