Recording
Before starting a new recording ensure the
recorder is set up correctly, please read pages 11
to 14 first.
Select an empty BIN in which to
record
You can think of a BIN like a folder for holding a
single or group of related video CLIPS. The current
BIN and its contents, if any, are shown on the
Clip
Status display
, see page 10.
Use the right hand soft key labelled
NEXT
to move
to the next BIN. You will see the BIN number
change each time you select
NEXT
or
PREVIOUS
.
The video length stored within the selected BIN is
displayed in the format of Hours, Minutes and
Seconds [HH:MM:SS]. So a BIN showing 00:00:00
is empty and a BIN showing 01:35:24 is just over
one hour thirty five minutes long. For a new
recording select an empty BIN.
Note:
A CLIP is automatically started at the
beginning of a BIN. If the BIN already contains
video the next CLIP is appended after the last
CLIP in the BIN. A clip can never be inserted
between other clips in a bin.
The minimum length
of a CLIP is two seconds
.
