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.

Recording format	Recording duration
DVCPRO HD	Approx. 5 min.
DVCPRO50	Approx. 10 min.
DVCPRO/DV	Approx. 20 min.
AVC-Intra50*	Approx. 10 min.

*Available when the optional AVC-Intra Codec board AJ- YBX200G is installed

Introduction

LOOP REC Function

When two or more P2 card slots contain cards, the unit records continuously by switching cards. When available space on the P2 cards has been used up, recording continues from the first card overwriting previously recorded loop recording.

To use this function, set LOOP REC in the setup menu to “ON”. ➝For details, refer to “Setup Menu No. 041 (LOOP REC)”

(page 123).

Loop recording records the unrecorded areas (A ￿ B ￿ C order) on the P2 cards. When all unrecorded areas on the cards have been recorded, recording continues by overwriting previous loop recording in area A (D).
