Copying

Overview

This unit allows clips, EDLs and files stored on SxS
memory cards to be copied to the internal storage.
By copying clips/EDLs on an SxS memory card to the
internal storage, you can reuse the SxS memory card as
recording
media. This is a convenient practice for long hours
shootings using XDCAM/XDCAM EX camcorders.
MP4/MXF/AVI clips clips on an SxS memory card are
copied to the internal storage as follows.
MP4/AVI clips: Clips in MP4 format are converted to
1)
MXF clips and copied to the MXF clip recording
area managed by this unit. The copied clips can be
handled as normal clips on the internal storage.
MXF clips: Clips in MXF format are copied with no
format conversions to the MXF clip recording area
managed by this unit. The copied clips can be handled
as normal clips on the internal storage.
1) The quality of video and audio data is not degraded.
