Proxy recording function (extra-cost option)
By installing the video encoder board (extra-cost option), video recordings in MPEG4 or H.264 format and real-time data such as time code data can be
recorded to the P2 card and SD memory card simultaneously in addition to the video and audio of the materials recorded on the camera.
For details, refer to “Video encoder board (AG-YDX600G)” (page 162).
Hot swap recording
When P2 cards are inserted into two P2 card slots, recording can be performed continuously across two cards.
Also, the card other than the one currently being recorded to can be swapped and recording can be continued on two or more cards. (hot swap
recording function)
Note, however, P2 card recognition might slow down depending on the timing (immediately after pre-recording or before and after continuous recording
across two card slots) that the P2 card is inserted into the vacant card slot. When inserting a P2 card, make sure that there is at least one minute of free
space on the card to be recorded to.

Hot swap playback is not supported.
Rec review function
f
After recording ends, pressing the <RET> button on the lens automatically cues to approximately the last two seconds of video just recorded. The
playback time can be increased up to ten seconds by holding down the <RET> button on the lens.
In this way, you can check whether or not video has been recorded properly. After playback, the camera is again ready to start recording. For short
clips, however, when the start of the clip is cued to, holding down the <RET> button does not play back any clips before the current clip.
f
The rec review function can be assigned to each of the <USER> buttons (<USER MAIN>/<USER1>/<USER2>) at the [USER MAIN], [USER1], and
[USER2] items on the setting menu [SW MODE] screen.

Note that when a backup device is connected to the <SDI OUT/IN (OP)> terminal, etc., and the backup image is being recorded, the
playback image currently in use by the recording review function will be recorded.

In the one-clip recording mode, the furthest rewind point using rec review and the playback start point after pausing recording is not at the
start of the clip, but at the start of the most recent recording.
Shot mark recording function
Shot mark is the mark added to the thumbnail of each clip to distinguish that clip from others.
Only clips with shot marks attached can be displayed or played back.
Adding shot marks
1
Assign shot marks to the desired <USER> buttons (<USER
MAIN>/<USER1>/<USER2>) or the <RET> button on the lens
on the setting menu [SW MODE] screen.
For details, refer to “Setting menu basic operations” (page 116).
