Data Generated When Shooting

The following describes the kinds of data that is generated when using the ClipLink function.

Index Pictures

When shooting, a single-frame image from the Mark IN point at the start of each scene is recorded as a still picture into the DSR-1/1P’s internal memory. These images are called “Index Pictures”. When you finish shooting, the Index Pictures from all scenes are recorded onto the tape after the last scene.

internal memory

After shooting, the Index Pictures in the internal memory are recorded onto the video tape.

Up to 32 Index Pictures can be recorded onto the tape space normally occupied by one frame, as shown below.

Seven frame spaces are reserved at the end of the last scene as a recording area for Index Pictures. (A cassette with 16 Kbits of cassette memory can record up to 198 Index Pictures, and a cassette with 4 Kbits of cassette memory can record up to 45 Index Pictures.)

ClipLink log data includes the following items.

 

 

 

ClipLink log data

Description

 

 

 

 

Reel number (cassette number)

Data (maximum length:

8 digits) consisting of alphanumeric characters and/or

 

symbols (This is left blank at shipping.)

 

 

Scene number

A three-digit number from 001 to 198 (starts at 001 and is automatically incremented

 

with each scene).

 

 

 

Take number

This cannot be changed (set to “1” at shipping).

 

 

OK/NG

Indicates the OK/NG status of a particular scene. (In the OK case, nothing is

 

recorded.)

 

 

 

Mark IN/OUT point time codes

These are the time codes that indicate the Mark IN and Mark OUT points for each

 

scene (HH:MM:SS). These time codes are recorded when the camera has been set to

 

MARK mode.

 

 

The frame digit is incremented at each Mark IN point and is decremented at each Mark

 

OUT point. (For details, see “Time codes recorded for Mark IN/OUT points” on page

 

14.)

 

 

 

Cue point time code

This is the time code that indicates the cue points (valid up to the frame digit). This

 

time code is recorded when the camera has been set to CUE mode. When in this

 

mode, the time codes at the start and end of a recording (the Rec IN and Rec OUT

 

time codes) are automatically recorded as Mark IN/OUT points.
