Disc playback start position
Although this unit uses optical discs, it is designed to offer
the most convenient features of tape playback by VTRs.
One of these is the playback start position, which works in
the same way as tape, as described below.
After playback stop
The unit stops at the position where the STOP button was
pressed.
Press the PLAY button to resume playback at the stop
position.
After recording
The unit stops at the position where recording ended.
To play back a clip, press the PREV button to move to the
start frame of any clip or press the PREV button with the
PLAY button held down to move to any position.
After disc insertion
The unit stops at the position of the disc when it was most
recently ejected.
Press the PLAY button to resume playback at the most
recent position.
The playback position is saved to the disc when the disc is
ejected, which allows playback to start at that position
whenever it is loaded into any XDCAM player.
Note
This function is not available when the Write Inhibit tab of
the disc is set to the recording disabled position, and when
REC INH on HOME page of the function menu is set to
"ON".
The REC INHI indicator may light when neither of the
above is true if the format of recorded sections on the disc
is not the same as the recording settings of this unit. In this
case, the playback position can be saved to the disc.
1080/720 cross convert function
You can output 720 while playing discs recorded as 1080,
and output 1080 while playing discs recorded as 720.

59.94P/29.97P or 50i/50P/25P) matches the system
frequency of the unit, but the system line settings (1080 or
