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-HVX200 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 DV (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 and 48)

•Backup recording does not work during direct shooting (page 66) in MCR mode.
