3-6-6 To Eject Discs With the Unit Powered Off
When battery power is low and at other times, it may not be possible to eject discs by pressing the EJECT button. In these situations, you can use the following as an emergency procedure to eject a disc manually.
1 Power the unit off.
2 Insert a Phillips screwdriver into the slit, as shown in the following illustration, and rotate the red screw in the counterclockwise direction.
Note
Use a screwdriver that fits into the slit. The width of the slit is approximately 2.5 mm.
The disc is ejected.
After removing the disc, you do not need to return the screw to its original position. Normal operation will resume when the unit is powered on again.
3-6-7 Using the Salvage Function
When XDCAM recording does not end normally, the file system is not updated, video and audio data recorded in real time is not recognized as files, and clip contents recorded up to that point are lost.
However, this unit has a salvage function which can hold losses to the minimum by reconstructing clips on such discs.
Notes
•This function salvages as much recorded material as possible after an unforeseen accident, but 100% restoration cannot be guaranteed.
•Even when this function is used, it is not possible to recover data from immediately before the interruption of recording. (From 4 to 6 seconds of data before the interruption of recording are lost.)
Full salvage
When a disc that was manually ejected from a device subjected to a recording interruption due to power off is loaded into this unit, clips are reconstructed on the basis of markers recorded on the disc. Processing time is about 30 seconds, although it depends on the state of the disc. Proceed as follows to perform a full salvage.
1 Insert the disc on which recording did not end normally.
The message “Salvage ?” appears.
2 Do one of the following.
To salvage
Press the SET button.
Processing begins and the message “Executing.” appears.
Notes
•If a write protected disc is loaded, the message “EJECT?” appears. Eject the disc, set the write- protect tab to the recording enable position, and insert the disc again.
•This operation cannot be cancelled once it begins.
A message appears to display the results when processing finishes. If the message reads “Incomplete!,” the clips that failed were lost.
To exit without salvaging
Press the RESET button.
The state of section where recording was interrupted is saved, but no salvage processing is done.
Sections which were recorded normally can be played back, but no new recording can be done on the disc. (A quick format can be done on the disc, although all of its contents will be lost.)
Note
Unless clips are salvaged, the message “Salvage ?” appears again the next time the disc is inserted or the unit is powered on.
