Mixed recording of clips in
different formats on the same disc
As long as the system frequency is the same, clips
in different recording formats can be recorded or
written to the same disc.
In this manual, this is referred to as "mixed format
recording mode".
1) The recording format is regarded as different
whenever the system frequency, video resolution,
video codec/bit rate, or number of audio channels or
number of bits does not match.
Notes
• Regardless of system frequency matching, it is
not possible to mix clips with different video
resolutions (number of system lines) in the
same clip list.
• When the unit is in a mode that calls for
playback across clips that were recorded in
different recording formats, video and audio
playback may stop at the point where the format
changes from one format into another, and then
start again.
You can record clips with different recording
formats, for example HD422 and HD420SP clips,
by putting this unit into mixed format recording
mode.
