Using an External HDD

You can connect a HDD to the USB port of the switcher
processor to carry out the following operations.
Format: Format the HDD
Backup: Batch save files from frame memory to the HDD.
Restore: Restore frame memory from files saved on the
HDD.
Since image data saved in memory is lost when the system
is powered off, using an external HDD allows important
data to be saved.
Notes
• Only one HDD can be connected to a single switcher
processor.
• While the HDD is being accessed, frame memory
operations are not possible. This applies to all operations
for frame memory, including frame memory recall by a
snapshot operation.
• When a pair is assigned to the target selection buttons
during playback of a frame memory clip (see page 165),
frame memory operations may not be executed
correctly.
Carry out frame memory operations after stopping clip
playback.
• When the signal format is 1080P, this function cannot be
used.
For details about the HDDs that can be connected, consult
your Sony service or sales representative.

When the system is operating in Dual Simul mode, select
the target switcher from which to carry out formatting, file
saving, and file recall operations.
For details about Dual Simul mode, see "Selecting the
