Clip playback modes
You can set the clip playback mode to either of the
following.
Continuous playback mode: The playback target is all of
the clips on the disc (factory default setting).
Single clip playback mode: The playback target is the
currently selected clip only.
To select single clip playback mode
Set setup menu item 154 SINGLE CLIP PLAY MODE to
“on”.
Playback in single clip playback mode
The available playback types include normal playback,
high-speed playback in the forward or reverse directions,
and jog, shuttle, and variable playback. Playback stops
when it reaches the start or end of the clip. The next and
preceding clips are not played, even if they exist on the
disc.
When this unit is set to repeat playback mode, the selected
clip only is played repeatedly.
To move to another clip, press the PREV, NEXT, SHIFT
+ PREV, or SHIFT + NEXT button, or perform a
thumbnail search.
Playback start position of discs
Although this unit uses discs, it is designed to offer the
most convenient features of tape playback on VTRs. The
playback start position of content on discs varies, 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.
Saving the playback position
The disc remembers the current playback position when it
is ejected. Inserting the disc and pressing the PLAY button
will start playback from that position.
Playback will resume from that start position even when
the disc is inserted into another XDCAM device.
Notes
• This function is not available if a disc is inserted with its
Write Inhibit tab set to disable recording.
• The playback position is not saved on PFD128QLW
Professional Discs.
SD up-convert function
The content of discs recorded in SD can be output as HD.

1080/720 cross-convert function
You can output 720 while playing clips recorded as 1080,
and output 1080 while playing clips recorded as 720.
When the system frequency of clips (59.94i/59.94P/
29.97P, 23.98P, or 50i/50P/25P) matches the system
frequency of the unit, but the number of system line
settings (1080 or 720) do not match, then clip playback is
cross-converted automatically.
Pulldown playback
When this unit’s system frequency is set to 1080/59.94i,
1080/29.97P, or 720/59.94P, clips recorded as 1080/
23.98P are converted by 2-3 pulldown before playback
(pulldown playback).
Note
When the unit is in continuous playback mode and some
clips are selected for pulldown playback, continuous
playback of the selected clips is performed in the specified
format of pulldown playback (1080/23.98P).
Timecode in pulldown playback
During pulldown playback, timecode is also converted to
30-frame timecode to match the output video signals.
