Chapter 3 Recording and playback

3-7 Rec-review function

When recording is temporarily stopped and the lens RET button is pressed, the last two seconds of the tape are automatically rewound, and the playback pictures on this part of the tape appear on the viewfinder screen. This makes it possible to check whether recording was performed properly.

After the two seconds of the tape have been played back, the unit is again set to the recording start standby mode.

If the RET button is held down, a maximum of 10 seconds of the tape is rewound and played back.

The RET button function can be allocated by opening the <USER SW> screen from the OPERATION page and selecting settings for the USER MAIN SW, USER1 SW and USER2 SW items by performing menu operations.

<Notes>

≥The rec-review function cannot be used unless recording lasts for one or more seconds.

≥If the OUTPUT SEL switch on the side panel is at the VTR position during the rec-review operation, the rec-review images are output not only to the viewfinder but to the video output connectors (VIDEO OUT connector and HD SDI connector) as well. Bear in mind that if back-up images are being recorded by a backup VTR that has been connected, these rec-review images will end up being recorded.

3-8 Normal playback and playback at different speeds

Black-and-white playback images can be viewed in the viewfinder by pressing the PLAY button. When a color monitor is connected to the unit’s VIDEO OUT connector and an HD color video monitor is connected to its HD SDI connector at the same time, the down-converted color playback images from the VIDEO OUT connector can be viewed on the color monitor while the HD high-quality images from the HD SDI connector can be viewed on the HD color video monitor.

≥In order to view these images, the OUTPUT SEL switch on the side panel must be set to the VTR position.

In addition, when the FF and REW buttons are used, the images can be played back at different speeds by establishing the cue mode (PLAY + FF), review mode (PLAY + REW), high-speed fast forward playback mode (FF) or high-speed rewind playback mode (REW).
