■Clip thumbnail preview
The camera records each cut as a clip (file) and automatically attaches a thumbnail image
and file information to it. To preview a clip on the LCD monitor or to check clip data, simply
choose the clip you want from the list of thumbnails. These thumbnails and the file data
can be viewed on a PC (P2 Viewer
* "P2 Viewer" is a Windows
by P2 card users.
■Shot marker and text memo
If desired, you can add a simple OK/reject shot marker to each clip either during or after
recording. When a P2 card is mounted in a PC (P2 Viewer), the PC will display only
marked clips.
A text memo function is also provided. Pressing the USER button to which the text memo
function has been assigned anywhere in a clip during recording or in preview mode allows
you to attach empty post-it like text memos (up to 100) that can later be filled with text on
a PC (P2 Viewer).
■SD memory card slot
The camera provides an SD memory card slot for saving and loading scene files and user
settings. A metadata upload file (created using P2 Viewer) containing the name of the
person who shot the video, the name of the reporter, the shooting location or a text memo
and other information can be saved to an SD memory card. This data file can be loaded
as clip metadata.
■HD/SD SDI output and downconverter supported
Video line outputs (both BNC) are provided as standard. These outputs can flexibly
handle both monitor and line recording. A down-converter is also built-in. Aspect mode
can also be selected.
●SDI OUT (HD/SD): The HD-SDI output allows you to make backups on an external
VTR (with HD-SDI input) in synch with REC START/STOP button
operation. SD-SDI can also down convert and output HD content.
●VIDEO OUT: Outputs down converted SD video (composite video).
■Fine adjustment of sound recording level
The camera features a front-mounted control for fine adjustment of the sound recording
level. This control is particularly useful for adjusting the sound level when you have to
control both video and audio recording. The control can be disabled.
