Loading And Ejecting Sxs Memory Cards - Sony PDWHR1 Operation Manual

• When inserting a memory card, insert with the label side
facing the correct direction.
• Carry and store SxS memory cards in their cases, and
lock the cases securely.
• Guard against accidents and inadvertent data loss by
backing up the data stored on SxS memory cards. Sony
cannot be responsible for any consequences of damage
to or loss of data stored on SxS memory cards.
• Do not attach anything other than the supplied labels in
the designated label space. When attaching a label, make
sure it does not protrude beyond the label space.
Label space
• Use this board to format SxS memory cards that will be
used with this board. When memory cards are formatted
on a unit other than this board or XDCAM EX devices,
the format is regarded as an invalid format, making it
necessary to format the memory cards again. However,
note that the format and delete functions of this board do
not completely remove data from memory cards. Before
discarding or disposing of a memory card, erase it using
commercial data erasure software, or physically destroy
it. Sony cannot be responsible for any failure to erase
data completely.
• Clip operations may not be possible when the remaining
capacity of the media is low. In this case, use a computer
to delete unneeded files and try again.
• Open the memory card case completely before storing a
card in the case or removing a card from the case.
To prevent accidental erasure
You can prevent accidental recording, editing, and
deletion of data on an SxS memory card by setting the
write protect switch to the WP side.
Note
Do not touch the write protect switch while an SxS
memory card is loaded in a memory card slot. Eject the
card before setting the write protect switch.
