EX system makes each new recording on an

 

empty area of the card. This is extremely

 

convenient, as the camera operator need not

 

worry about accidentally recording over good

Instant-access thumbnail display with “Expand”

 

function

 

Each time a recording is started and stopped on

 

the XDCAM EX camcorder, the video and audio

 

signals are recorded as one clip.

 

Furthermore, thumbnails are automatically

 

generated for each clip as a visual reference,

 

allowing the operator to cue-up to a desired scene

 

simply by guiding the cursor to a thumbnail. For

 

further convenience, the ‘Expand’ function

 

allows one selected clip in the Thumbnail display

 

to be divided into 12 equal time intervals, each

 

with its own thumbnail identifier. This is useful if

 

you wish to quickly search for a particular scene

 

within a lengthy clip.
