■Thumbnails for Managing Clips Visually

The 9-inch color LCD monitor on the front panel displays clips (thumbnails) that represent P2 card content. Settings can be made to show only specific clips in the thumbnail screen.

Clips selected from the thumbnail list can be played back immediately, shot marks can be added, file data regarding the clips can be confirmed and added and other clip management operations are also available.

<About clips>

A clip is a single data item that contains video, audio, metadata and other additional information. Normally, a clip is one shot generated from the start of recording until recording stops. However, when a shot spans multiple P2 cards, the video on each card is handled as an independent clip. The image at the start of recording appears in the thumbnail screen as a representative image of that clip.

■Control of external devices

The RS-422A and IEEE1394 interfaces enable control of a connected device. RS-422A enables automatic capture of audio and video by specifying IN/OUT on an external device.

■Creating Play Lists and the Playback Function

You can select video and audio recorded on the P2 cards installed in the unit for playback in the desired order.

●A wealth of play list editing functions

•Audio IN point split: The play list makes it possible to move the audio IN point forward or backward relative to the video IN point.

•Voice-over: Separately recorded audio data can replace an audio segment on one or two channels during playback.

•AV overwrite editing: This feature allows you to overwrite edit and play back any audio and video segment (for 2 channels) on the play list.

■Time code/Player function for editing provided

This unit has a built-in TCG (time code generator) and TCR (time code reader). In addition to the internal time code, external time code input or a VITC input signal can be recorded as the time code.

The unit can also be used as a player for an editing system using RS-422A.
