Recording of proxy AV data
Proxy AV data is a low-resolution (1.5 Mbps video, 64
kbps per audio channel), MPEG-4 based version of a full-
resolution data stream. Whenever this unit records full-
resolution MPEG HD data, it simultaneously generates
and records low-resolution proxy AV data. Because of its
small size, proxy AV data can be transferred quickly over
computer networks, easily edited in the field with laptop
computers,

Thumbnail searches
An independent clip file is generated whenever recording
starts and stops. The first frame of each clip is used as the
thumbnail for that clip.

Essence mark searches
You can record essence marks at any scene during video
recording, or at the recording stop position. You can
display a list of essence mark scenes on the color LCD or
an external monitor. Essence marks can also be added after
recording with the supplied PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing
Software. Shot marks (SHOT MARK1 and SHOT
MARK2), which are a type of essence mark, can be added
on this unit.

Thumbnail expansion
After selecting a clip in the thumbnail list, you can divide
the clip into 12 parts and show a list of thumbnails for the
first frame in each part. This makes it easy to find the scene
you want within the clip. This expansion can be repeated
up to 3 times (1,728 divisions).
You can also expand the section between a selected
essence mark and the next essence mark.

Scene selection
You can create and play back clip lists of selected clips
from the disc, arranged in any order. One disc can store up
to 99 clip lists. Clip lists make it simple to perform offline
editing in the field for later use with full-scale nonlinear
editing systems.

Repeat playback
You can repeatedly play back any clip or clip list. Unlike
tape, discs can return to the first frame as soon as the last
frame is played, making this function ideal for
presentations with a need for looping content.
