Note

When a P2 card with a memory capacity of 8 GB or more is used in unit and a one-time continuous recording exceeds the prescribed duration (DVCPRO HD and the AVC- Intra100: about 5 minutes; AVC-Intra50: about 10 minutes) or when a one-time recording extends over more than one P2 card, the recording concerned will automatically be undertaken as a separate clip. At this time, each clip will be provided with its own COUNT value.

Example of recording (DVCPRO HD) a clip on one P2 card:

Recording start
