# Setting the dual codec

## Setting menu

To record proxy data on the camera, set → [REC/PB] → [DUAL CODEC SETUP].

Item | Description of settings
--- | ---
[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 a P2 card and SD memory card. [STREAMING]: Outputs video stream. [OFF]: Does not record proxy data. Factory setting: [OFF] For the combination with the main recording, refer to “System modes and recording functions”. When the main menu → [REC/PB] → [REC/PB SETUP] → [FILE SPLIT] is set to [ONE FILE], only [OFF] can be selected.
[PROXY REC MODE] | Sets the recording mode of proxy data. For details on each mode, refer to “Recording modes and recording signals (video/audio)”. This item cannot be set when clips are being linked in one-clip recording. 1080 mode: [STD 2CH MP4], [LOW 2CH MOV], [HQ 2CH MOV], [HQ 4CH MOV], [SHQ 2CH MOV], [AVC-G6 2CH MOV] Factory setting: [STD 2CH MP4] 720 mode: [HQ 2CH MOV], [SHQ 2CH MOV], [AVC-G6 2CH MOV] Factory setting: [HQ 2CH MOV] SD mode: [STD 2CH MP4], [LOW 2CH MOV] Factory setting: [STD 2CH MP4]
[STREAMING MODE] | Sets the transfer mode for streaming. [LOW], [HQ], [AVC-G6], [SHQ (QoS)], [AVC-G (QoS)] Factory setting: [HQ]
[TC SUPER] | Sets whether to superimpose time code display on the proxy data recorded images. [UPPER]: Superimposes the time code display at the top of the recorded images. [LOWER]: Superimposes the time code display at the bottom of the recorded images. [OFF]: Does not superimpose time code display on recorded images. Factory setting: [OFF] This item cannot be set when clips are being linked in one-clip recording. The time code is not superimposed in the following cases. When the main menu → [SYSTEM] → [SYSTEM MODE] → [LINE&FREQ] is set to [720-60P] or [720-50P] When the recording mode of the proxy data is [AVC-G6 2CH MOV]
[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] This can also be set in the main menu → [VF] → [VF INDICATOR] → [PROXY DISP].
[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 the main menu → [I/F SETUP] → [USB/LAN] → [STREAMING SETTING] → [START TRIGGER] is set to [CAMERA]. [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 the main menu → [I/F SETUP] → [USB/LAN] → [STREAMING SETTING] → [START TRIGGER] is set to [CAMERA]. [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 the main menu → [I/F SETUP] → [USB/LAN] → [STREAMING SETTING] → [START TRIGGER] is set to [CAMERA]. [NORMAL]: Set if you want to emphasize the stability of streaming. [SHORT]: Set if you want to emphasize the reduction of streaming delay. Factory setting: [NORMAL]

- Proxy data cannot be recorded in the following modes.

  - Interval recording (including one-shot recording)

  - Loop recording

  - When [ONE FILE] is set in the main menu → [REC/PB] → [REC/PB SETUP] → [FILE SPLIT].

  - When [ON] is set in the main menu → [REC/PB] → [REC FUNCTION] → [SIMUL REC].

  - When [ON] is set in the main menu → [REC/PB] → [REC FUNCTION] → [ONE CLIP REC].

- When the main menu → [SYSTEM] → [SYSTEM MODE] → [LINE&FREQ] is set to [1080-59.94P], [1080-50P], [1080-23.98PsF], [480-59.94i], or [576-50i], the streaming function is disabled and the following items are not displayed.

  - [STREAMING MODE]

  - [QoS MAX RATE]

  - [QoS MIN RATE]

  - [STREAMING LATENCY]

## Checking the setting status

By pushing the <MODE CHECK/MENU CANCEL> switch on the camera towards the <MCK/MCL> side three times, you can check the menu values of the superimposition settings of the recording media, recording mode, and time code display of proxy data through mode check.
