Chapter 3 Preparation - P2 card Dividing clips recorded on P2 cards If P2 cards with a capacity of 8 GB or more are used on the camera, recording is automatically continued as another clip when a single continuous recording time exceeds the following times. When thumbnails for clips are handled (displayed, deleted, restored, etc.) on P2 devices, they can be handled as a single clip. Clips may be displayed as separate clips in nonlinear editing software and on a computer. When recording on microP2 memory cards that exceed 32 GB in AVC‑LongG codec, recording can be continued as the same clip by selecting [ONE FILE] from the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [FILE SPLIT]. It will also be divided to recording files of approximately 128 seconds each when [SHORT SPLIT] is selected in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [FILE SPLIT]. However, they can be operated as a single clip when the thumbnail of the clips are operated on the P2 device. When using the rec during upload function, you can speed up timing when the partition unit of the recording file becomes small and clip transfer is started by selecting [SHORT SPLIT]. [SHORT SPLIT] is disabled in interval, one-shot, loop, and background recording modes. Recording format (excluding native recording) AVC‑Intra 200 (720P) AVC‑Intra 100 (1080P) AVC‑Intra 100 (1080i) DVCPRO HD AVC‑LongG 50 AVC‑Intra 50 DVCPRO50 AVC‑LongG 25 DVCPRO DV AVC‑LongG 12 Continuous recording time Approx. 3 min Approx. 5 min Approx. 10 min Approx. 20 min Approx. 40 min CPS (Content Protection System) The microP2 memory card supports the security function "Content Protection System" that allows encryption formatting to prevent data leak to third parties. To use the CPS function, set a CPS password to the camera, and enable the microP2 memory card authentication and encryption formatting functions. An encrypted microP2 memory card will be automatically recognized between devices where the same CPS password is set, and recording and playback of the microP2 memory card are enabled. For details, refer to "Setting CPS password" (page 122). @@NOTE tt Setting or deleting of CPS can be performed in the main menu → [CLIP] → [PROPERTY] → [CPS PASSWORD]. tt Up to 16 characters can be input. tt The encrypted microP2 memory card is not recognized on the SD card slot in a computer. tt If the card is unable to be recognized, authenticate with the correct password or format and use the card as recording media. Recording data on the card failed to be recognized cannot be checked. Do not perform any operation other than manual authentication and formatting with the failed card inserted. tt To access the encrypted card from a computer in the USB device mode, authenticate the encrypted card with P2 Viewer Plus. How to handle data recorded on P2 cards P2 cards are semiconductor memory cards that are used as the recording medium in the professional video production and broadcasting devices that make up the DVCPRO P2 series. ffSince data recorded in the P2 format is in a file format, they have excellent compatibility with computers. The file structure is a unique format, which in addition to video and audio data in MXF files contains various other important information items. The folder structure links data recorded in the P2 format as shown below. Drive:\ CONTENTS AVCLIP AUDIO CLIP ICON PROXY VIDEO VOICE LASTCLIP.TXT* All these folders are required. If even part of this information is modified or deleted, the data may no longer be recognized as P2 data, or the card may no longer be able to be used with P2 devices. This is the file to which the information of the final clip that was recorded with the P2 device is written. @@NOTE tt P2 cards formatted on devices other than microP2 memory card compatible devices do not have the AVCLIP folder. For P2 cards without the AVCLIP folder, the folder will automatically be created when recording is performed on microP2 memory card compatible devices. - 37 -
