• The shortest clip that can be recorded is 2 seconds long.
Even if recording start and stop operations are performed
within 2 seconds, a 2-second clip is recorded.
• The maximum number of clips that can be recorded is
600. If the loaded SxS memory card already contains
600 clips, recording operation is not possible. (The
message “MAX # Clips” appears in the time data display
area.)
• This unit can record video input signals that are not
synchronized to a reference signal. However, in that
case, video breakup and audio noise may occur in EE
playback.
• During recording, do not turn off the POWER switch on
the rear panel or disconnect the power cord. This could
cause the clip being recorded to be lost.
To adjust the audio recording levels
When carrying out audio recording at a reference
level
Set the VARIABLE switch to “PRESET”.
The audio signals will be recorded at a preset reference
level.
You can change the reference level and the input levels
with maintenance menu.
For details, refer to the Maintenance Manual.
Manually adjusting the audio recording levels
Set the VARIABLE switch to “REC” and use the CH-1/
ALL CH and CH-2 to CH-4 knobs to adjust CH-1 to CH-4,
and use A5 VOL to A8 VOL on page P3 AUDIO of the
function menu to adjust CH-5 to CH-8 so that the audio
level indications on the audio level meters do not exceed
0 dB for a maximum volume.
See setup menu item 108 AUTO EE SELECT (page 79) for
more information about the signal output settings in EE
mode.
To set shot marks
A Shot Mark1 essence mark or Shot Mark2 essence mark
is set if you hold down the
V
/MARK1 or
v
/MARK2
button and press the PUSH SET knob during recording.
If the unit is set up to display superimposed text
information
, “SHOTMARK*” (*: 0 to 9)
appears every time you set an essence mark.
When Shot Mark0 to Shot Mark9 is set, you can search for
the shot marks by displaying thumbnails of the frames at
those positions
You can also set shot marks during playback. See page 45
for the procedure.
Recording with the HDSDI remote
control function
This section explains the settings required for recording in
HDSDI remote control mode, and how the unit operates in
this mode.
The unit (camcorder) that controls this unit must also
support HDSDI remote output.
Settings
Set setup menu item 214 REMOTE INTERFACE to
“SDI”, and set the remote control switch on the front panel
to “REMOTE”.
This unit enters HDSDI remote control mode, in which it
is controlled by command packets received via the SD/
HDSDI INPUT connector.
Commands received via the REMOTE (9P) connector are
ignored in HDSDI remote control mode.
Monitor display in HDSDI remote control mode
“RM-SDI” appears as network connection display
in the status display area of the display screen.
This display lights if command packets are embedded into
HDSDI signals, and flashes if they are not. However, the
“RM-SDI” continues to flash until the time the controlling
camcorder is powered on and the time that the REC button
is pressed on the camcorder.
Recording operation
When a recordable SxS memory card is inserted, recording
(or stop) is executed according to the REC (or STOP)
command embedded into the HDSDI signals.
Recording stops automatically when the end of the SxS
memory card is reached.
When HDSDI signals are interrupted during
recording
Recording stops if HDSDI signals are interrupted during
recording, for example because the HDSDI cable is
disconnected or the controlling camcorder is powered off.
When HDSDI signal input is restored, the unit resumes
operation according to the embedded REC or STOP
command.
Exchanging media
During recording, you cannot exchange from the currently
used SxS memory card to another.
To exchange, first stop the recording. Then press the
SLOT SELECT button to swap slots, or remove the SxS
memory card and insert a different one.
