Dividing clips recorded on P2 cards
If P2 cards with a capacity of 8 GB or more are used on the camera, recording is automatically continued as another clip when a single continuous
recording time exceeds the following times. When thumbnails for clips are handled (displayed, deleted, restored, etc.) on P2 devices, they can be
handled as a single clip. Clips may be displayed as separate clips in nonlinear editing software and on a computer.
When recording on microP2 memory cards that exceed 32 GB in AVC-LongG codec, recording can be continued as the same clip by selecting the main
menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [FILE SPLIT] → [ONE FILE].
A clip will be divided into recording files of approximately 128 seconds each when [SHORT SPLIT] is selected in the main menu → [RECORDING
SETUP] → [FILE SPLIT]. They can be operated as a single clip when the thumbnails of clips are operated on the P2 device.
The dividing unit of the recording files will become smaller when [SHORT SPLIT] is selected while the rec during upload function is used, allowing to
make the timing to start the clip transfer earlier. For details, refer to "Rec during upload function" (page 210).
[SHORT SPLIT] is disabled in interval recording, one-shot recording, and loop recording modes.

CPS (Content Protection System)
The microP2 memory card supports the security function "Content Protection System" that allows encryption formatting to prevent data leak to third
parties.
To use the CPS function, set a CPS password to the body, and enable the microP2 memory card authentication and encryption formatting functions. An
encrypted microP2 memory card will be automatically recognized between devices where the same CPS password is set, and recording and playback
of the microP2 memory card are enabled. For details, refer to "Setting CPS password" (page 125).

NOTE
t Setting or deleting of CPS can be performed in the main menu → [CLIP] → [PROPERTY] → [CPS PASSWORD].
t Up to 16 characters can be input.
t The encrypted microP2 memory card is not recognized on the SD card slot in a computer.
t If the card is unable to be recognized, authenticate with the correct password or format and use the card as recording media. Recording data on the
card failed to be recognized cannot be checked. Do not perform any operation other than manual authentication and formatting with the failed card
inserted.
t To access the encrypted card from a computer in the USB device mode, authenticate the encrypted card with P2 Viewer Plus.
How to handle data recorded on P2 cards
P2 cards are semiconductor memory cards that are used as the recording medium in the professional video production and broadcasting devices that
make up the DVCPRO P2 series.
f Since data recorded in the P2 format is in a file format, they have excellent compatibility with computers. The file structure is a unique format, which
in addition to video and audio data in MXF files contains various other important information items. The folder structure links data recorded in the P2
format as shown below.
