Automatically Creating New ClipLink Log Data

Operation ClipLink 5 Chapter

How to record ClipLink log data

The following describes how to record the various ClipLink log data items on DVCAM camcorders which support the ClipLink function.

OK/NG status

To designate a scene as “NG”, press the NG button on the camera while shooting the scene or at any time before you begin shooting the next scene.

All scenes that do not receive an “NG” designation are recorded as “OK” scenes.

(When you exit the VTR recording mode, changing the OK/NG status is no longer possible.)

Mark IN/OUT points time codes

This data is especially useful when shooting a video program for which a scenario has been created.

Set the camera to MARK mode before you start shooting. While shooting, each time you press the camera’s TAKE button, Mark IN and Mark OUT time codes are recorded alternately.

Cue point time codes

This type of data is especially useful when shooting scenes that may contain unexpected events, such as when shooting for sports coverage or documentaries. Set the camera to CUE mode before you start to record. While recording, each time you press the camera’s TAKE button, the current time code is recorded as a cue point time code.
