Recording Proxy Data
UDF
Proxy data is made up of low-resolution video
data (MPEG-4) and audio data (A-Low) (video:
1.5 Mbps; audio: 64 Kbps per channel). This
lightweight proxy data can be used in the same
way as the original data, but it can be transferred
more quickly, for more efficient viewing and
editing.
In UDF mode, proxy data is generated and
recorded automatically when you record video
and audio with a USB flash drive connected to the
external device connector. By loading the proxy
data from the USB flash drive into a computer,
you can quickly check the recorded content or
perform rapid offline editing.
Note
Do not power this unit off or do not remove the USB
flash drive while the USB flash drive is being accessed.
Doing so may cause the loss of all data recorded on the
USB flash drive.
Recording Proxy Data While
Recording Clips
You can record proxy data to a USB flash drive
while recording clips to an SxS memory card.
1
Set MAINTENANCE >USB >Memory
Rec in the setup menu to [Enable].
2
Connect a USB flash drive formatted
with the FAT32 file system to the
external device connector (see page 73).
3
Start recording.
At the same time that the original data is
recorded to an SxS memory card, proxy data
is saved to the automatically generated
\MSSONY\PRO\XDCAM\MEMDISC\
<Proav-ID> folder (Proav-ID is an ID
specified in the DISCMETA.XML file on the
SxS memory card).
Proxy data: Saved in <Proav-ID>\Sub\
