Recording Clip (recording data) and clip name When you stop recording, video, audio and subsidiary data from the start to end of the recording are recorded as a single clip on an SxS memory card. For each clip recorded with this camcorder, a clip name of 8 characters (the first four alphanumerics and the second four numerics) is automatically generated. Example: ABCD0001 The first four alphanumerics can be specified as desired using "Clip" (page 133) of the OTHERS menu before you start recording. (It cannot be changed after recording.) The second four-digit number is automatically counted up in sequence. Notes on Clips The XDCAM EX-series products limit the maximum file size of an HD clip to 4GB and that of an SD clip to 2GB. If you continue recording for an extended period, recorded materials may be segmented into multiple files, depending on the file size (the maximum number of partitions is 99). The camcorder regards continuous recording as one clip even if it has been segmented into multiple files. A long clip can be recorded crossing over two memory cards in slot A and B. When you copy clips to a hard disk drive, etc. using a computer, it is recommended to use the XDCAM EX Clip Browsing Software on the supplied CD-ROM. Note If copying is done using Explorer (Windows) or Finder (MAC), the continuity and relationships of recorded materials may not be maintained. Maximum duration of a clip In HD Mode, a clip can be 24 hours long at maximum. If a clip exceeds 24 hours, it is automatically divided. L Selecting the Video Format You can select various video formats for recording/playback using "HD/SD Mode" and "Video Format" of the OTHERS menu. The current format is displayed on the screen when you press the DISPLAY/BATT INFO button. TBY STBY TCG 00:00:00:00 HQ 1920/60i S&Q Motion 29/24fps Selectable Formats The selectable formats vary depending on the "HD/SD Mode" setting and "Country" (NTSC Area/PAL Area) setting (page 132) of the OTHERS menu. HD Mode When the camcorder is set to HD Mode, the video formats set on this camcorder cover the recording bit rate (HQ/SP), recording picture size (horizontal resolution), recording frame rate, and recording scan system (i/P). The frame rates are indicated with two-digit integers, rounding off the fractional part. When you select an HQ format, recording is made with the bit rate of 35 Mbps VBR. When you select an SP format, recording is made with the HDV-compatible bit rate of 25 Mbps CBR.
