Insert the card to the correct unit. : The clip’s left- or right-channel card is not inserted. Insert the card with the missing clip channel.

Synchronous Playback Left/right 3D clip pairs not recorded in dual P2 3D mode can be played back using the synchronous playback (SYNC PB) mode. Connect two AG-HPD24 units in the same way as for 3D REC/PB mode, and press the MODE button to select the SYNC PB mode for synchronous video playback operation of the slave with the master unit. However, this mode does not support clip operations other than playback (that is, recording, copying and deleting). 3D clip content not recorded as a Dual P2 3D clip: Clips dubbed from material recorded on an AG-3DA1 with their starting points trued up and length set to be equal using an AJ-HPM200, or clips edited using a non-linear editor and dubbed to a P2 unit that does not support Dual P2 3D recording. The L and R clips are required to have the same time code start point, length, and clip sequence. ◆NOTE: • Insert the P2 cards with the left-eye (L) and right-eye (R) recordings into P2 card slots on the master side and slave sides, respectively. Connections are the same as for 3D REC/PB mode. (➝ “3D Signal Recording and Playback” - “Connections” page 39) 1 Connect two units according to the connection examples. ◆NOTE: • The system frequency cannot be changed when SYNC PB mode is enabled. Set the frequency before selecting the mode. • Set the master and slave units to the same frequency. • The SYNC PB mode cannot be enabled when the system frequency is set to “59-23” or “60-24”. Select the frequency to be used before selecting the SYNC PB mode. 2 Press the MODE button on the master unit. The mode selection menu appears. 3 Select SYNC PB. Use the Up/Down cursor buttons to place a “ ” at SYNC PB, and press the SET button. 4 Both master and slave units restart in SYNC PB mode. Connections Selecting SYNC PB Mode

Synchronous Playback ◆NOTE: • The SYNC PB mode selection is preserved internally when power is turned off, and resumes when power is turned back on. To return to the main mode from the SYNC PB mode, turn the power off during the “WAITING FOR CONNECTION” state, or press the MODE button after startup in SYNC PB mode. • If a LINK cable is not connected, the “WAITING FOR CONNECTION” state occurs. • An error occurs when a connection is interrupted, such as by disconnecting a LINK cable. Reconnect the cable and turn power off and back on. (➝“Warning and Error Messages” Vol. 2, page 83) • An error occurs when the connected units are not the same model and version. • If you inadvertently switch to the SYNC PB mode and activate the “WAITING FOR CONNECTION” state, turn the power off and back on to re-enable the (normal) main mode. • Power on/off operation is the same as for 3D REC/PB mode (➝ “Turning Power On and Off” page 43). When the SYNC PB mode is enabled, all operations are performed from the master unit. The only operation available on the slave unit is pressing the THUMBNAIL button to display the thumbnail screen. Two clips are played back on different devices by synchronizing the order of the clip numbers, although the following requirements apply to obtain correct clip synchronization. • About the Clip Order Clips play back in the order they were recorded. The clips on the P2 card must be in pairs and the recording dates and times within each pair must be the same. If the number of clips or the recording dates and times do not match, playback order on the master and slave differs, causing incorrect playback. • About Clip Length Each pair of video clips must have the same starting point and length. If the clip lengths are different, subsequent playback will be incorrect. • Clip Time Codes Each pair of recorded clips must have the same continuous time code. If the time codes are different or discontinuous, playback cueing may not operate correctly, causing incorrect playback. ◆NOTE: • When a clip fails to play back correctly, a warning is displayed, SDI is muted, and black is output (with DISCRETE L/R setting), or only the left image is output (with side-by-side or frame packing settings). • Playback of mixed-format clips is possible, but may be discontinuous, and subsequent playback wil be incorrect. • Discontinuous time codes may cause an error code to appear when cueing the start and end of clips and during frame-by-frame playback of clips with different start and end time codes. To recover, press the STOP button and after Playback Correctly Synchronizing Playback

stopping, select the clips to be paired on the thumbnail screen and press PLAY or STILL/ PAUSE to synchronize the clips correctly. 1 Insert P2 cards in both master and slave units. 2 Press the PLAY or STILL/PAUSE button on the master unit. Pressing the button automatically cues the slave position to the master (matches the clip numbers and time codes). Pressing PLAY also starts playback. ◆NOTE: • When the first position of the master clip is earlier than that of the slave, the master is cued to the first position of the slave. 3 Press the STOP button on the master unit to stop playback. ◆NOTE: • When stopped, no image (black screen) is displayed. • Signal output is as follows. Discrete left and right output method: Special playback video and video when left and right signals are invalid (such as TC mismatch) is displayed only on the LCD monitor, but is not output as SDI. However, video is available at the master unit’s SD output when the SETUP - VIDEO - DISCRETE BLACK menu setting is OFF. 3D single-unit (side-by-side or frame packing) signal output method: Special playback video and video when left and right images are invalid (such as TC mismatch) appears as both L and R images on the LCD monitor, but only the L signal is output (as both L and R images) to SDI/HDMI.

Synchronous Playback 1 Insert P2 cards in both master and slave units. 2 Press the THUMBNAIL button on the master unit, and move the cursor to the clip to play back. ◆NOTE: • All clips are displayed as thumbnails. • On the slave unit, only the THUMBNAIL and Up/Down/Left/Right cursor buttons are enabled for checking clip order. Playback control is not available on the slave unit while the thumbnails are displayed. 3 Press the PLAY or STILL/PAUSE button on the master unit. Pressing either button automatically cues the slave position to match the master’s clip number and time code position. Pressing the PLAY button also starts playback. ◆NOTE: • When the clip time codes are different, incorrect synchronization prevents correct playback. • When the first position of the master clip is earlier than that of the slave, the master is cued to the first position of the slave. • The slave unit starts playback from the clip with the same clip number as on the master. 4 Press the STOP button on the master unit to stop playback. ◆NOTE: • When stopped, no image (black screen) is displayed.

Main Mode ■Hot Swap Recording With a P2 card in both card slots it is possible to make one continuous recording that spans both cards. You can also record continuously on 3 or more cards (hot swap recording) by replacing one card while recording on the other. ◆NOTE: • P2 card recognition may be delayed and prevent hot swap recording depending on when (immediately prior to or after recording continues onto the other card) a P2 card is inserted in the empty slot. A P2 card should be inserted when there is still 1 minute or more time left on the card that is being recorded. • This machine does not support hot-swapping during playback. ■LOOP REC When a P2 card is inserted in each slot, LOOP REC allows you to record continuously by successively switching cards. When available space on the P2 cards has been used up, recording continues from the first card overwriting previously recorded loop recording. Choose the SETUP - BASIC - LOOP REC - ON menu setting to use the LOOP REC function. ◆NOTE: • Turning the unit off turns off the LOOP REC function and it will remain off when the unit is turned on next time. • Loop recording requires P2 cards with at least one minute of free space each. • During loop recording, the access LEDs for the two P2 cards used in the recording light orange. Note that removing any of the P2 cards will terminate loop recording. • When the SETUP - BASIC - LOOP REC - ON menu setting is selected, “LOOP” is displayed on the first line of the OSD. However, if only one card is inserted, or remaining recording time on a card is less than 1 minute, the LOOP REC function will not work. even if LOOP REC is set to ON.
