COMP MODE
This is used to select the method to process the 
image compression during recording.
0000NORMALThe images are recorded using the regular 
compression processing.
0001 DARKThe images are recorded while minimizing the 
compressed image distortion which arises in the 
dark areas below about 10 IRE (70 mV).

zThis setting is valid when recording in the 720p 
mode.
zWhen [DARK] is selected, the indication (c) 
blinks to the left of the second line of the super-
imposed indication.

UMID REC
This selects whether or not to record the UMID 
information on the tape.
0000 OFF
UMID information is not recorded on the tape. 
The [EE] output is also blank.
0001ONThe UMID set in menu No. 691 UMID GEN is 
recorded. If no Basic UMID is available in the 
input signals, a Basic UMID of the unit, which is 
newly generated, is recorded.

UMID information cannot be rewritten in this unit.

UMID GEN
This selects a UMID that is recorded when 
menu No. 690 UMID REC is turned “ON”.
0000 INT
Newly created basic UMID information of this 
unit is always recorded.
0001EXTThe UMID information of the input signals is 
recorded.  If no UMID is available in the input 
signals, a Basic UMID of the unit, which is newly 
generated, is recorded.

The source pack (of the UMID information) of the 
input signal will be recorded on the tape, regardless 
of this menu’s setting.

GAMMA SELThis selects gamma correction.
0000OFFGamma correction is not carried out.0001 GAMMA1
This corrects video images shot with the cine 
gamma FilmREC mode of the Varicam to images 
of film quality (equivalent to Telecine 5 of HD 
Gamma Corrector in AJ-GBX27G).
0002 GAMMA2
This corrects video images shot with the cine 
gamma FilmREC mode of the Varicam to images 
of film quality (equivalent to Telecine 6 of HD 
Gamma Corrector in AJ-GBX27G).
0003 GAMMA3
This converts video images shot with the cine 
gamma FilmREC mode of the Varicam into the 
Cineon curve appropriate for film recording.

zGamma correction is effective in the following 
conditions.
ŠWhen the VTR operation mode is VV (TAPE) 
and 720p is displayed in the system format.
However, when the 23/24 mode is selected in 
System Menu No. 25 (SYSTEM FREQ), or 59/
60 and 50i/25p are selected in System Menu 
No. 25 (SYSTEM FREQ), as well as performing 
the cross conversion from 720p to 1080i, 
gamma correction is not performed for SD 
output.
zIf it is set to execute gamma correction, the GM 
indicator in the time code display lights 
constantly.
zWhen the power of the unit is turned OFF, the 
settings in this item also return to [OFF].
zThis item is not effective for 1394 output.

zWhen the rate converter is turned OFF, video 
input must be synchronized with the reference 
signal selected in [OUT REF]. (If they are not 
synchronized, noise may be generated.)
