1-1 Features

Chapter1

Overview

1-1Features

The PDW-R1 is a convenient, compact, and lightweight

optical disc recorder. It allows you to record to optical

discs, play back optical discs, and record audio and video

data files transferred over the S400 (i.LINK 1)) connector

and (network) connector. It is ideal for field

applications and for desktop viewing by journalists,

producers, and other production staff.

1) i.LINK is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

The features of the PDW-R1 include the following.

MPEG IMX/DVCAM recording

The PDW-R1 offers the capability to record and play back

both MPEG IMX 1) and DVCAM 1) streams. Users have

the flexibility to select from these formats according to

their picture-quality needs, or to match their editing-

format requirements.

1) MPEG IMX and DVCAM are trademarks of Sony Corporation.

Proxy AV data

Proxy AV data is a low-resolution, MPEG-4 based version

of a full-resolution MPEG IMX/DVCAM stream (a video

bandwidth of 1.5 Mbps and an audio bandwidth of 64 kbps

per channel). Whenever a recording is made, the unit

automatically generates proxy AV data from the full-

resolution data and records it on the Professional Disc.

Proxy AV data is much smaller in size than the full-

resolution IMX or DVCAM data. It can be transferred

quickly over computer networks, easily edited in the field

with laptop computers, and readily used in a wide variety

of applications, such as content management on small-

scale servers.

Thumbnail search operation

Simply press the THUMBNAIL button and the PDW-R1

instantly displays thumbnails on the video panel or a

connected monitor. You can easily cue up the desired

scene by guiding the cursor to the corresponding

thumbnail and confirming your selection with the SET

button.

Scene selection

You can create and play back clip lists of selected clips

from the disc, arranged in any order.

One disc can store up to 99 clip lists.

Clip lists make it simple to perform offline editing in the

field for later use with full-scale nonlinear editing systems

(XPRI 1), etc.).

1) XPRI is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

Quick picture search by jog and shuttle

dials

The PDW-R1 has jog and shuttle dials as a conventional

VTR to search picture in a clip. The jog dial is for frame-

by-frame search at –1 to +1 times normal speed and the

shuttle dial is for high-speed search at ±20 times normal

speed.

IT-friendly system

In the PDW-R1, clips are recorded as video and audio data

files 1). This file-based recording system also allows

material to be viewed directly on a computer linked to the

unit via an i.LINK (file access mode, called FAM below)

connection—in the same way that a computer reads data

files on an external drive. The interfaces include the

S400 (i.LINK) connector, supporting AV/C (Audio/

Video Control) and i.LINK (FAM) protocols, and

(network) connector. The (network) connector

supports MXF (Material eXchange Format) file transfer

capability to exchange contents with other equipment

supporting MXF.

Chapter 1 Overview

10 1-1 Features

1) A clip is created every time recording is stopped.

•Video and audio data are always recorded in empty sections of the disc.

Recording begins instantly, even after playback, without overwriting

existing video on the disc.

•Recording is done in clip units, which makes it simple to delete a clip

immediately after shooting if it is judged to be unneeded.

•During playback, thumbnail lists make it easy to identify clips. The

random access nature of the media allows the NEXT and PREV buttons

to jump instantly to clip start frames, making it easy to check the video

and audio in the clips.

•i.LINK (FAM) or network connections make it possible to transfer clip

files at high speed between this unit and remote computers.

Flexible metadata recording

XDCAM 1) can record various types of metadata together

with video and audio data, such as the date and time of

shooting, the cameraman, the recording method, and

comments about the material. This metadata can be used in

applications such as the following.

• The supplied PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software can be

used to add titles, comments, and other text data to discs

and clips.

• Computer-readable text files can be recorded on the

Professional Disc, to allow systematic content

management.

• The ability to search metadata for the required audio and

video scenes brings greater efficiency to various stages

of the video production process (editing, archiving, etc.).

1) XDCAM is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

Supports a variety of interfaces

The PDW-R1 supports a variety of interfaces and is

suitable for use with various nonlinear editing systems.

Analog interfaces

Video: The unit can input and output a composite analog

video signal.

Audio: The unit has two audio channels. When in 4-

channel mode, you can input two channels of audio

either as channels 1 and 2 or as channels 3 and 4. The

two audio channels can be output also either as

channels 1 and 2 or as channels 3 and 4.

