Chapter 4 Recording and Playback TC VITC 00:59:59:23 PDT 00:59:59:29 You can superimpose the 30-frame timecode after pulldown on an external monitor. To do so, set setup menu item 005 DISPLAY INFORMATION SELECT to "time data only". TCR 00:59:59:23 PDT 00:59:59:29 Disc playback start position Although this unit uses optical discs, it is designed to offer the most convenient features of tape playback by VTRs. One of these is the playback start position, which works in the same way as tape, 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. After disc insertion The unit stops at the position of the disc when it was most recently ejected. Press the PLAY button to resume playback at the most recent position. The playback position is saved to the disc when the disc is ejected, which allows playback to start at that position whenever it is loaded into any XDCAM player. Note This function is not available when the Write Inhibit tab of the disc is set to the recording disabled position, and when REC INH on HOME page of the function menu is set to "ON". The REC INHI indicator may light when neither of the above is true if the format of recorded sections on the disc is not the same as the recording settings of this unit. In this case, the playback position can be saved to the disc. 1080/720 cross convert function You can output 720 while playing discs recorded as 1080, and output 1080 while playing discs recorded as 720. When the system frequency of the loaded disc (59.94i/ 59.94P/29.97P, 50i/50P/25P, or 23.98P) matches the system frequency of the unit, but the system line settings (1080 or 720) do not match, then an "FC" mark appears and disc playback is cross converted automatically. E-E output is not cross converted. SD up convert function By installing the PDBK-S1500 option, you can output HD while playing discs recorded as SD. HD down convert function You can always output SD while playing discs recorded as HD. To specify the frame to use as the thumbnail image You can display a list of thumbnails of all clips on a disc, and use it to check the recorded content (see page 74). When the unit is shipped from the factory, it is set up to display the first frame of each clip as the thumbnail. As required, you can select another frame to display as the thumbnail. For example, if there are several seconds of color bars recorded at the start of the clip, selecting a frame several seconds after the end of the recording of color bars can make it easier to identify the clip. The GUI screen allows you to select thumbnail frames while viewing the video. For details, see "Changing clip index pictures" (page 79). You can also use setup menu item 143 INDEX PICTURE POSITION to specify a different default frame. You can specify the initial frame in any of the first few seconds after the initial frame. The setting range is 0 seconds to 10 seconds.
