Chapter 4 Recording, Playback and Copy
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).
This unit begins recording operation about one second
after the camcorder.
Handling of SxS memory cards
when recording does not end
normally (salvage functions)
Recording processing does not end normally if one of the
following is performed during recording.
• The POWER switch on the rear panel is turned off.
• The power cord is disconnected.
• The SxS memory card is ejected.
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 SxS
memory cards.
• Even after recording finishes, do not set the POWER
switch on the rear panel to off until the MEMORY
ACCESS lamp has lit green.
• These functions salvage as much recorded material as
possible after an unforeseen accident, but 100%
restoration cannot be guaranteed.
• Even when these functions are used, it is not possible to
recover data from immediately before the interruption of
recording. The amount of data that will be lost depends
on the video format (maximum 20 seconds of data before
the interruption of recording).
• When you insert an SxS memory card that has not been
salvaged, or power the unit on with such SxS memory
card loaded, the following warning message appears in
the Status display area of the display screen.
Memory(A) needs Restoring (when slot A is selected)
• No recording is possible on SxS memory cards
containing clips that have not been salvaged, although it
is possible to play back the normally recorded sections.
Recording becomes possible if you perform a format,
but this erases all of the original recorded content.
To restore clips with a full salvage
1 Insert the SxS memory card on which recording did
not end normally.
2 Select Update/Restoring Media in the Clip Menu, and
press the PUSH SET knob.
• When “REC INHI” is displayed eject the SxS
memory card, set the write protect switch to enable
recording, and then insert the SxS memory card
again.
• This operation cannot be cancelled once it begins.
3 When a confirmation dialog prompting whether or not
to execute the salvage appears, select “OK” and press
the PUSH SET knob.
Processing begins and the message “Executing.”
appears.
When processing finishes, a message appears to
display the results.
If the message reads “Incomplete!”, the clips that
failed were lost.
