Backup recording
If you have connected equipment to the 1394
terminal (pages 77 and 78), you can make
automatic backup recordings of whatever you are
shooting.
• In the setup menus, OTHER FUNCTIONS
screen, 1394 CONTROL and 1394 CMD SEL,
select how to control the equipment you have
connected. (Page 114)
• Select the settings below for the following items
on the DISPLAY SETUP screen (page 112) for
backup recording when using a tape.
• OFF for VIDEO OUT OSD
• OFF for DATE/TIME
Note the following when backup recording.
• When performing backup recording while a tape
is used:
• If either of the following settings have been
selected,
the OSD will be output to the 1394
output at all times except when the unit is in
the recording mode
.
- When ON has been set for the VIDEO OUT
OSD option on the DISPLAY SETUP screen
(page 112)
- When a setting other than OFF has been
selected for the DATE/TIME option on the
DISPLAY SETUP screen (page 112)
• Bear in mind that the OSD may be recorded
inadvertently if backup recording is performed
when a setting other than OFF is selected for
the 1394 CONTROL option (page 114) on the
OTHER FUNCTIONS screen.
• If the DATE/TIME button on the remote control
is pressed,
the date and time will be output
to the 1394 output regardless of whether
recording is underway or the recording
standby status is established
.
• Menu settings are retained even if you turn the
power off. So if you use the camera-recorder with
the settings for backup recording still in effect,
images on media in any unit that connected may
be overwritten. After backup recording, check
the menu item settings before you operate the
camera-recorder.
• If you use another AG-HVX202AEN/AG-HVX202
as the external unit for backup recording, select
“OFF” for 1394 CONTROL on the external unit
and set it to MCR/VCR mode.
• Backup recording may not work properly if you
connect two or more external units.
• Use a 1394 (IEEE1394) cable of 4.5 m or less for
connection.
• Set the external unit up to receive 1394 signals
before backup recording.
• You can have a media in the external unit start
recording automatically when the media in this
unit is almost finished. Set 1394 CONTROL
(page 114) to “CHAIN”.
• Note that images are recorded even when you
perform a rec check if a P2 card is being used:
When a tape is used, no images are output
during rec check.
• You cannot perform backup recording when the
unit is set up for native recording.
• Backup recording does not work in three of
the special recording modes of the P2 card:
Interval recording, One-shot recording and Loop
recording. (Pages 47 - 49)
• Backup recording does not work during direct
shooting (page 66) in MCR mode.
