Playback and Recording 3 Chapter

To set shot marks

A SHOT MARK1 essence mark or SHOT MARK2 essence mark is set if you hold down the M/MARK1 or m/ MARK2 button and press the SET button during recording.

If the unit is set up to display superimposed text information (see page 40), “SHOTMARK1” or “SHOTMARK2” appears every time you set an essence mark.

When SHOT MARK1 or SHOT MARK2 essence marks are set, you can search for the shot marks by displaying thumbnails of the frames at those positions (see page 56). You can also use shot mark positions as edit points during scene selection operations (see page 70).

You can also set shot marks during playback. See page 52 for the procedure.

Recording with the HDSDI Remote Control Function

This section explains the settings required for recording in HDSDI remote control mode, and how the unit operates in this mode.

Note

The unit (camcorder) that controls this unit must also support HDSDI remote output.

Settings

Set INTERFACE SELECT >REMOTE I/F in the setup menu to “HDSDI”, and set the remote control switch on the front panel to “REMOTE”.

This unit enters HDSDI remote control mode, in which it is controlled by command packets received via the HDSDI INPUT connector.

Note

The following limitations apply in HDSDI remote control mode.

•Commands received via the REMOTE(9P) connector are ignored.

•All of the controls on the front panel are disabled, except for the EJECT button.

Monitor display in HDSDI remote control mode “REMOTE/HDSDI” appears in the operating mode display area (see page 18) of the monitor. This display lights if command packets are multiplexed into HDSDI signals, and flashes if they are not. However, the “REMOTE/HDSDI” continues to flash from the time the controlling camcorder is powered on until the time that the REC button is pressed on the camcorder.

Recording operation

When a recordable disc is inserted, recording (or stop) is executed according to the REC (or STOP) command multiplexed into the HDSDI signals.

Recording stops automatically when the end of the disc is reached.

When HDSDI signals are interrupted during recording

Recording stops if HDSDI signals are interrupted during recording, for example because the HDSDI cable is disconnected or the controlling camcorder is powered off. When HDSDI signal input is restored, the unit resumes operation according to the multiplexed REC or STOP command.

Exchanging discs

Even during recording, it is possible to eject discs by pressing the EJECT button on the front panel. After a disc is exchanged, the unit resumes operation according to the multiplexed REC or STOP command.

Recording with the Clip Continuous Rec Function

Normally, a clip is generated as an independent file every time recording starts and stops. The Clip Continuous Rec function allows you to continue recording to the same clip until the function is stopped or turned off, regardless of how many times recording starts and stops. This is convenient if you want to avoid generating a large number of short clips, or if you want to record without worrying about the limit on the number of clips (maximum 300). A REC START essence mark is recorded whenever recording starts, which makes it easy to find the recording start points.

To enable the function

Set OPERATIONAL FUNCTION >CLIP CONT. REC in the setup menu to “ON”.

See “Setup Menu Operations” (page 105) for more information about setup menu operations.

To record

Connect a controlling device to the REMOTE(9P) connector of this unit and send a REC command.

To stop recording

Send a REC PAUSE command.

To stop the function

Do one of the following to stop the Clip Continuous Rec function. (A new clip will be generated the next time you start recording.)
