Recording and Playback 4 Chapter Chapter 4 Recording and Playback Recording This section describes video and audio recording on the unit. See page 48 "Basic Operations of the Function Menu" in Chapter 3 for more information. See page 123 "Menus" in Chapter 7 for more information about setup menu operations. Mixed recording of clips in different formats on the same disc As long as the frame frequency group is the same, clips in different recording formats can be recorded or written to the same disc. 1) In this manual, this is referred to as "mixed format recording mode". 1) The recording format is regarded as different whenever the system frequency, video resolution, video codec/bit rate, or number of audio channels or number of bits does not match. Notes • Regardless of frame frequency group matching, it is not possible to mix clips with different video resolutions (number of system lines) in the same clip list. • When the unit is in a mode that calls for playback across clips that were recorded in different recording formats, video and audio playback may stop at the point where the format changes from one format into another, and then start again. • If a transition point between two clips with different recording formats exists in the preroll segment, that segment cannot be edited. Frame frequency groups The system frequencies supported by this unit are divided into frame frequency groups, as shown in the following table. Frame frequency group 59.94 Hz 50 Hz 23.98 Hz System frequency 59.94P 59.94i 29.97P 50P 50i 25P 23.98P You can record clips with different recording formats, for example HD422 and HD420SP clips, by putting this unit into mixed format recording mode. To enable mixed format recording mode Set maintenance menu item M390: MIXED REC to "ENABLE" (see page 149). If you want to disable mixing of clips with different recording formats, leave this item set to "DISABLE". However, regardless of the mixed format recording mode setting, it is always possible to mix clips in the following format groups. • HD420 HQ, SP, and LP • 1080/59.94i and 1080/29.97P • 1080/50i and 1080/25P Preparations for recording Make the following settings and adjustments before starting to record. Video input signal selection: Select with V INPUT on page P1 VIDEO of the function menu. Audio input signal selection: Select with A1 INPUT and A2 INPUT on page P2 AUDIO, from A3 INPUT to A8 INPUT on page P3 AUDIO of the function menu. 54 Recording

Recording

This section describes video and audio recording on the

unit.

See page 48 “Basic Operations of the Function Menu” in

Chapter 3 for more information.

See page 123 “Menus” in Chapter 7 for more information

about setup menu operations.

Mixed recording of clips in different

formats on the same disc

As long as the frame frequency group is the same, clips in

different recording formats can be recorded or written to

the same disc.

In this manual, this is referred to as “mixed format

recording mode”.

1) The recording format is regarded as different whenever the system

frequency, video resolution, video codec/bit rate, or number of audio

channels or number of bits does not match.

•

Regardless of frame frequency group matching, it is not

possible to mix clips with different video resolutions

(number of system lines) in the same clip list.

•

When the unit is in a mode that calls for playback across

clips that were recorded in different recording formats,

video and audio playback may stop at the point where

the format changes from one format into another, and

then start again.

•

If a transition point between two clips with different

recording formats exists in the preroll segment, that

segment cannot be edited.

Frame frequency groups

The system frequencies supported by this unit are divided

into frame frequency groups, as shown in the following

table.

You can record clips with different recording formats, for

example HD422 and HD420SP clips, by putting this unit

into mixed format recording mode.

To enable mixed format recording mode

Set maintenance menu item M390: MIXED REC to

“ENABLE”

(see page 149)

If you want to disable mixing of clips with different

recording formats, leave this item set to “DISABLE”.

However, regardless of the mixed format recording mode

setting, it is always possible to mix clips in the following

format groups.

•

HD420 HQ, SP, and LP

•

1080/59.94i and 1080/29.97P

•

1080/50i and 1080/25P

Preparations for recording

Make the following settings and adjustments before

starting to record.

Video input signal selection:

Select with V INPUT on

page P1 VIDEO of the function menu.

Audio input signal selection:

Select with A1 INPUT and

A2 INPUT on page P2 AUDIO, from A3 INPUT to

A8 INPUT on page P3 AUDIO of the function menu.
