 Introduction
Jog and Shuttle Operations Using the Search Dial
The search dial is used to search and check video. 
Each press of the dial alternates it between SHTL mode and 
JOG mode. When the power is turned on, the search dial will not operate 
unless it is first returned to the STILL position. 
1Press the search dial so that it remains pressed in. 
The jog mode is now engaged. 
2Turn the search dial. 
The dial’s click stops are released and playback is
performed at the speed the dial (–1 to +1×) is turned. 
When the dial stops turning, the video becomes a still
picture. 
3To go to another mode from the jog mode, press the
button of the desired mode. 
◆NOTE: 
 In the factory default setting, turning the search dial engages 
the direct search mode for immediate access to a search mode 
(jog mode or shuttle mode).
 You can select [KEY] in setup menu No. 100 (SEARCH ENA) so 
that the unit will not engage the search mode unless you press 
the STILL/PAUSE button. 
1Press the search dial to release it. 
This engages the shuttle mode. 
When the power has just been turned on, turn the search
dial to its center position. 
2Press the STILL/PAUSE button. 
3Turn the search dial. 
The playback picture speed changes from 0 to ±16×
depending on dial position. 
Use setup menu No. 101 (SHTL MAX) to set maximum
speed to ±8, ±16, ±32, ±60 or ±100×. The dial has a click-
stop at the center for viewing still pictures. 
4To go to another mode from the shuttle mode, press
the STOP   button or other button. 
◆NOTE: 
 The playback audio is audible at speeds in the range –10 to 
+10× from the audio monitor output. 
 The playback audio in the search mode contains noise. 
 Playing back a clip that spans a multiple of P2 cards at speeds 
faster than ±1× may break up the sound in the transition to 
another card; this is normal and not indicative of a malfunction. 
 Playing back a clip at speeds faster than –10× may break up the

Clip Management
Thumbnail and Clip Management
This unit provides a thumbnail screen for managing clips. A 
clip is a single data item that contains video, audio, metadata 
and other additional information. Normally, a clip is one shot 
generated from the start of recording until recording stops. A 
shot that spans multiple P2 cards is handled as a single clip.
The thumbnail screen shows a list of thumbnails. Each 
thumbnail, which is the first frame of each clip, represents that 
clip. These thumbnails allow you check and also perform the 
following clip management operations. 
 Play back, copy, delete and repair clips
 Insert text memos in clips
 Check and delete text memos
 Display and delete markers
 Format P2 cards
 Show clip property
 Show P2 card status
◆NOTE:
 Thumbnails are generated from part of the captured video and 
therefore appear rougher than the actual video. 
 Thumbnail screens are output also via the VIDEO MONITOR 
connector but may run off the screen depending on the type of 
monitor that is connected.
