Mixed Recording Of Clips In Different Formats On The Same Disc - Sony XDS-PD1000 Operation Manual

In the case of simultaneous recording, this unit enters
a stop mode after copy from the internal storage to the
Professional Disc.
To stop only the recording to the Professional Disc
during simultaneous recording
Press the COPY button and then press the RESET
button to abort the copy operation.
For the behavior of media in simultaneous recording,
see "Behavior of media in simultaneous recording"
(see page 49)).
Notes
• The shortest clip that can be recorded is 2 seconds long.
Even if the time from the operation to start recording to
the operation to stop recording is less than two seconds,
the recording continues for two seconds.
• The maximum recordable number of clips depends on
the media, as follows.
Media Maximum recordable number
HDD 3000
SSD 3000
PFD23A 300
PFD50DLA 300
PFD128QLW 1200
When the maximum recordable number is reached, no
further recording is possible. (The message "MAX #
Clips" appears in the status display area.)
• This unit can record video input signals that are not
synchronized to a reference signal. However, in that
case, video breakup and audio noise may occur in E-E
playback.
• During recording, do not turn off the main power switch
on the rear panel or disconnect the power cord. This
could cause the clip being recorded to be lost.
Note that no recorded clip contents are lost when the
on/standby button on the front panel is set to standby
during recording, because the unit does not enter standby
mode until after the end of recording processing.
Behavior of media in simultaneous recording
• If the Professional Disc is in an unrecorable state,
pressing the REC button and PLAY button
simultaneously in step 3 displays a message, and
recording to the internal storage only starts.
• If during recording the remaining space of the
Professional Disc becomes insufficient, then the
recording to the disc stops. (The clip is established and
the disc is ejected.) The recording to the internal storage
continues.
• If during recording you press the EJECT button to
remove the Professional Disc, the recording to the disc
stops. (The clip is established and the disc is ejected.)
The recording to the internal storage continues.
• When recording to the internal storage becomes
impossible, the recording to the Professional Disc also
stops.
To adjust the audio recording levels
When carrying out audio recording at a reference
level
Set the VARIABLE switch to "PRESET".
The audio signals will be recorded at a preset reference
level.
You can change the reference level and the input levels
with maintenance menu item M37: AUDIO CONFIG.
See page 96 for more information about how to make
maintenance menu settings.
Manually adjusting the audio recording levels
Set the VARIABLE switch to "REC" and use the CH-1/
ALL CH and CH-2 to CH-4 knobs to adjust CH-1 to CH-4,
and use A5 VOL to A8 VOL on page P3 AUDIO of the
function menu to adjust CH-5 to CH-8 so that the audio
level indications on the audio level meters do not exceed
0 dB for a maximum volume.
Mixed recording of clips in different
formats on the same disc
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.
Mixed recording of clips in different formats on
the internal storage
You can record clips to the internal storage at different
system frequencies and in different formats (HD422/
HD420).
Mixed recording of clips in different formats on
