User data recording
You can record user data (files other than XDCAM AV
files) on Professional Discs as PC data via the i.LINK or
FTP interface.
This allows Professional Discs to be used as data recording
media, with a data storage capacity of 46.4 GB (when dual-
layer PFD50DLA discs are used).

• The shortest clip that can be recorded is 2 seconds long.
Even if recording start and stop operations are performed
within 2 seconds, a 2-second clip is recorded.
• The maximum number of clips that can be recorded is
300. If the loaded disc already contains 300 clips,
recording operation is not possible. (The message
“MAX # Clips” appears in the time data display area.)
• This unit can record video input signals that are not
synchronized to a reference signal. However, in that
case, video breakup and audio noise may occur in E-E
playback.
• During recording, do not turn off the POWER switch on
the rear panel or disconnect the power cord. This could
cause the clip being recorded to be lost.
For details, see “Handling of discs when recording does
not end normally (salvage functions)” (page 58).

When carrying out audio recording at a reference
level
Set the VARIABLE switch to PRESET.
The audio signals will be recorded at a preset reference

You can change the reference level and the input levels

See page 148 for more information about how to make
maintenance menu settings.
Manually adjusting the audio recording levels
Set the VARIABLE switch to REC and adjust the CH-1/
ALL CH and CH-2 to CH-4 knobs so that the audio level
indications on the audio level meters do not exceed 0 dB
for a maximum volume. Carry out the adjustment in E-E
mode.
