Dividing clips over 4 GB in length
A continuous recording that is longer than the durations given below when an 8 GB P2 card is used in this unit will result in the automatic division of the recording into different clips.
Even so, the recordings on the two clips can be handled as a single clip in thumbnail operations (display, delete, repair, copy, etc.) on a P2 device.
Such a recording may be handled as separate clips in nonlinear editing software or on PCs.
