Overview
Chapter 4 Scene Selection
Clip
Material recorded with this unit is managed in units called
“clips”. A clip contains the material between a recording
start point and a recording end point.
Clips have numbers beginning with C, for example C0001.
Instead of using clip numbers, you can manage clips by
assigning clip titles or names. !"#$%&'()*+,$+&&$-(.&+$/0$
(1%$//2
Clip list
You can use the scene selection function to select desired
clips from the clips saved on a disc and create a cut edit list
called a “clip list”.
Clip lists have numbers beginning with E, for example
E0001. Up to 99 clip lists can be saved 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 edit lists specifying
ranges in the original clips. Clip data in the original clips is
not overwritten.
The following figure illustrates the relation between clips
and sub clips.
Clip list editing (current clip list)
To edit a clip list, you need to load the clip list from the
disc into the internal 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.
Clip list playback
Clips and clip lists are saved together on a disc.
Clips are played back according to clip list data.

Clips on the disc
In the above example, the whole of clip 2 has been added as sub
clip 1, and the whole of clip 4 has been added as sub clip 2. Sub
clip 3 is part of clip 3. Therefore, when clip list E0001 is played
back, clip 4 is played after clip 2, and then the part of clip 3 shown
in gray color is played.
