3-6 Handling Discs
The disc is ejected.
After removing the disc, you do not need to return the
screw to its original position. Normal operation will
resume when the unit is powered on again.
3-6-7 Using the Salvage Function
When XDCAM recording does not end normally, the file
system is not updated, video and audio data recorded in
real time is not recognized as files, and clip contents
recorded up to that point are lost.
However, this unit has a salvage function which can hold
losses to the minimum by reconstructing clips on such
discs.
Notes
This function salvages as much recorded material as
possible after an unforeseen accident, but 100%
restoration cannot be guaranteed.
Even when this function is used, it is not possible to
recover data from immediately before the interruption of
recording. (From 4 to 6 seconds of data before the
interruption of recording are lost.)
Full salvage
When a disc that was manually ejected from a device
subjected to a recording interruption due to power off is
loaded into this unit, clips are reconstructed on the basis of
markers recorded on the disc. Processing time is about 30
seconds, although it depends on the state of the disc.
Proceed as follows to perform a full salvage.
1
Insert the disc on which recording did not end
normally.
The message “Salvage ?” appears.
2
Do one of the following.
To salvage
Press the SET button.
Processing begins and the message “Executing.”
appears.
Notes
• If a write protected disc is loaded, the message
“EJECT?” appears. Eject the disc, set the Write
Inhibit tab to the recording enable position, and
insert the disc again.
• This operation cannot be cancelled once it begins.
The message “Complete” appears when processing
finishes. If the message reads “Incomplete!,” the clips
that failed were lost.
To exit without salvaging
Press the RESET button.
The state of section where recording was interrupted is
saved, but no salvage processing is done.
Sections which were recorded normally can be played
back, but no new recording can be done on the disc. (A
quick format can be done on the disc, although all of
its contents will be lost.)
Note
Unless clips are salvaged, the message “Salvage ?”
appears again the next time the disc is inserted or the
unit is powered on.
