• These functions salvage as much recorded material as
possible after an unforeseen accident, but 100%
restoration cannot be guaranteed.
• Even when these functions are used, it is not possible to
recover data from immediately before the interruption of
recording. The amount of data lost is as follows.
Quick salvage: From 2 to 4 seconds of data before the
interruption of recording.
Full salvage: From 4 to 6 seconds of data before the
interruption of recording.
(More data may be lost when the unit is subject to
vibrations, and when you switch frequently between
recording and paused.)
• You are prompted to execute a full salvage every time
you insert a disc that has not been salvaged, or power the
unit on with such as disc loaded.
• No recording is possible on discs containing clips that
have not been salvaged, although it is possible to play
back the normally recorded sections. Recording
becomes possible if you perform a quick format, but this
erases all of the original recorded content.
To restore clips with a full salvage
1
Insert the disc on which recording did not end
normally.
The message “Salvage ?” appears on the display.
To cancel the clip salvage
Press the RESET/RETURN button.
Notes
• The message “EJECT?” appears when “REC INHI”
is displayed. If the disc is write protected, eject the
disc, set the Write Inhibit tab to enable recording,
and then insert the disc again. If REC INHI on
HOME page of the function menu is set to “ON”, set
it to “OFF” (see page 41).
• This operation cannot be cancelled once it begins.
• When recording on the PDW-HD1500 does not end
successfully, you can use another XDCAM system
to perform a full salvage of the disc. As the other
system, use the PDW-700 or PDW-740.
2
Press the PUSH SET (S.SEL) knob.
Processing begins and the message “Executing.”
appears.
When processing finishes, a message appears to
display the results.
If the message reads “Incomplete!”, the clips that
failed were lost.
