Copy Operations

Limitations

• Data on an SxS memory card may be corrupted if you

remove it while the SxS memory card is being accessed

(while the corresponding access lamp is lit).

• Switching the write protect switch of an SxS memory

card to the "WP" side while data is being written to the

memory card will prevent the recording from ending

normally, resulting in corruption of the data being

recorded. If this occurs, the SxS memory card must be

inserted again and the data restored.

• Several minutes are required to restore an SxS memory

card containing data recorded by this board. If you use

this board to restore an SxS memory card containing data

recorded by a computer, restoration may take longer.

Depending on conditions, it may be faster to restore the

SxS memory card on a computer. If an alarm appears,

restoration on a computer is recommended.

• This board cannot be used to add or delete shot marks in

a clip created by a non-XDCAM device that already

contains more than 999 essence marks.

• Timecode continues to progress for a short time after

recording stops. But finally it returns to the timecode

value of the time when recording stopped, and stops

there.

• Essence marks are limited to one per second when you

convert and copy from the MP4 format to the MXF

format.

• Index picture settings may be displaced forward or

backward when you execute a copy.

• Playback signals from clips in the UserData directory are

output only to the display of the PDW-HR1. They are for

display only. They are not output to video output

connectors and cannot be used for transmission or

playout.

• A clip is not copied if a clip with the same UMID already

exists at the copy destination. For example, if you copy

Clip A from an SxS memory card to a Professional Disc,

and then edit Clip A on the SxS memory card (for

example, by adding essence marks), then you cannot

copy the edited clip to the Professional Disc. If you want

to copy the edited clip, first delete Clip A from the

Professional Disc.

• Playback of clips in the UserData directory is not

guaranteed under all conditions.

• Camera metadata is lost when a clip is copied from an

SxS memory card to a Professional Disc (the MXF clip

recording area managed by XDCAM devices).

• Essence marks are lost when a clip is format converted

and copied from an SxS memory card to a Professional

Disc (the MXF clip recording area managed by XDCAM

devices).

• Clip names are not inherited when a format conversion

and copy is performed over a specified range, and when

a clip list is converted to an MXF clip.

• Seamless playback and clip flag operations (addition,

modification, and deletion) are not supported for MXF

clips and for independent AV files (files without

metadata, consisting of video and audio data only) that

meet the following conditions.

- Clips containing 1000 or more essence marks

- Clips containing 10804 or more timecode breaks

- Clips with metadata files C*M01.XML (*: 0001 to

9999) more than 2 MB in size

Notes

• If you want to copy clips with user-specified names from

an SxS memory card to a Professional Disc, set item

M390: MIXED REC in the PDW-HR1 maintenance

menu to "ENABLE", and set sub-item NAMING FORM

of setup menu item 036 to "free".

• Press the RETURN button to erase messages that

continue to appear.

Backing up SxS memory card clips

by copying them to discs

You can make backup copies of SxS memory card clips as

data (without format conversion) by copying them to

Professional Discs. Use the following procedure.

Insert an SxS memory card containing recorded clips

into a memory card slot, and insert a writeable

Professional Disc with enough empty capacity into the

disc slot.

When two SxS memory cards are loaded

Press the SLOT button on the SxS page of the function

menu to select the card (A or B) that contains the clips

that you want to copy.

With the SHIFT button held down, press the EDIT/

HYBRID button.

The PDW-HR1 enters hybrid mode, and the

MEMORY button lights.

Set BACKUP on the SxS page of the function menu to

"ON".

The UserData directory on the disc is enabled as the

clip backup copy destination.

Press the THUMBNAIL/ESSENCE MARK button.

An SxS memory card clip thumbnail screen appears.
