Panasonic SPX900 - Manual (Page 28)

3-7 Normal and Variable Speed
Playback
The PLAY/PAUSE button provides monochrome playback
through the viewfinder and color playback on the LCD monitor. A
color video monitor connected to the VIDEO OUT or MON OUT
connector of the AJ-SPX900E also provides color playback.
When the extension board AJ-YA902AG is attached, the VIDEO
OUT connector outputs an SDI playback (to view the playback,
the OUTPUT SEL switch on the side panel must be positioned to
[MEM]).
Variable speed playback
The FF and REW buttons provide 32 C and 4C fast playbacks
and fast reverse playbacks.
When playback is paused, the FF button locates the beginning
of the next clip while maintaining the pause mode.
When playback is paused, the REW button locates the
beginning of the current clip while maintaining the pause mode.
<Notes>
z When a P2 card has been just removed or inserted, or when
the power has been just turned on for playback, it may take
some time for the AJ-SPX900E to read clip information. If this
is the case, the viewfinder displays “UPDATING”.
z If a P2 card is inserted while another P2 card is being played
back, the clips on the inserted P2 card will not be played back.
A P2 card inserted during playback will be recognised after
playback ends.
z If you perform variable speed playback on a clip split across
more than one P2 card, sound may disappear for a moment.
This is not a fault.
3-8 Voice Memo Function
A voice memo is voice data which can be added to a clip
independently of the normal sound data recorded in the clip.
Voice memos may recorded during recording or playback, or
when recording or playback is paused. They can be played back
in thumbnail display mode.
<Note>
Each clip can accommodate up to 100 voice memos.
If the menu option VOICE MEMO RESERVE is set to “ON”, you
can record at least 10 minutes of voice memos for each P2 card
while clip recording is paused or after recording ends.
Recording a Voice Memo
To add a voice memo to a clip during recording or playback, or
when recording or playback is paused, press the VOICE MEMO
button. A voice memo may be recorded using the voice memo
microphone. Another press of the button stops recording of the
voice memo.
<Notes>
z Voice memos can also be recorded when the LCD monitor is
in thumbnail mode. For more information, see [6-7-2
Recording a Voice Memo].
z Voice memos cannot be recorded when color bars are being
output, video input through the GENLOCK IN connector is
being recorded, or loop recording is being performed.
z During voice memo recording, turn down the speaker volume
to prevent the voice memo microphone from picking up sound
from the speakers of the AJ-SPX900E.
z When voice memo recording is performed during recording/
playback of a clip, the voice memo recording also
automatically ends when recording/playback of the clip ends.
Also, when voice memo recording is performed during
playback of a clip, playback of the clip also automatically ends
when the voice memo recording is ended by pressing the
VOICE MEMO button.
