Variable frame rate
This camera/VTR 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 OUT 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’s bit of the sub-code track area (this used to be
the LTC area). This information is output from the TC
OUT connector and HD SDI OUT connector. Further,
the active frame information is stored in the least
significant digit of the user’s bit while the frame rate
information is stored in its lower third and fourth digits.

set.
