Recording With The Hdsdi Remote Control Function; Recording With The Clip Continuous Rec Function - Sony 3-270-589-12 (1) Operating Instructions Manual

To set shot marks
A SHOT MARK1 essence mark or SHOT MARK2
essence mark is set if you hold down the M/MARK1 or m/
MARK2 button and press the SET button during
recording.
If the unit is set up to display superimposed text
information (see page 40), "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 56).
You can also use shot mark positions as edit points during
scene selection operations (see page 70).
You can also set shot marks during playback. See page 52
for the procedure.
Recording with the HDSDI Remote
Control Function
This section explains the settings required for recording in
HDSDI remote control mode, and how the unit operates in
this mode.
Note
The unit (camcorder) that controls this unit must also
support HDSDI remote output.
Settings
Set INTERFACE SELECT >REMOTE I/F in the setup
menu to "HDSDI", and set the remote control switch on
the front panel to "REMOTE".
This unit enters HDSDI remote control mode, in which it
is controlled by command packets received via the HDSDI
INPUT connector.
Note
The following limitations apply in HDSDI remote control
mode.
• Commands received via the REMOTE(9P) connector
are ignored.
• All of the controls on the front panel are disabled, except
for the EJECT button.
Monitor display in HDSDI remote control mode
"REMOTE/HDSDI" appears in the operating mode
display area (see page 18) of the monitor. This display
lights if command packets are multiplexed into HDSDI
signals, and flashes if they are not. However, the
"REMOTE/HDSDI" continues to flash from the time the
controlling camcorder is powered on until the time that the
REC button is pressed on the camcorder.

Recording
Recording operation
When a recordable disc is inserted, recording (or stop) is
executed according to the REC (or STOP) command
multiplexed into the HDSDI signals.
Recording stops automatically when the end of the disc is
reached.
When HDSDI signals are interrupted during
recording
Recording stops if HDSDI signals are interrupted during
recording, for example because the HDSDI cable is
disconnected or the controlling camcorder is powered off.
When HDSDI signal input is restored, the unit resumes
operation according to the multiplexed REC or STOP
command.
Exchanging discs
Even during recording, it is possible to eject discs by
pressing the EJECT button on the front panel. After a disc
is exchanged, the unit resumes operation according to the
multiplexed REC or STOP command.
Recording with the Clip Continuous
Rec Function
Normally, a clip is generated as an independent file every
time recording starts and stops. The Clip Continuous Rec
function allows you to continue recording to the same clip
until the function is stopped or turned off, regardless of
how many times recording starts and stops. This is
convenient if you want to avoid generating a large number
of short clips, or if you want to record without worrying
about the limit on the number of clips (maximum 300). A
REC START essence mark is recorded whenever
recording starts, which makes it easy to find the recording
start points.
To enable the function
Set OPERATIONAL FUNCTION >CLIP CONT. REC in
the setup menu to "ON".
See "Setup Menu Operations" (page 105) for more
information about setup menu operations.
To record
Connect a controlling device to the REMOTE(9P)
connector of this unit and send a REC command.
To stop recording
Send a REC PAUSE command.
To stop the function
Do one of the following to stop the Clip Continuous Rec
function. (A new clip will be generated the next time you
start recording.)
