Playback and Recording 4 Chapter

is not the same as the recording settings of this unit. In this case, the playback position can be saved to the disc.

To specify the frame to use as the thumbnail image

You can display a list of thumbnails of all clips on a disc, and use it to check the recorded content (see page 59). When the unit is shipped from the factory, it is set up to display the first frame of each clip as the thumbnail. As required, you can select another frame to display as the thumbnail.

For example, if there are several seconds of color bars recorded at the start of the clip, selecting a frame several seconds after the end of the recording of color bars can make it easier to identify the clip.

The GUI screen allows you to select thumbnail frames while viewing the video.

For details, see “Changing clip index pictures” (page 62).

You can also use setup menu item 143 INDEX PICTURE POSITION to specify a different default frame. You can specify the initial frame in any of the first few seconds after the initial frame. The setting range is 0 seconds to 10 seconds.
