Operating Instructions AJ-PX5100G
You can record a single recording (from start to stop of recording) not as one clip but as a clip integrating several recordings.
To use this function, set [ON] in the main menu → [REC/PB] → [REC FUNCTION] → [ONE CLIP REC]. When one-clip recording mode is selected, [1-CLIP] is displayed on the right side in the viewfinder screen.
When the <REC> button of the camera is pressed, the first recording starts and [START 1"CLIP] is displayed.
Thereafter, each time recording takes place the clips are automatically linked, integrating a maximum of 99 recordings as one recording.
When you want to split the clip as a new clip, finish linking clips using one of the following operations.
Press and hold the <STOP> button for at least two seconds while recording is stopped.
Press and hold the <REC> button for at least two seconds during recording, to end recording. (When operating while recording.)
These operations end linking of clips. [END 1-CLIP] is displayed in the viewfinder screen, and a new clip starts from the subsequent recording.
Set [OFF] in the main menu → [REC/PB] → [REC FUNCTION] → [ONE CLIP REC].
Each time recording starts, a text memo is automatically added to the recording start position so that you can cue up when playing back. You can also check the thumbnail of its position.
To add a text memo automatically to a recording start position, set [ON] in the main menu → [REC/PB] → [REC/PB SETUP] → [START TEXT MEMO].
To view or play back the point of the added text memo, select [TEXT MEMO CLIPS] in the main menu → [CLIP] → [REPOSITION] and place the cursor on the target clip.
For details, refer to “Playing back from the text memo position”.
Also, to cue up the text memo position when playing back, set [CLIP&TEXT MEMO] in the main menu → [REC/PB] → [REC/PB SETUP] → [SEEK POS SEL]. Press the <FF/
> button or the <
/REW> button while playback is paused.
You can carry out proxy recording in one-clip recording mode.
The proxy data also can be combined as the same type of linked clip so that you can handle it as a single clip with the P2 Viewer Plus, etc.
However, when recording proxy data on an SD memory card, be careful of the following points.
When you remove the SD memory card and replace it while continuously making clip links, proxy recording will not take place on the SD memory card until the subsequent clips are linked. Use after making sure that there is sufficient available space and number of files (maximum of 1000 clips can be recorded).
When continuing proxy recording after replacing the SD memory card part-way through, carry out the following operation. Press the <STOP> button for approximately two seconds to finish linking, and start recording as a new clip.
The proxy data on the SD memory card that was discontinued during recording is not recognized as proxy data for the clip recorded on the P2 card and will remain incomplete.
When interval recording, one-shot recording, or loop recording is selected, it does not operate. Also, it does not operate when [SDI] is set in the main menu → [SYSTEM] → [SYSTEM MODE] → [REC SIGNAL].
While continuing clip linking, menu operations are subject to the following restrictions. Perform these operations after pressing and holding the <STOP> button for approx. two seconds to end clip linking.
Some items of [REC FUNCTION] in the main menu → [REC/PB] cannot be changed.
Some items of [SYSTEM MODE] in the main menu → [SYSTEM] cannot be changed.
Some items of [FILE] in the main menu cannot be operated.
The main menu → [CLIP] → [COPY] does not operate.
[ON] cannot be set in the main menu → [I/F SETUP] → [USB/LAN] → [USB MODE].
In order to make it possible to link clips in the next recording, the processing time required to end recording may take slightly longer than standard recording.
When playing back, fade processing for discontinuous audio is not performed at linking points within a clip.
When editing a clip with a large number of links using nonlinear editing software, etc., the software may not operate properly depending on the type of software.
Refer to the support desk at the following website for the latest information on software whose operability has been confirmed.
