Basic Functions of Each Mode
5-1 Motion Modes
As explained in Chapter 3, this unit has 2 motion modes:
the SS mode (Sony Super Motion mode) and the SD mode
(Standard Motion mode). Normal playback, recording,
and editing are performed in SD mode. Recording and
simultaneous playback from a Super Slow-compatible
camera connected to the MAV-555SS are performed in SS
mode.
This section explains how to change modes and the
differences in the selection procedures.
5-1-1 Changing the Motion Mode
The motion mode is selected using the Basic menu.
To change the motion mode
1
Select the desired mode or SD mode port
configuration with the PORT CONFIGURATION
(menu 042) Basic menu item.
2
Execute -FAST REBOOT (menu 027) in the Basic
menu. Instead of executing -FAST REBOOT, you can
restart the unit.
5-1-2 Basic Operation with SS Mode
Available operation modes with SS mode
Unlike with SD mode when you can select any of the
operation modes, with SS mode you can only select the
Panel or DTR+Panel mode.
For details about changing the operation mode and the basic
operation with each operation mode, see sections 5-2 to 5-5.
For an overview of each operation mode, see Chapter 3.
Port configuration with SS mode
Regardless of the operation mode selected, only the
1 input/1 output configuration is available, with R1 as the
recording port and P1 as the playback port.
Limitations with SS mode
• With Panel mode, Super Motion material being recorded
with the optional BKMA-505 control panel cannot be
edited with effects from the optional BKMA-560 or
BKMA-561.
• With DTR+Panel mode, the file name appended
automatically is LIVE_SS.
• When changing from SD to SS mode, the possible
remaining recording time for material assigned to the
port becomes 1/3 of that in SD mode.
• EE signal outputs SS-A signals.
• In SS mode, a bridge connection at the SDI IN port is not
possible.