Digital interfaces

SDI (Serial Digital Interface)/AES/EBU: This allows

the unit to input and output D1 (component) format

digital video and audio signals and also AES/EBU-

format digital audio signals.

Equipped with i.LINK connector

The i.LINK connector of this unit supports the following

two functions.

Input and output of DV streams (AV/C mode)

• DV streams can be output from this unit and recorded on

standard DV equipment.

• During MPEG IMX playback, the playback signals can

be converted and output as DV streams, allowing you to

connect DV-compatible nonlinear editors.

• The output from external DV devices (VTRs, nonlinear

editors, etc.) can be input to this unit and recorded on

Professional Discs.

Computer access to files (file access mode)

Use of application software which supports the XDCAM

series 1) enables random access to video, audio, and

metadata files on Professional Discs, with the ability to

display file lists and perform file-based reads and

overwrites.

Files can be transferred at high speed, and thumbnail lists

of disc contents can be viewed on computer screens.

1) Such software includes the supplied PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software and

the XPRI series.

Equipped with network connector

This network connector of unit can be connected to

computers and networks to enable high-speed file transfers

and display of lists of the video, audio, and metadata files

stored on Professional Discs. Workflows can be improved

by the ability to use FTP commands to transfer files to

remote locations.

Color LCD built-in

With the built-in 3.5-inch type color LCD screen, you can

display contents on the disc without an external monitor.

Compact size, lightweight and battery-

powered operation

The PDW-R1 is designed small and light enough to carry

out to the field and it is operable with battery to work

speedily in the field.

Supporting SNMP for service and

maintenance

The PDW-R1 is compatible with Sony remote

maintenance and monitoring software—an SNMP-

compliant application that can monitor and log the

hardware’s status in real time via a TCP/IP network. If a

malfunction is detected, this system can immediately

identify the problem, allowing you to take corrective

action.

R1, connect a network cable to this connector and the

external device.

Caution

For safety, do not connect the connector for peripheral

device wiring that might have excessive voltage to this

port. Follow the instructions in this manual when making

connections.

ATTENTION

Par mesure de sécurité, ne raccordez pas le connecteur

pour le câblage de périphériques pouvant avoir une tension

excessive à ce port. Suivez les instructions pour ce port.

ACHTUNG

Aus Sicherheitsgründen nicht mit einem Peripheriegerät-

Anschluss verbinden, der zu starke Spannung für diese

Buchse haben könnte. Folgen Sie den Anweisungen für

diese Buchse.

fS400 (i.LINK) connector (6-pin, IEEE1394

compliant)

Connect a DV device, computer, or similar, using an

i.LINK cable. To prevent the connector from coming

loose, we recommend that you secure the cable in the cable

clamp as shown in the following figure.

When the unit is shipped from the factory, the audio output

signal is set to 16 bit/48 kHz/2ch mode. You can change

the audio mode and output channel settings with extended

menu item 831 “DV OUT AUDIO MODE” and extended

menu item 828 “SDI/DV AUDIO OUTPUT SELECT.”

See 7-3-2 “Extended Menu Operations” (page 108) for

more information about how to make these settings.

Notes

• If video or audio signals from an external device

connected with the S400 (i.LINK) connector are not

output, disconnect the i.LINK cable and connect it again,

pushing it straight in.

• When the PDW-R1 is connected to a device with a 6-pin

i.LINK connector by an i.LINK cable, before

unplugging the i.LINK cable, first power off the device

and disconnect the power plug from the outlet. If the

i.LINK cable is unplugged with the device power plug

still connected, a current from an excessive voltage (8 to

40 V) output from the i.LINK connector of the device

flows into the PDW-R1. This may cause a failure of the

PDW-R1.

• When connecting the PDW-R1 to a device with a 6-pin

i.LINK connector, connect to the 6-pin i.LINK

connector of the other device first.

• Except in playback mode (jog and shuttle modes, etc.), if

you are monitoring the audio signal output from this

connector on another device, the audio signal may sound

differently from the audio signal played back on the

PDW-R1.

3-5 Superimposed Text Information

a) Read errors will occur if the playback condition continues to deteriorate.

If a read error occurs, a “Disc Error!” alarm appears in the time data

display, the picture freezes, and audio is muted.

