section no.
The
TC
field in
Encoder Status
may be blank in some cases if time code is not
included in input.
After changing from Playback to Recording mode or changing the format in
Encoder Profile, if input signal is recorded consecutively, saving delay may occur
once every 17 times and may require up to several minutes for saving.
Changing the
OPERATION
switch to
PLAY
during recording locks the front panel
operation (the same state as setting OPERATION to LOCK). The operation mode
returns to
PLAY
after recording is finished.
Recording using REM.1 may fail in some VTR devices if the playback position is
placed at the top or end of tapes.
In REM.1 mode,
do not
specify IN- or
OUT-points that do not exist in tapes.
Depending on recording length or LTO drive and tape conditions, it may take
several or several tens of minutes after recording to complete the process.
Sufficient time intervals are required between schedule entries in the Recording
Schedule list.
If "
24:00:00:00
" is displayed under
Duration
in IN/OUT recording mode after
setting IN and OUT points, the last frame will not be recorded. To record video for
24 hours when IN point is fixed, use IN/DUR mode.
When VITC and LTC timecodes are both embedded in SDI signals, the
VITC
timecode will be displayed on the SDI OUT3 and 4 output video, even if the
LTC
source
is set to
SDI ancillary (LTC)
.
* Note that in such cases, the LTC timecode will be recorded and displayed on the
Monitoring screen.
Writing retry operations may occur depending on LTO tape or head conditions
and reduce the amount of available free space on tapes.
This happens because the read head, which follows the write head, verifies just
written data and rewrites the data in another area if an error is detected. Many
writing errors, therefore, involve a reduction in free space. This is not a
malfunction but a normal feature.
Writing retry operations may occur by rewinding the tape with the tape
automatically ejecting and immediately reinserting into the drive in some cases,
and may take several minutes to complete.
In such case, do
not
forcibly remove the tape from the drive while the tape is
temporarily ejected.
Although some data in time code or LAP may seem to be lost on the front panel
display, they are continuously recorded even if they are incorrectly being
displayed.
When recording SD video images input from a VTR using an LTR-PD-SD option,
the images may appear distorted and the bottom area may appear blackish. In
such cases, use a frame synchronizer to adjust SDI signals before inputting in the
LTR.
