Continuing Recording While Exchanging Discs (Disc Exchange Cache Function); Recording With The Hdsdi Remote Control Function - Sony PDW-HR1 Operation Manual

If the unit is set up to display superimposed text
information (see page 54), "SHOTMARK1" or
"SHOTMARK2" appears every time you set an essence
mark.
When Shot Mark1 or Shot Mark2 essence marks are set,
you can search for the shot marks by displaying
thumbnails of the frames at those positions (see page 81).
You can also use shot mark positions as edit points during
scene selection operations (see page 90).
You can also set shot marks during playback. See page 68
for the procedure.
To set a clip flag
You can set one of the three types of flag (OK, NG or
KEEP) for the clip while it is being recorded by viewing its
video image and using the function menu (see page 60).
You can also set a clip flag during playback. See page 69
for details.
You can also set a clip flag on the GUI screen. See page 87
for details.
Continuing recording while
exchanging discs (disc exchange
cache function)
About 30 seconds (this duration may differ depending on
the state of a disc) of video and audio data can be recorded
to the unit's internal memory cache during a disc
exchange, and then written back to the newly loaded disc.
1
Check that the disc exchange cache indication is lit in
the system information (see page 32) of the basic
operation display.
2
If the disc exchange cache indication is not lit, set
"DISC EXCHANGE" sub-item on setup menu item
150 to "on" (see page 149).
The setting of 150 REC MODE can be changed even
during recording.
3
Exchange the disc.
During the period from the time when recording ends
on the current disc and the disc is ejected until the time
when the next disc is inserted, the unit records to its
internal cache memory. Then, after the new disc is
inserted, it copies the data from the cache to the disc
and resumes normal recording.
During cache recording, a popup window appears to
display the remaining capacity of the unit's internal
memory.

To stop disc exchange cache recording
Do any of the following during cache recording.
• Press the STOP button.
• Set "DISC EXCHANGE" sub-item on setup menu item
150 to "off".
Notes
• If the disc becomes full while "DISC EXCHANGE"
sub-item on setup menu item 150 is set to "on", the disc
is ejected and the unit continues to record to its internal
memory (for about 30 seconds depending on the state of
a disc).
• Recording and playback operations by all buttons and
dials other than the STOP button are disabled during
cache recording.
• If the amount of cache data exceeds the capacity of the
unit's internal memory during a disc exchange, an alarm
message appears and the data in cache memory is
overwritten. The internal memory always contains the
latest cache data, so the clip data will be continuous after
the next disc is inserted and recording to the disc
resumes.
• If you insert a disc that cannot be recorded, it is ejected
automatically. Insert a disc that can be recorded.