To display playback condition marks, set basic menu item

012 “CONDITION DISPLAY ON VIDEO MONITOR”

to “ena,” and set basic menu item 005 “DISPLAY

INFORMATION SELECT” to “T&sta.”

For details about operation, see 7-2-2 “Basic Menu

Operations” (page 94).

Playback condition displays

You can be alerted in advance to deteriorating playback

conditions and to error correction rates which are

approaching their limits.

Deteriorating playback may be due to the following

causes.

• Scratches and dust on the disc surface

This includes fingerprints, dust from the air, tar from

cigarette smoke, and so on.

Scratches and soiling which occur before recording are

not a problem because they are registered in advance as

defects, and recording avoids them. However, scratches

and soiling which occur after recording can lead to

deteriorating playback conditions.

• Aging of disc recording layers

Over several decades, the recording layers of optical

discs can age and cause deteriorating playback

conditions.

You can use this function to check archival discs and

other discs which have been stored for extended periods,

so that you can take action before the deterioration

progresses further.

• Deteriorating laser diodes performance

The performance of the laser diodes used in optical

heads can worsen with age, leading to deteriorating

playback conditions.

You can use the digital clock to check the total optical

output time of optical heads.

For details, see 8-1-1 “Digital Hours Meter” (page 120)

about this setting.

Refer to the Maintenance Manual for an approximate

guide to when it is time to replace optical heads.

To prevent playback conditions from

deteriorating

Pay attention to the following points when handling discs.

• Do not open disc cartridges and touch discs directly with

your hands.

• Do not store for long periods in locations which are

dusty or exposed to air circulated by fans.

• Do not store for long periods under high temperatures or

in locations exposed to direct sunlight.

If playback conditions have deteriorated

If a yellow or red playback condition mark appears, check

the following points.

Whether the disc displays the same playback condition

on other XDCAM devices: If so, the surface of the

disc may be dirty or scratched, or the performance of

the recording layers on the disc may have worsened

due to age. Do not use discs with these symptoms.

Whether every disc inserted into an XDCAM device

displays the same playback conditions: If so, the

performance of the laser diodes may have deteriorated.

Check the total optical output time.

Display Name Description

Green condition There is no problem with the

playback condition. This unit

and the disc can be used just

as they are. This

corresponds to the “green”

channel condition indicator of

a VTR.

3-6-2 Notes on Handling

Handling

The Professional Disc is housed in a cartridge, and is

designed to allow handling free of risk from dust or

fingerprints. However, if the cartridge is subjected to a

severe shock, for example by dropping it, this can result in

damage or scratching of the disc. If the disc is scratched, it

may be impossible to record video/audio, or to play back

the content recorded on the disc. The discs should be

handled and stored carefully.

• Do not touch the surface of the disc itself within the

cartridge.

• Deliberately opening the shutter may cause damage.

• Do not disassemble the cartridge.

• The supplied adhesive labels are recommended for

indexing discs. Apply the label in the correct position.

Storage

• Do not store discs where they may be subjected to direct

sunlight, or in other places where the temperature or

humidity is high.

• Do not leave cartridges where dust may be able to gain

ingress.

• Store cartridges in their cases.

Care of the discs

• Remove dust and dirt on the outside of a cartridge using

a soft dry cloth.

• If condensation forms, allow ample time to dry before

use.

3-6-3 Write-Protecting Discs

To protect the content recorded on the disc from accidental

erasure, move the Write Inhibit tab on the lower surface of

The disc is ejected.

After removing the disc, you do not need to return the

screw to its original position. Normal operation will

resume when the unit is powered on again.

Close the rubber cover firmly.

3-6-7 Handling of Discs When

Recording Does Not End

Normally (Salvage Function)

Recording processing does not end normally when the

primary power 1) of this unit is lost during recording.

Because the file system is not updated, video and audio

data recorded in real time is not recognized as files and clip

contents recorded up to that point are lost.

However, this unit has a salvage function which can hold

losses to the minimum by reconstructing clips on such

discs.

Note that no recorded clip contents are lost when the on/

standby switch on the control panel is set to standby,

because the unit does not enter standby mode until after the

end of recording processing.

1) Primary power is lost when the AC power switch on the rear panel is

turned off, the AC power cord is disconnected, DC power is turned off, the

battery pack is exhausted, the battery pack is removed, and so on.

