Clips
Material recorded on a disc with this unit is managed in
units called "clips." A clip contains the material between a
recording start point (In point) and a recording end point
(Out point).
Clips have names beginning with "C," for example
"C0001."

Sub clips (clips in clip lists)
The specified clips (or parts of clips) in a clip list are called
"sub clips." Sub clips are virtual data specifying ranges in
the original clips. Clip data in the original clips is not
overwritten.

Clip list editing (current clip list)
Clip lists cannot be edited on disc. To edit clip lists, you
need to load them, one at a time, into the unit memory.
The clip list which is currently loaded into the unit memory
is called the "current clip list."
The current clip list is always the target of sub clip creation
and editing. Clip list playback also uses the current clip
list.
After creating and editing a clip list, you need to save it to
disc.
