User bits

These are also referred to as “user’s bits”.

The user bits are a 32-bit segment of the

timecode recording area. The user can

select what to record in this segment and

how to use the recorded data. For

example, it can be used to record date

information in addition to the timecode

data or ID numbers for tape reels or

programs.

V (vertical)-blanking

The portion of the video signal that occurs

between the end of one field and the

beginning of the next. During this time,

the electron beams in monitors are turned

off so that they can return from the bottom

of the screen to the top without showing

tracks of movement on the screen. When

the position of v-blanking is not adjusted

correctly, a horizontal black bar appears on

the screen.

Video gain

Amount of amplification for video signals,

expressed in decibels (dB).

VITC

Abbreviation of “Vertical Interval Time

Code”. This timecode is inserted in the

vertical blanking interval and recorded on

the video tracks. It can be read at low

speeds and during still playback, but not

during high-speed playback.

See also “LTC”.

Y signal

See “Luminance signal”.