Notes

• Do not turn this unit’s primary power off until recording

processing has finished and the ACCESS indicator has

gone out.

• This function salvages as much recorded material as

possible after an unforeseen accident, but 100%

restoration cannot be guaranteed.

• Even when this function is used, it is not possible to

recover data from immediately before the interruption of

recording. The amount of data lost is as follows.

- Quick salvage: From 2 to 4 seconds of data before the

interruption of recording.

- Full salvage: From 4 to 6 seconds of data before the

interruption of recording.

Quick salvage

When the unit is powered on again after a recording

interruption due to power off, with the disc still loaded in

the unit, clips are reconstructed on the basis of backup data

stored in nonvolatile memory and markers recorded on the

disc.

Processing time is about 5 seconds.

Full salvage

When a disc that was manually ejected from a device

subjected to a recording interruption due to power off is

loaded into this unit, clips are reconstructed on the basis of

markers recorded on the disc. Nonvolatile memory cannot

be used, so processing takes longer than for a quick

salvage (about 30 seconds, although it depends on the state

of the disc).

Proceed as follows to perform a full salvage.

Insert the disc on which recording did not end

normally.

The message “Salvage ?” appears.

Do one of the following.

To salvage

Press the SET button.

Processing begins and the message “Executing.”

appears.

Notes

• If the REC INHI indicator (see page 18) is lit, the

message “EJECT?” appears. Eject the disc, set the

Write Inhibit tab to the recording enable position,

and insert the disc again.

• This operation cannot be cancelled once it begins.

The message “Complete” appears when processing

finishes. If the message reads “Incomplete!,” the clips

that failed were lost.

Chapter 3 Preparations

3-6 Handling Discs

To exit without salvaging

Press the RESET button.

The state of section where recording was interrupted is

saved, but no salvage processing is done.

Sections which were recorded normally can be played

back, but no new recording can be done on the disc. (A

quick format can be done on the disc, although all of

its contents will be lost.)

Note

Unless clips are salvaged, the message “Salvage ?”

appears again the next time the disc is inserted or the

unit is powered on.

recording format (16bit × 8ch/24bit × 4ch) before writing

files.

The file formats which can be written to the disc depend on

whether clips are already recorded on the disc.

When you insert a disc with no recorded clips: Files in

all of the above formats can be written.

When you insert a disc with recorded clips: Files in the

same video and audio formats as the clips on the disc

can be written.

Making thumbnail image settings

As required, you can select which frame to display as a

clip’s thumbnail image. (When the unit is shipped from the

factory, it is set up to display the first frame as the

thumbnail.)

For example, if all clips have the same image in their first

frames, you can specify a frame a few seconds after the

start of the clip, so that thumbnails will not all show the

same image.

To specify the frame to use as the thumbnail

image

Set extended menu item 143 “INDEX PICTURE

POSITION” to a number in the range from 0 to 10, in units

of 1 second.

See 7-3-2 “Extended Menu Operations” (page 108) for

more information about how to make extended menu

settings.

To adjust the audio recording levels

When carrying out audio recording at a reference

level

Set the VARIABLE switch (see page 15) to PRESET. The

audio signals will be recorded at a preset reference level.

Use the maintenance menu item “AUDIO CONFIG” to set

the audio input level and reference level.

For details of the maintenance menu operations, see 7-4-2

“Maintenance Menu Operations” on page 114.

Manually adjusting the audio recording

levels

Set the VARIABLE switch (see page 15) to REC and

adjust the ALL/CH-1 and CH-2 to CH-4 adjustment knobs

so that the audio level indications on the audio level meters

(see page 18) do not exceed 0 dB for a maximum volume.

Carry out the adjustment in E-E mode.

To select the E-E mode, see extended menu item 108

“AUTO EE SELECT.”

To adjust the audio recording levels for channels 1 to 8

simultaneously, set extended menu item 131 “AUDIO

VOLUME” to “all” and turn the ALL/CH-1 adjustment

knob.

4-1-2 Recording Time Code and User Bit Values

There are the following four ways of recording time code:

• Internal Preset mode, which records the output of the

internal time code generator, set beforehand to an initial

value. The following run modes can be selected.

- Free Run: Time code advances continually.

- Rec Run: Time code advances only during recording.

• Internal Regen mode, which records the output of the

internal time code generator, initialized to time code

following continuously upon the time code of the last

frame of the last clip on the disc.

