Searching with thumbnails

By using the thumbnails that appear in the various thumbnail screens, you can easily cue up and play clips and sub clips.

Using thumbnails to find clips

The clip thumbnail screen displays thumbnails of all clips recorded on the disc. You can use this screen to cue up the selected clip and to carry out playback (see page 107).

See “Selecting thumbnails” (page 104) for more information.

Using the expand function to find scenes

The expand function allows you to divide a selected clip into equally sized blocks, and to display thumbnails of the first frame in each block. This is a quick and efficient way to review the selected clip and search for target scenes. You can specify 12, 144, or 1728 divisions.

Note

The maximum number of blocks may be other than 1728 when the recorded duration of the clip is short. In this case, the frame interval of expanded thumbnails is fixed at 1 frame. This allows you to view expanded thumbnails at equal intervals.

See page 103 for more information about thumbnail screen operations.

1 In the clip thumbnail screen, select the thumbnail of the clip that contains the scene you want to find.

2 Press the DISP SEL/EXPAND button.

The selected clip is divided into 12 blocks, and a list appears in the expand thumbnail screen (see page 98) with the first frame of each block displayed as a thumbnail.

3 Select the thumbnail that you want to expand further.

4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 up to 2 times, as required.

Note

Thumbnails cannot be further expanded when they already have the minimum duration (1 frame).

To return to the previous expansion level

Press the DISP SEL/EXPAND button with the SHIFT button held down.

To display the expand thumbnail screen of the previous or next clip

With the expand thumbnail screen still active, press the PREV button or the NEXT button.
