appears on the monitor.
• 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
300. If the loaded disc already contains 300 clips,
recording with the REC button is not possible. (The
message “Max # Clips” appears in the time data display
section.)
• 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.
For details, see
“Handling of Discs When Recording Does Not End
Normally (Salvage Functions)” on page 36.
To specify the frame to use as the
thumbnail image
You can display a list of thumbnails of all clips on a disc,
and use it to check the recorded content
.
When the unit is shipped from the factory, it is set up to
display the first frame of each clip as the thumbnail. As
required, you can select another frame to display as the
thumbnail.
For example, if there are several seconds of color bars
recorded at the start of the clip, selecting a frame after the
end of the recording of color bars can make it easier to
identify the clip.
You can use META DATA >INDEX POSITION in the
setup menu to select the position of the thumbnail image
by specifying a number of seconds after the first frame.
The selection range is 0 seconds (0 SEC) to 10 seconds (10
SEC).
To set shot marks
A SHOT MARK1 essence mark or SHOT MARK2
essence mark is set if you hold down the
M
/MARK1 or
m
/
MARK2 button and press the SET button during
recording.
If the unit is set up to display superimposed text
information
, “SHOTMARK1” or
“SHOTMARK2” appears every time you set an essence
mark.
When SHOT MARK1 or SHOT MARK2 essence marks
are set, you can search for the shot marks by displaying
thumbnails of the frames at those positions
.
You can also use shot mark positions as edit points during
scene selection operations
You can also set shot marks during playback. See page 42
for the procedure.
Recording with the Clip Continuous
Rec Function
Normally, a clip is generated as an independent file every
time recording starts and stops. The Clip Continuous Rec
function allows you to continue recording to the same clip
until the function is stopped or turned off, regardless of
how many times recording starts and stops. This is
convenient if you want to avoid generating a large number
of short clips, or if you want to record without worrying
about the limit on the number of clips (maximum 300). A
REC START essence mark is recorded whenever
recording starts, which makes it easy to find the recording
start points.
To enable the function
Set OPERATIONAL FUNCTION >CLIP CONT. REC in
the setup menu to “ON”.
See “Setup Menu Operations” (page 90) for more
information about setup menu operations.
To record
Connect a controlling device to the REMOTE(9P)
connector of this unit and send a REC command.
To stop recording
Send a REC PAUSE command.
