Do one of the following to stop the Clip Continuous Rec
function. (A new clip will be generated the next time you
start recording.)
• Perform a clip operation (lock, delete, or rename a clip)
• Make a network or FAM connection
• Eject the disc
• Change the recording format (change the setting of setup
menu item 031 RECORDING FORMAT)
• Power the unit off
To turn the function off
Set setup menu item 150 REC MODE to “normal”.
Using the Live Logging function
Live Logging allows you to transfer planning metadata and
proxy AV data between this unit and a computer as you are
recording.
Live Logging has the following two operation modes.
To record with the Live Logging function
enabled
Connect this unit and a computer to a network
, and then set setup menu item 258 LIVE
LOGGING MODE to one of the following.
live mode:
Live mode
live view mode:
Live View mode
• In Live View mode, the run mode is always Free Run,
regardless of the setting of RUN MODE on page P5 TC
of the function menu. It is not possible to preset the
timecode to be recorded.
• The Disc Exchange Cache function and Clip Continuous
Rec function cannot be enabled in Live View mode.
• FAM or FTP connections cannot be established during a
Live View mode connection. Live view mode
connections cannot be established during a FAM or FTP
connection.
Operations on the computer side
Use the PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software supplied with
this unit
. (To use the PDZ-1 software, set
the operation mode to Live View mode.)
In PDZ-1, you can do the following during Live Logging.
• Display logging AV data (only in Live View mode)
• Add clip metadata (XML files) and write it back to the
disc
• Create clip lists and write them back to the disc
• Set essence marks and write them back to the disc
Handling of discs when recording
does not end normally (salvage
functions)
Recording processing does not end normally if, for
example, the POWER switch on the rear panel is turned off
during recording, or if the power cord is disconnected
during recording. Because the file system is not updated,
video and audio data recorded in real time is not
recognized as files and clip contents recorded up to that
point are lost.
However, this unit has salvage functions which can hold
losses to the minimum by reconstructing clips on such
discs. There is a quick salvage function which executes
automatically and a full salvage function which you can
execute as required.
Quick salvage:
Clips are reconstructed on the basis of
backup data stored in nonvolatile memory and
markers recorded on the disc. Processing time is about
5 seconds.
Quick salvage executes automatically if the unit is
powered on with a disc still loaded after recording
was interrupted by power off.
Full salvage:
Clips are reconstructed on the basis of
markers recorded on the disc. Nonvolatile memory
cannot be used, so processing takes longer than for a
quick salvage (about 30 seconds, although it depends
on the state of the disc).
You are prompted to execute a full salvage whenever
you insert a disc that was removed manually from a
powered off device after interruption of recording by
power off.
Note that no recorded clip contents are lost when the on/
standby button on the front panel is set to standby during
recording, because the unit does not enter standby mode
until after the end of recording processing.
• Even after recording finishes, do not set the POWER
switch on the rear panel to off until the ACCESS
indicator has gone out.
• These functions salvage as much recorded material as
possible after an unforeseen accident, but 100%
restoration cannot be guaranteed.
• When recording on the PDW-F1600 or PDW-HD1500
does not end successfully, you can use another XDCAM
Operation mode
