4-5 Setting the time data
When the user bits and time code are both to be used, the
user bits are set first.
If the time code is set first, the time code generator will stop
while the user bits are being set so that the time code setting
will be off.
The time code setting range extends from 00:00:00:00 to
23:59:59:29.
4-5-1 Setting the user bits
By setting the user bits, information, such as a memorandum
(date, time) of up to 8 digits in hexadecimal numbers, can be
recorded in the sub-code area (LTC) and the VIDEO AUX
area (VITC).

of the flashing digit by 1.
