# [RECORDING SETUP]

These are various types of setting items when performing camera recording and playback.

Set the system frequency, the number of lines, recording format, and recording method.

Item | Description of settings
--- | ---
[REC MEDIA] | Selects the slot for the media to be recorded. [microP2]: Uses microP2 memory cards (slots 1 and 2). [P2]: Uses P2 memory card (card slot 3). Factory setting: [microP2]
[FILE SPLIT] | Selects the split method of the recording file. [ONE FILE]: The clip is recorded in one file in the AVC-LongG format to a microP2 memory card (exceeding 32 GB). [SPLIT]: The clip is split every 4 GB regardless of the recording format. [SHORT SPLIT]: The clip is split every 128 seconds regardless of the recording format. Factory setting: [SPLIT] If the clip is recorded in one file, it cannot be copied to a P2 memory card or 32 GB microP2 memory card, or copied or exported to storage. When [ONE FILE] is selected, proxy recording is not possible. Also, when the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [DUAL CODEC SETTING] → [CODEC USAGE] is set to [PROXY REC(P2)] or [PROXY REC(P2&SD)], [ONE FILE] cannot be selected. It will be divided to recording files of approximately 128 seconds when [SHORT SPLIT] is selected, but they can be operated as a single clip when the thumbnail of the clips are operated on the P2 device. A single continuous recording time is approximately 3.5 hours. [SHORT SPLIT] is disabled in interval, one-shot, loop, and background recording modes.

[RECORDING SETTING] | [RECORDING HOLD] | Selects whether to hold [RECORDING] settings. [ON]: Holds the settings. [OFF]: Does not hold the settings. It will always be [NORMAL] the next time when the power is turned on. Factory setting: [OFF]
| [ONE SHOT TIME] | Sets the recording duration of one-shot recording. [1frm], [2frm], [4frm], [8frm], [16frm], [1s] Factory setting: [1frm]

| [START DELAY] | Selects whether to delay the recording start time by approximately one second when performing interval recording or one-short recording. [ON], [OFF] Factory setting: [OFF]
[PRE REC] | Selects whether to perform pre-recording. If [ON] is selected, pre-recording is performed for approximately three seconds in HD, and for approximately seven seconds in SD. [ON], [OFF] Factory setting: [OFF]

[SIMUL REC] | Selects whether to perform simultaneous recording. [ON], [OFF] Factory setting: [OFF]
[BACKGROUND REC] | Selects whether to perform background recording. [ON], [OFF] Factory setting: [OFF]
[DUAL CODEC SETTING] | [CODEC USAGE] | Selects media for recording proxy data. [PROXY REC(P2)]: Records proxy data to a P2 card. [PROXY REC(P2&SD)]: Records proxy data to both of a P2 card and SD memory card. [STREAMING]: Outputs streaming. [OFF]: Does not record proxy data. Factory setting: [OFF] If the [CODEC USAGE] setting cannot be changed, change the [PROXY REC MODE] or [STREAMING MODE] setting.
| [PROXY REC MODE] | Sets the recording mode of proxy data. [LOW 2CH MOV], [HQ 2CH MOV], [SHQ 2CH MOV], [AVC-G6 2CH MOV] Factory setting: [HQ 2CH MOV]
| [STREAMING MODE] | Sets the transfer mode for streaming. [LOW], [HQ], [AVC-G6], [SHQ (QoS)], [AVC-G (QoS)] Factory setting: [HQ]
| [PROXY DISP] | Selects whether to display proxy data recorded information or messages in the viewfinder and LCD monitor. [ON]: Displays proxy recording information and SD memory card remaining capacity at the start of recording. Warning information is displayed at all times. [OFF]: Displays proxy and SD memory card warning information for only three seconds when warning occurs. Factory setting: [OFF]
| [QoS MAX RATE] | Sets the maximum bitrate for video data when the QoS is operating. This setting is used when the streaming distribution is started from the operation of the camera. This can be set when [CAMERA] is selected in the main menu → [NETWORK SETUP] → [STREAMING SETTING] → [START TRIGGER]. [256Kbps], [512Kbps], [1Mbps], [1.5Mbps], [2.5Mbps], [3.5Mbps], [6Mbps], [9Mbps] Factory setting: [9Mbps] [9Mbps] cannot be selected when [STREAMING MODE] is set to [SHQ (QoS)].
| [QoS MIN RATE] | Sets the minimum bitrate for video data when the QoS is operating. This setting is used when the streaming distribution is started from the operation of the camera. This can be set when [CAMERA] is selected in the main menu → [NETWORK SETUP] → [STREAMING SETTING] → [START TRIGGER]. [256Kbps], [512Kbps], [1Mbps], [1.5Mbps], [2.5Mbps], [3.5Mbps], [6Mbps], [9Mbps] Factory setting: [256Kbps]
| [STREAMING LATENCY] | Sets the delay mode during the streaming distribution. This setting is used when the streaming distribution is started from the operation of the camera. This can be set when [CAMERA] is selected in the main menu → [NETWORK SETUP] → [STREAMING SETTING] → [START TRIGGER]. [NORMAL]: Sets if you want to emphasize the stability of streaming. [SHORT]: Sets if you want to emphasize the reduction of streaming delay. Factory setting: [NORMAL]

[DF MODE] | Sets the counting method of the built-in time code generator. [DF]: Uses the drop frame mode. [NDF]: Uses the non-drop frame mode. Factory setting: [DF]
[TCG] | Sets the operation mode to advance the built-in time code generator. [FREE RUN]: Advances regardless of the operation mode. [REC RUN]: Advances when recording is in process. Factory setting: [REC RUN] In native recording in variable frame rate mode, if the number of frames differs for shooting and recording, the time code operation will be [REC RUN].

[UB PRESET] | Sets user bits. Note that [USER] must be set for [UBG MODE].
[VITC UBG MODE] | Selects the VITC user bits mode. [USER/EXT]: When [UBG MODE] is [EXT], follows the value and when other than [EXT], records the user value set in [USER]. [TIME]: Selects the local time. (hh, mm, ss) [DATE]: Selects the local date and time. (YY, MM, DD, hh) [TCG]: The value of time code generator is recorded as user bits. [FRAME RATE]: Selects camera imaging information (such as frame rate). [REGEN]: Reads the value recorded to the card and continuously records that value. Factory setting: [USER/EXT]
[REC META DATA] | [LOAD] | Loads the metadata upload file saved to the SD memory card.
