Handling of discs when recording
does not end normally (salvage
functions)
Recording processing does not end normally if, for
example, the POWER switch on the rear panel is turned off
during recording, or if the power cord is disconnected
during recording. Because the file system is not updated,
video and audio data recorded in real time is not
recognized as files and clip contents recorded up to that
point are lost.
However, this unit has salvage functions which can hold
losses to the minimum by reconstructing clips on such
discs. There is a quick salvage function which executes
automatically and a full salvage function which you can
execute as required.
Quick salvage: Clips are reconstructed on the basis of
backup data stored in nonvolatile memory and
markers recorded on the disc. Processing time is about
5 seconds.
Quick salvage executes automatically if the unit is
powered on with a disc still loaded after recording
was interrupted by power off.
Full salvage: Clips are reconstructed on the basis of
markers recorded on the disc. Nonvolatile memory
cannot be used, so processing takes longer than for a
quick salvage (about 30 seconds, although it depends
on the state of the disc).
You are prompted to execute a full salvage whenever
you insert a disc that was removed manually from a
powered off device after interruption of recording by
power off.
Note that no recorded clip contents are lost when the on/
standby button on the front panel is set to standby during
recording, because the unit does not enter standby mode
until after the end of recording processing.
Notes
• Even after recording finishes, do not set the POWER
switch on the rear panel to off until the ACCESS
indicator has gone out.
• These functions salvage as much recorded material as
possible after an unforeseen accident, but 100%
restoration cannot be guaranteed.
• When recording on the PDW-F1600 or 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-F800 or PDW-700.
• The following alarm message (see page 159) may
appear when you insert a disc:
"DISC CANNOT BE RECORDED. FORMAT DISC
OR CONTACT SERVICE TO RUN CLIP SALVAGE
PROGRAM. (XXXX)"
This message means that recording on that disc did not
