Description
SBC (sub code data) area:
This area is separate from the video and audio data area on the
helical track. The time code complying with SMPTE/EBU standards
is stored here. As with the conventional LTC (linear time code), the
time code can be read even during rewinding or fast forwarding. It
can also be read out when the tape has stopped.
VAUX (video auxiliary data) area:
This area is to be found in the video data area on the helical track.
The additional information relating to the video data is stored here.
<Note>
The time code and user's bit are controlled during tape playback by
the data which has been recorded in the SBC area. This means that
all the data recorded in the SBC area alone is used as the data
which is to be indicated on the counter display section in the middle
of the front panel or in the superimposed display, or as the data
which is to be transmitted to the editing controller or other unit.
