Text memos & Shot marks

Each clip can incorporate comments, in the form of text memo added to the thumbnail associated with the time code, together with shot marks which, for example, can help you distinguish OK cuts from reject cuts.

Both text memos and shot marks can be added to selected clips during and after a recording. This is helpful for editing recorded video.

In addition, you can use the copy function for each text memo block to take only the necessary portions out of a clip.

Front-mounted Sound Level Control Mechanism

The unit features a front-mounted control for fine adjustment of the sound recording level. This control is particularly effective for adjusting the sound level when you are shooting without a sound recordist. The control can be disabled. (Refer to page 16)

Support for Built-in Unislot Wireless Receive

The unit is designed to support an optional slot-in wireless receiver. (Refer to pages 114 and 193) The unit also supports 2-channel wireless receivers.

Recording Review Capability

This capability automatically plays back the last 2 to 10 seconds of recorded video, allowing you to quickly check the recorded contents.

Built-in Time Code Generator/reader

Aspecial-purpose subcode track can be used to record and reproduce time code information.

Support for Metadata

The unit is capable of recording positional information (latitudes, longitudes and altitudes), as UMID information (metadata), from the GPS unit AJ-GPS910G (optional). Names/titles can also be recorded, e.g. the camera person, the reporter, or the program which was registered on the SD memory card in advance. This information is also useful in managing information on clips. Regarding SD memory cards, please also see <Cautions in using SD memory cards> (page 22).

Notes

The values for 8 GB and 16 GB P2 cards are 1/4 and 1/2 those of 32 GB cards shown above.

If the one-time continuous recording exceeds the duration which is given in the table below when a P2 card with a memory capacity of 8 GB or more is used in the unit, the recording is automatically continued on a separate clip. When performing thumbnail operations (such as display, delete, repair or copy) for these kinds of clips using a P2 device, it is possible to perform the operations for the entire recording as a single clip. However, with nonlinear editing software or a PC, the recording may be displayed as separate clips.
