Hi,
The Z1 HDV camcorder has feature which enables the User Bits to be rolling TOD which I thought was great as I needed a TOD reference on this doco footage. I don’t know about other cameras, it’s just something I found in the menu whilst playing with my new toy on location and thought “hey, great that’ll be really useful”
When I playback the footage in the camera I can flick between the TC and the UB and the UB shows the time of the day that was recorded. So it is there – just how to extract it.
Hey, I appreciate all the input on this one. I hope others learn from it and developers take note!
