TAPE LENGTH

Set the tape length of the cassette to be used in units of 10 minutes.

When you change the TAPE LENGTH value, the REC CYCLE value is recalculated and automatically updated.

The longer the tape length you set, the longer the recording cycle becomes.

Note

For recording, be sure to use a cassette of the same tape length specified on this menu. If a cassette of a different tape length is used, the TIME MODE indication will not match the actual recording time. The number included in the name of a DV- or DVM- series model indicates the tape length (unit: minute). (Ex.: 270 minutes with DV-270RM).

In case of a PDV- or PDVM-series model, the value obtained by multiplying the number included in the name by 1.5 corresponds the tape length (unit: minute). (Ex.: 276 minutes with PDV-184N).

TIME MODE

Set the time to record on a cassette of the specified tape length.

When you change the TIME MODE value, the REC CYCLE value is recalculated and automatically updated.

The smaller the TIME MODE value you set, the shorter the recording cycle becomes.

REC CYCLE

Set the recording cycle per camera change. Recording is made switching all the specified camera in turn with the same specified cycle.

When you change the REC CYCLE value, the TIME MODE value is recalculated and automatically updated.

The shorter the cycle you set, the smaller the TIME MODE value becomes.

Note

With the HSR-2/2P, the minimum value of the recording cycle valid for Playback During Recording mode is displayed in parentheses below the currently set value. Set the recording cycle to a value that is larger than the value in parentheses before actrivating Playback During Recording mode.

For details, see “Requirements for Playback During Recording” on page 2-12.
