How the three Record Methods work
The illustrations below compare the
Clip
,
Loop
, and
Loop & Forward
Record Methods
. When the explanation
of the examples refers to pressing
Tag
, you can either press
Tag
on the recorder or
REC/TAG
on the wireless
remote. Once you’re in
Record Standby
mode, all recording control and tagging can be done on either the
recorder or the wireless remote.
In these diagrams, with the recorder in Record Standby mode, we show video recording done in a 10 minute
period between starting recording by pressing
REC
on the recorder or
REC/TAG
on the wireless remote (Start
Recording) and pressing
REC
again on the recorder or
STOP
on the wireless remote (Stop Recording). The
green area on the timeline indicates what video footage is actually captured.
In all three examples, the
Tag
button was pressed three times: at 00:02:06, at 00:05:54, and at 00:07:18. The
examples show how the results are different in all three cases.
The
Loop Record Time
is set to 30 seconds.
Using the
Clip
Record Method
, recording starts when
REC
is pressed and runs continuously until
REC
is
pressed again. This is exactly the way a standard video recorder works. In addition, each time the
Tag
key is
pressed, a
tag
is recorded, for later possible use with the built-‐in editing features.
Using the
Loop
Record Method
, recording starts when the
REC
button is pressed, but the captured video isn’t
saved until
Tag
is pressed. When
Tag
is pressed at 00:02:06, a set of three short clips, called
loops
, are saved,
one for each segment indicated in green around that tag. When
Tag
is pressed at 00:05:54, another set of
loops is saved, and finally, when
Tag
is pressed at 00:07:18, a third set of loops is saved.
When in the
Loop Record Method
, pressing
Tag
causes a set of loops to be saved, but it does NOT put a tag on
the video. Each loop is saved as a separate, untagged clip.
How loops are defined
You may have noticed that the saved clip isn’t always aligned exactly the same way with the clip. This is
because of the way the
Loop
Record Method
captures the loop clips.
