Recording the proxy data [CX20]

With P2 recording on this unit, apart from the normal recording of video, it is also possible to simultaneously record AVC-G6 format as proxy data.

Select the [SYSTEM] menu [FILE FORMAT] [P2].

[REC FORMAT] needs to be set to something other than AVC-G12.

Select the [RECORDING] menu [PROXY REC] [ON].

[PXY] is displayed to the right of the recording format in the camera image screen. This indicates that the recording of the proxy data is set.

Press the REC button.

Proxy data is recorded at the same time that normal video is recorded.

The proxy data is recorded to the memory card in the same card slot used for normal recording. It is not possible to record only proxy data.

[P] is displayed in the thumbnail screen on the clip with a proxy data recorded.

The recorded proxy data cannot be played back with this unit. The data can be played back on a P2 Viewer Plus. For information about P2 Viewer Plus, refer to the following website.

The resolution of the proxy data is the same as the data recorded normally.

The file format is MOV format that is also appropriate to a nonlinear editing. For details of format, refer to “Specifications” ( character_reference Specifications).

When [FILE FORMAT] is set to anything other than [P2], the proxy data cannot be recorded.

When [REC FORMAT] is set to AVC-G12, the proxy data cannot be recorded.

For the recording restriction during the proxy recording, refer to “Recording function that cannot be used simultaneously”. Also, the recording function of the proxy data cannot be simultaneously used with the streaming function ( character_reference Recording function that cannot be used simultaneously, Streaming function).

It is not possible to restore proxy data. When a clip with proxy data is restored, only the data recorded normally is restored. The proxy data is erased.
