Introduction
◆ NOTE:
•Detailed check of P2 card status is possible. Refer to “Checking
Card Status” on page 64.
A continuous recording that is longer than the durations given
below when an 8 GB P2 card is used in this unit will result in
the automatic division of the recording into different clips.
Even so, the recordings on the two clips can be handled as a
single clip in thumbnail operations (display, delete, repair,
copy, etc.) on a P2 device.
Such a recording may be handled as separate clips in
nonlinear editing software or on PCs.
* Available when the optional AVC-Intra Codec board AJ-
YBX200G is installed
When two or more P2 card slots contain cards, the unit
records continuously by switching cards. When available
space on the P2 cards has been used up, recording
continues from the first card overwriting previously recorded
loop recording.
To use this function, set LOOP REC in the setup menu to “ON”.
➝For details, refer to “Setup Menu No. 041 (LOOP REC)”
(page 123).
