Proxy Recording Function (Optional) - Panasonic AG-HPX370 Operating Instructions Manual

• The clip does not stop combining even when the STOP
button is pressed in the Menu or on the thumbnail display.
• Pressing the STOP or REC button on a remote control unit
(AJ-RC10G) or extension control unit (AG-EC4G) does not
stop the clip compiling process.
To exit one-clip recording mode
Set the menu option ONE CLIP REC to OFF.
To cue to the start of the combined
section of the clip
A text memo can be automatically added to the start of the
recording, the start of a section can be cued for playback,
and the thumbnail of the location can be checked before
each recording.
To automatically add a text memo to the start point of the
recording, set the menu option START TEXT MEMO to ON
in the RECORDING SETUP screen.
Check and playback the location of the added text memo
by selecting THUMBNAIL → TEXT MEMO CLIPS from the
Thumbnail Menu and moving the cursor over the desired
clip.
Refer to [Playing back a clip at the position where a text
memo is recorded] (page 116) for details.
To cue to the location of the text memo during playback,
set the menu option SEEK SELECT to CLIP&T in the
OTHER FUNCTIONS screen, and press the FF or REW
button while playback is paused.
Proxy recording in one-clip recording
mode
Proxy recording is also possible in one-clip recording
mode.
As proxy data is also compiled into combined clips,
the data can be handled as a single clip in P2 Viewer.
However, note the following precautions when recording
proxy data to an SD memory card.
• If the SD memory card is removed and replaced while
compiling to a clip is in progress, proxy data will not
be recorded to the new SD memory card until the
compiling process is stopped. Check that there is
sufficient space and confirm the number of files (up
to 1000 clips can be recorded) before using an SD
memory card. If you want to continue proxy recording
after an SD memory card has been replaced, press and
hold the STOP button for about 2 seconds to stop the
compiling process, and start recording to a new clip.
• If recording to an SD memory card is stopped mid-
progress, the proxy data recorded on that card will be
incomplete and will not match the clip data recorded to
the P2 card.
Precautions for one-clip recording mode
• This mode will not function when the interval recording,
one-shot recording, loop recording, or VFR recording
functions are selected.
• This mode will not function when the menu option REC
SIGNAL is set to 1394.
• The menu and thumbnail operations are restricted as
follows when combining to the clip. Press and hold the
STOP button for about 2 seconds to stop combining to
the clip when switching to this mode.
• The following menu items cannot be changed.
SYSTEM MODE, REC SIGNAL, CAMERA MODE,
REC FORMAT, PC MODE, REC FUNCTION,
25M REC CH SEL
 NOTE
You can change the VFR menu option to ON using the
scene dial or menu, even while compiling to a clip is
in progress. When you do so, the compiling process
is stopped, and a new clip will be created with each
recording operation thereafter.
• The following Menu items, related to the reading/
writing of the SD memory card and reading of the
settings file, cannot be executed.
LOAD/SAVE/INIT in SCENE FILE, all options in
CARD FUNCTIONS, CAC CARD READ in LENS
SETUP, USER FILE and MENU INIT in OTHER
FUNCTIONS
• The following thumbnail menu items cannot be
selected and executed.

• The processing time to complete the recording may
take a little more time than normally to allow the clip to
be combined with subsequent recordings.
• The fade process does not work on discontinuous audio
during playback where the recordings are combined
within the clip.
• If non-linear editing software is used on clips with
multiple combined recordings, the software may not
operate normally (as of Apr. 2010).
For the latest information on software that has been
confirmed to work with these types of clips, visit the
support desk at the following website.
