Limitations  

  • About the high-speed playback mode

    When the audio output channel is set to 1ch playback in the Customize panel, it plays back in the high-speed playback mode. Because the load of CPU is reduced in the high-speed playback mode, it is suitable for the playback of DVCPRO HD and AVC-Intra contents.
    However, in the high-speed playback mode, the spanned clip which is generated when the target P2cards are changed during recording can not be played continuously. And it takes 0.5 seconds or more to change clips to another.
    In addition, it is likely to be waited for tens of seconds when there is not enough performance of the personal computer for the decoding of DVCPRO HD and AVC-Intra contents. The image is not displayed, and the black or white picture is displayed during the waiting time.
    When the voice memo play concurrently with the clip, the high-speed playback mode is not used.
    In case of the high-speed playback mode, when the selection clips are changed, or when the playback begins and it ends, the black picture or half updated view area might be displayed.
    The audio only can be heard during playing back.
    When there are many spanned clips, it may run in the high-speed playback mode automatically.
    In this case playback with x1 speed, though it is selected multi-speed playback mode.
