Copying
Overview
This unit can copy clips, EDLs, and other files stored on
discs to external storage. It can also copy clips, EDLs, and
other files from external storage to discs.
Copying clips and EDLs on discs to external storage
enables repeated use of the disc for recording.
The unit can also copy clips, EDLs, and other files stored
on SxS memory cards to discs.
To copy SxS memory cards, the SBAC-US20/US30 SxS
Memory Card USB Reader/Writer is required.
Limitations
• When you copy a clip with a duration that exceeds six
hours, the clip is divided into separate clips at each six-
hour point.
• Index picture settings may be displaced forward or
backward when you execute a copy.
• When an MXF clip is copied, the UMID data of the copy
source clip is maintained intact. If the copy destination
media contains a clip with the same UMID data as the
clip selected as the copy source, it is not possible to copy
the selected clip. Change the UMID data on the external
device, or transfer the copy source clip via the network.
• Seamless playback and clip flag operations (addition,
modification, and deletion) are not supported for MXF
clips that meet the following conditions.
- Clips containing 1,000 or more essence marks
- Clips containing 10,804 or more timecode breaks
- Clips with metadata files *M01.XML more than 2 MB
in size
• Do not play back a clip while copying the clip. The
output may become distorted or muted.
