Insert with the label side facing upward Chapter 3 Preparations The lamp lights in orange then changes to green once the memory card is ready for use. Status indications by the MEMORY ACCESS A/B lamps Card slots A and B are accompanied by the respective lamps to indicate their statuses.
Handling an External Storage You can connect a USB mass storage class device (a hard disk drive for example) to the Super Speed USB ( ) connector (USB 3.0 compatible) on the front panel and use it as an external storage for storing clips and other materials (capacity: 3 GB to 2 TB). Note It is possible to create up to 99 folders on the external storage. Each folder can contain up to 600 clips (not exceeding the total material length of 24 hours) and up to 99 EDLs.
To create a new folder Press F3: CREATE FOLDER. To copy clips to the external storage You can use F4: CREATE USB FLDR in the Clip F Menu (see page 56) to create a copy destination folder before executing a copy operation. Chapter 3 Preparations The newly created folder is automatically mounted. To delete a folder in the USB drive 1 2 With the folders in the USB drive displayed in a list view, select the folder you want to delete. Press F6: DELETE FOLDER.
Recording, Playback and Copy Recording Chapter 4 SD up-convert function You can input SD signals to the SD/HDSDI INPUT connector and record them as HD signals. Carrying out recording See page 34 “Basic Operations of the Function Menu” in Chapter 3 for more information. One recording segment (from the start to the end of recording) is called a “clip”. See page 72 “Menus” in Chapter 7 for more information about setup menu operations.
• The shortest clip that can be recorded is 2 seconds long. Even if recording start and stop operations are performed within 2 seconds, a 2-second clip is recorded. • The maximum number of clips that can be recorded is 600. If the loaded SxS memory card already contains 600 clips, recording operation is not possible. (The message “MAX # Clips” appears in the time data display area.) • This unit can record video input signals that are not synchronized to a reference signal.
After an SxS memory card is exchanged, the unit resumes operation according to the REC or STOP command embedded in the HDSDI signal. If an SxS memory card is removed when a clip is being recorded on it, the quality of that clip is not guaranteed. For details, see “Handling of SxS memory cards when recording does not end normally (salvage functions)” (page 43). To restore clips with a full salvage 1 Insert the SxS memory card on which recording did not end normally.
Playback This section describes playback of video and audio on the unit. Before starting playback, make the following settings and adjustments. Selection of time data to display: Select with CNTR SEL on the HOME page of the function menu. Selection of audio channels to monitor: Select with MONITR L and MONITR R on the HOME page of the function menu. Volume adjustment of the monitor audio: Adjust with the LEVEL knob. Remote/local setting: Set the remote control switch.
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 or 720/ 23.98P). Timecode in pulldown playback During pulldown playback, timecode is also converted to 30-frame timecode to match the output video signals. The upper row of the time data display area displays the original 24-frame timecode, and the lower row displays the 30-frame timecode.

EDL Editing Clips on media Clip 1 (C0001) Clip 2 (C0002) Clip 3 (C0003) Clip 4 (C0004) What is EDL editing? EDL (E0001) EDL editing is a function which allows you to select material (clips) from the material recorded on media and perform cut editing. You can do this by operating on this unit only. • EDL editing is a convenient way to perform cut editing in the field and in other offline situations. • In EDL editing you create an EDL (editing list).
1 Create EDLs: Use the CREATE NEW EDL command to create an EDL containing the selected clips. 2 Add sub clips: Use the ADD TO CURT.EDL command to add the clips you want to use to an EDL. You can add up to 300 sub clips to one EDL. 3 Delete sub clips: Use the REMOVE command to delete specified sub clips from an EDL. 4 Play the EDL: Use the PLAY button and other playback controls to play the current EDL and check its contents.
2 Display the P1 EDL page of the Clip F menu and press the SET CURT.EDL button (F1). The selected EDL becomes the current EDL.

SONY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, COMPENSATION OR REIMBURSEMENT ON ACCOUNT OF FAILURE OF THIS UNIT OR ITS RECORDING MEDIA, EXTERNAL STORAGE SYSTEMS OR ANY OTHER MEDIA OR STORAGE SYSTEMS TO RECORD CONTENT OF ANY TYPE. • Always verify that the unit is operating properly before use.
Using UMID Data Metadata is additional information recorded on SxS memory cards along with audio-visual data. It is used to bring greater efficiency to the flow of operations from material acquisition through editing, and to make it easier to find and reuse material. As one of application of metadata, the UMID has been internationally standardized. What is a UMID? A UMID (Unique Material Identifier) is a unique identifier for audio-visual material defined by the SMPTE-330M-2004 standard.
• Recording with UTC time. UTC (coordinated universal time) is used when recording the UMID. Use of a universal time system enables uniform management of source material recorded all over the world. • Calculation of date differences. Source material is recorded using modified Julian dates (MJD), which enables easy calculation of date differences between different source material items. Setting UMID ownership information Proceed as follows. 1 Set setup menu item 029 STORE OWNERSHIP to “on” (see page 75).
Ancillary Data This unit can play and record ancillary data multiplexed into HDSDI signals. It can also input and output ancillary data in MXF files when transferring files via FTP/CIFS connections. Transferable auxiliary data includes text data (captions and metadata) and control signals.
Closed caption data This section explains the closed caption data that can be recorded, played back, and output during EE output. Normal EIA-708/608 recording and playback In response to closed caption input data that complies with the EIA-708/608 standards, record, play, and output that data with no changes. However, settings are required for recording of closed caption data in HDSDI signals.
