Cuing Files; Mark In Function; Cuing Via Time Code Entry (In Points) - Sony SR-R4 Operation Manual

Cuing Files

By setting a MARK IN point during recording or
playback, you can immediately cue up to that
point again later.
You can also cue up to a point by entering a time
code (IN point).

MARK IN Function

You can set a MARK IN point using the control
panel during recording or playback.
Tips
• A MARK IN point is active until the SRMemory card
is removed or until an IN point is entered.
• Up to three MARK IN points can be set in each file. If
you set additional points, the previous points will be
discarded starting with the oldest.
• The point setting may be off by one frame for
F65RAW-HFR recorded files.
To set a MARK IN point
While the HOME screen is displayed on the
control panel during recording or playback, press
the REC button while holding down the FUNC
button.
Information on MARK IN points is displayed in
the time data indication of the HOME screen as
follows.
• If a valid MARK IN point was set and is
currently active, "MK:XX:XX:XX" is
displayed.
• If an invalid MARK IN point was set and an IN
point has not been set, "MK: --:--:--:--" is
displayed.
Tip
If a MARK IN point is set while an IN point was already
set, the IN point will be discarded.
To open a MARK IN point
Opening the current MARK IN point
Display the HOME screen, and while a valid
MARK IN point set and active, press the PAUSE
button while holding down the FUNC button.
The file opens at the currently active MARK IN
point.
The state in which the file is opened is determined
by the "FUNC MODE" setting of "PB
FUNCTION" in the SYSTEM Setup menu.
Opening a MARK IN point from the File list
window
You can view MARK IN points set in each file
and open them from the File list window.
For details, see "Displaying and Opening MARK IN
Points" (page 41).

You can remove MARK IN points set in a file
using FILE LIST operations. (see page 41)
Cuing via Time Code Entry (IN
Points)
You can enter a time code to cue up in the
currently playing file.
Tips
• If multiple points that correspond with the entered time
code exist in the file or a corresponding point does not
exist, cuing will fail.
• An IN point is active until the SRMemory card is
removed or until MARK IN points are set.
To enter an IN point
Enter the time code in "IN POINT" under "PB
FUNCTION" of the SYSTEM Setup menu.
Information on the IN point is displayed in the
time data indication of the HOME screen as
follows.
• If a valid IN point is set, "IN:XX:XX:XX" is
displayed.
• If a valid MARK IN point or IN point is not set,
"MK: --:--:--:--" is displayed.
Tip
If an IN point is entered while an active MARK IN point
is set, the MARK IN point will be discarded.
