User data recording
You can record user data (files other than XDCAM AV
files) on Professional Discs as PC data via the i.LINK or
FTP interface.

Carrying out recording

One recording segment (from the start to the end of
recording) is called a "clip".
See "Clips" (page 90) for more information about clips.
1
Insert a disc (see page 61).
2
Hold down the REC button, and press the PLAY
button.
Recording starts.
3
To stop recording, press the STOP button.
To pause recording, press the PAUSE button.
During pause, press the PAUSE button again to
resume recording.
If the disc becomes full
Recording stops and the message "Disc Full!" appears on
the monitor.
Notes
• The shortest clip that can be recorded is 2 seconds long.
Even if recording start and stop operations are performed
within 2 seconds, a 2-second clip is recorded.
• The maximum number of clips that can be recorded is
300. If the loaded disc already contains 300 clips,
recording operation is not possible. (The message
"MAX # Clips" appears in the time data display area.)
• This unit can record video input signals that are not
synchronized to a reference signal. However, in that
case, video breakup and audio noise may occur in E-E
playback.
• During recording, do not turn off the POWER switch on
the connector panel or disconnect the power cord. This
could cause the clip being recorded to be lost.
For details, see "Handling of discs when recording does
not end normally (salvage functions)" (page 65).
To adjust the audio recording levels
When carrying out audio recording at a reference
level
Set the VARIABLE/PRESET switch for recording to
PRESET.
The audio signals will be recorded at a preset reference
level.
You can change the reference level and the input levels
with maintenance menu item M37: AUDIO CONFIG.
See page 168 for more information about how to make
maintenance menu settings.
Manually adjusting the audio recording levels
Set the VARIABLE/PRESET switch for recording to
VARIABLE and adjust the ALL/CH-1 and CH-2 to CH-4
knobs so that the audio level indications on the audio level
meters do not exceed 0 dB for a maximum volume. Carry
out the adjustment in E-E mode.
See setup menu item 108 AUTO EE SELECT (page 148)
for more information about the signal output settings in E-
E mode.
To set shot marks
A Shot Mark1 essence mark or Shot Mark2 essence mark
is set if you hold down the V/MARK1 or v/MARK2
button and press the PUSH SET knob or the SET button
