When a P2 card with a memory capacity of 8 
GB or more is used in this unit and a one-time 
continuous recording exceeds the prescribed 
duration (approx. 5 minutes for DVCPRO HD, 
approx. 10 minutes for DVCPRO50 or approx. 20 
minutes for DVCPRO or DV) or when a one-time 
recording extends over more than one P2 card, 
the recording concerned will automatically be 
undertaken as a separate clip.
At this time, each clip will be provided with its own 
COUNT value.
Example of recording (DVCPRO50) a clip on 
one P2 card:
Example of recording a clip on two P2 cards:
If the clip thumbnails are displayed as shown in the 
example above or their properties are indicated 
using a P2 device, the thumbnail and COUNT 
value of clip 1 will be displayed.