• External Regen mode, which records the output of the

internal time code generator, synchronized to an external

time code generator. As the external input, the time code

input to any of the following connectors can be selected.

- TIME CODE IN connector: LTC

- VIDEO IN connector: VITC

- S400 (i.LINK) connector: TC or VITC

- SDI IN connector: SMPTE RP188 LTC

• External Preset mode, which directly records the input of

an external time code generator. As the external input,

the time code input to any of the following connectors

can be selected.

- TIME CODE IN connector: TC

- S400 (i.LINK) connector: TC

- SDI IN connector: SMPTE RP188 LTC

As shown in the following table, you can switch between

different time code recording modes by combining switch

settings in the time data settings section with the selection

of a video input signal and settings of extended menu item

629.

To record time code after setting an initial

value

Set the following switches beforehand.

• INT/EXT/RP188 switch: INT

• PRESET/REGEN switch: PRESET

• F-RUN/R-RUN switch: F-RUN or R-RUN

See 7-3-2 “Extended Menu Operations” (page 108) for

more information about how to make extended menu

settings.

Then set an initial value as described below, and carry out

recording (see page 48).

46 4-1 Recording

To record time code that follows

sequentially upon the last recorded time

code

You can record time code so that it is continuous from one

clip to the next on the disc.

Set the INT/EXT/RP188 switch to INT and the PRESET/

REGEN switch to REGEN beforehand. When this setting

is in force, the unit reads the time code of the last frame of

the last recorded clip on the disc before starting to record,

and internally generates time code that follows upon the

recorded time code.

In this case, the setting of extended menu item 628 “DF

MODE” is ignored. New time code is recorded in the drop-

frame mode of the last recorded time code on the disc.

To record with the internal time code

generator synchronized to external time

code

You can record with the internal time code generator

synchronized to time code input from an external device.

Use this method to synchronize the time code generators of

a number of recorders, or to carry out recording

maintaining the synchronization between the source video

and time code.

In this case, the settings of the F-RUN/R-RUN switch and

extended menu item 628 “DF MODE” are ignored.

You can synchronize the internal time code generator to

one of the following external time codes.

• TC input to this unit’s TC IN connector

• VITC in a video signal input to this unit

• SMPTE RP188 LTC in an SDI signal input to this unit

• i.LINK TC input to this unit’s S400 (i.LINK)

connector

• i.LINK VITC input to this unit’s S400 (i.LINK)

connector

Use the following procedure to synchronize the internal

time code generator according to the type of external time

code.

Make either of the following connections and settings.

To synchronize to time code input to the TC IN

connector

Connect the time code output from the external device

to the TC IN connector. Press the VIDEO INPUT SEL

button and, while viewing the time data display or the

video panel, select one of SDI, COMPOSITE, or SG.

PRESET/REGEN switch to REGEN.

• Set extended menu item 629 “TC SELECT” to “tc.”

To synchronize to VITC in an input video signal

• Set the INT/EXT/RP188 switch to EXT and the

PRESET/REGEN switch to REGEN.

• Set extended menu item 629 “TC SELECT” to

“vitc.”

To synchronize to SMPTE RP188 LTC in an SDI

signal

Set the INT/EXT/RP188 switch to RP188 and the

PRESET/REGEN switch to REGEN.

To synchronize to i.LINK TC

• Set the INT/EXT/RP188 switch to EXT and the

“vitc.”

For details of menu setting operations, see Chapter 7

“Menus” on page 89.

This starts the internal time code generator running in

synchronization with the external time code generator.

Once the internal time code generator is synchronized

with the external time code generator, even if the

external time code generator connection is removed,

the internal time code generator continues to run.

Notes

• When the input video signal selected is i.LINK or SDI,

setting the INT/EXT/RP188 switch to EXT and the

PRESET/REGEN switch to REGEN automatically

synchronizes the internal time code generator to the time

code received through the S400 (i.LINK) connector or

SDI IN connector.

• When the INT/EXT/RP188 switch is set to EXT and the

PRESET/REGEN switch is set to REGEN, the internal

time code advance mode and frame count mode (for 525

line mode only) are automatically set as follows.

Advance mode: free running

Frame count mode (for 525 line mode only): the same

as the external time code signal (drop frame or non-

drop frame)

To check the synchronization to the external

signal

Press the STOP button to stop this unit, then press the REC

button.

