Normal and Variable Speed Playback

The PLAY/PAUSE button provides monochrome playback through the viewfinder and color playback on the LCD monitor. A color video monitor connected to the VIDEO OUT or MON OUT connector of camera-recorder also provides color playback.

The VIDEO OUT connector outputs an SDI playback (to view the playback, the OUTPUT SEL switch on the side panel must be positioned to [MEM]).

Variable speed playback

The FF and REW buttons provide 32a and 4a fast playbacks and fast reverse playbacks.

When playback is paused, the FF button locates the beginning of the next clip while maintaining the pause mode.

When playback is paused, the REW button locates the beginning of the current clip while maintaining the pause mode.

‹Notes

zThe camera-recorder cannot play back clips where the system mode differs. If this is the case, set the system mode of camera-recorder to the format of the desired clip before playing it back.

zWhen a P2 card has been just removed or inserted, or when the power has been just turned on for playback, it may take some time for camera-recorder to read clip information. If this is the case, the viewfinder displays “UPDATING”. If data is played back when the P2 card is being recognized, the message “CANNOT PLAY” will be displayed.

zIf a P2 card is inserted while another P2 card is being played back, the clips on the inserted P2 card will not be played back. A P2 card inserted during playback will be recognised after playback ends.

zIf you perform variable speed playback on a clip split across more than one P2 card, sound may disappear for a moment. This is not a fault.

Text Memo Function

Text memos are time-coded thumbnails added to any video point when a clip is being recorded or played back. The Text Memo button adds text memo information at the appropriate point. You can edit added text memos using the P2 viewer.

Through a thumbnail display, you can choose and play back the text memo point or copy any portion. For more information, see [Text Memo] (page 115).

‹Notes

zOne clip can have up to 100 text memos.

zText memos can also be recorded when the LCD monitor is in thumbnail mode. In this case, the text memo is added to the position on the clip where the cursor is set (normally at the beginning) only.

zText memos cannot be recorded when the color bar is output or the unit is in LOOP REC mode and INTERVAL REC mode.

zFor a clip with voice memos added through the AJ- SPX800 or any other camera-recorder, you can record up to 100 text and voice memos in combination. For information about voice memos, see the instruction manual for the AJ-SPX800.
