The available playback types include normal playback,
high-speed playback in the forward or reverse directions,
and jog, shuttle, and variable playback. Playback stops
when it reaches the start or end of the clip. The next and
preceding clips are not played, even if they exist on the
SxS memory card.
When this unit is set to repeat playback mode, the selected
clip only is played repeatedly.
To move to another clip, press the PREV, NEXT, SHIFT
+ PREV, or SHIFT + NEXT button, or perform a
thumbnail search.
Playback start position of SxS memory
cards
Although this unit uses SxS memory cards, it is designed
to offer the most convenient features of tape playback by
VTRs. One of these is the playback start position, which
works in the same way as tape, as described below.
After playback stop
The unit stops at the position where the STOP button was
pressed.
Press the PLAY button to resume playback at the stop
position.
After recording
The unit stops at the position where recording ended.
To play back a clip, press the PREV button to move to the
start frame of any clip or press the PREV button with the
PLAY button held down to move to any position.
After insertion of the SxS memory card
The unit stops at the position of the SxS memory card
when it was most recently ejected.
Press the PLAY button to resume playback at the most
recent position.
The playback position is saved to the SxS memory card
when the SxS memory card is ejected, which allows
playback to start at that position whenever it is loaded into
any XDCAM player.
This function is not available if:
• the write protect switch on the loaded SxS memory card
is set to the WP side, or
• the recording format of the loaded SxS memory card is
FAT32.
SD up-convert function
The content of SxS memory cards recorded in SD can be
output as HD.
HD down-convert function
You can always output SD while playing SxS memory
cards recorded as HD.
1080/720 cross convert function
You can output 720 while playing clips recorded as 1080,
and output 1080 while playing clips recorded as 720.
When the system frequency of clips (59.94i/59.94P/
29.97P, or 50i/50P/25P) matches the system frequency of
the unit, but the number of system line settings (1080 or
720) do not match, then clip playback is cross converted
automatically.
In cross convert mode, “FC” is displayed.
Pulldown playback
When this unit’s system frequency is set to 1080/59.94i,
1080/29.97P/23.98P or 720/59.94P, clips recorded as
1080/23.98P or 720/23.98p are converted by 2-3 pulldown
before playback (pulldown playback).