Check that the time code value shown in the time data

display coincides with the external time code value.

To record external time code directly

What is scene selection?

Scene selection is a function which allows you to select

material (clips) from the material recorded on a disc and

perform cut editing. You can do this by operating on this

unit only.

• Scene selection is a convenient way to perform cut

editing in the field and in other offline situations.

• Clip lists (edit data) created with the scene selection

function can be used on XPRI and other full-feature

nonlinear editing systems.

Clips

Material recorded on a disc with this unit is managed in

units called “clips.” A clip contains the material between a

recording start point (In point) and a recording end point

(Out point).

Clips have names beginning with “C” for example

“C0001.”

Clip lists

Data called a “clip list” is created when you use the scene

selection function to select desired clips from the clips

stored on a disc.

Clip lists have names beginning with “E” for example

“E0001.” You can save up to 99 clip lists on a disc.

Sub clips (clips in clip lists)

The specified clips (or parts of clips) in a clip list are called

“sub clips.” Sub clips are virtual data specifying ranges in

the original clips. Clip data in the original clips is not

overwritten.

Clip list editing (current clip list)

Clip lists cannot be edited on disc. To edit clip lists, you

need to load them, one at a time, into the unit memory.

The clip list which is currently loaded into the unit memory

is called the “current clip list.”

The current clip list is always the target of sub clip creation

and editing. Clip list playback also uses the current clip

list.

After creating and editing a clip list, you need to save it to

disc.

Browsing Software

When a computer with the PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing

Software installed is connected to this unit, you can

transfer the proxy AV data and metadata files recorded on

a disc to the computer. On the computer side, PDZ-1

enables you to browse the proxy AV data, add or modify

metadata (titles, comments, essence marks, etc.), or create

a clip list.

The modified metadata and the created clip list can then be

written back to the disc loaded in this unit.

Live logging function

If you set extended menu item 258 “LIVE LOGGING” to

“on,” you can use PDZ-1 to do the following during

recording of high-resolution data: view proxy AV data,

perform cut editing of the data, and enter metadata.

For more information about PDZ-1 functions and

operations, refer to the PDZ-1 help.

System requirements

The following are required to use PDZ-1.

• Computer:

- When using the live logging function:

PC with Intel Pentium 4 CPU, at least 2 GHz (installed

memory: at least 512 MB)

- When not using the live logging function:

General directory

a) UTF-8 file names can be up to 63 bytes in length. (Depending on the

character type, file names (including extension) may be limited to 21

characters.)

b) Only when the write inhibit tab on the disc is set to enable recording, and

when extended menu item 310 “REC INHIBIT” is set to “off.”

The following directory operations are possible in the

General directory.

• Directory creation (up to 64 levels, including the

General directory)

• Deletion and renaming of directories

Notes

• The maximum number of files which can be created on

a disc, including directories, is 5,000.

• File names and directory names can use letters, numbers,

and symbols from the Unicode 2.0 (UTF-8) character

set. 1)

However, the following control characters and symbols

cannot be used.

- Control characters: U+0000 to U+001F, U+007F

- Symbols: ", *, /, :, <, >, ', ?, \, |

1) This is supported from firmware version 1.4. However, the following

character codes cannot be used by FAM connections.

U+010000, U+020000, U+030000, U+040000, U+050000, U+060000,

U+0D0000, U+0E0000, U+0F0000, U+100000

(There are no limits to characters which can be used by FTP connections.)

6-1-3 Assigning User-Defined Clip

Titles

By default, clips on each disc are assigned names in the

range C0001.MXF to C4999.MXF. For this reason, two

discs can contain clips with the same names. The

automatic title generation function allows you to assign

titles to all of the clips on several discs, which facilitates

clip management. For example, if the titles TITLE00001 to

TITLE00020 are assigned to clips C0001.MXF to

C0020.MXF on disc 1, then the titles TITLE00021 to

TITLE00037 are assigned to clips C0001.MXF to

C0017.MXF on disc 2.

Proceed as follows to specify a title and assign it to

recorded clips.

Press the MENU button.

Rotate the jog or shuttle dial to display menu item 035.

With the SHUTTLE button held down, rotate the jog

or shuttle dial to select “on.”
