Variable frame rate
This camera-recorder
enables the frame rate
(shooting speed) to be set from 4 fps to 60 fps.
Since the 720P/59.94 Hz or 720P/60.00 Hz format is
used for recording onto the tape or outputting to the
HD SDI MON connector and the HD SDI EE
connector , users now have the exciting opportunity to
create a whole new dimension of moving images with
clearer slow-motion images and blur effects—a world
which was hitherto confined to the field of film
production—in their own video productions.
This unit automatically stores as the tape
management information both the frame rate
information which indicates the shooting speed and
the active frame information which indicates the first
frame where the frame image was switched in the
user bits of the sub-code track area (this used to be
the LTC area). This information is output from the TC
OUT connector, HD SDI MON connector and HD SDI
EE connector. Further, the active frame information is
stored in the least significant digit of the user bits
while the frame rate information is stored in its lower
third and fourth digits.
Setting the frame rate
There are three ways in which the frame rate can be
set.
