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 SDI OUT or
MON OUT connector of camera-recorder also provides color
playback.
You can also view playback with SDI from the SDI OUT
connector, but the SDI OUT MODE menu option needs to be
set to "MEM". The menu item SDI OUT MODE is found in
the <OUTPUT SEL> screen on the SYSTEM SETTING
page.
Variable speed playback
The FF and REW buttons provide 32a and 4a 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.
Text memos are time-coded thumbnails added to any video
point when a clip is being recorded or played back. The Text
Memo button adds text memo information at the appropriate
point. You can edit added text memos using the P2 viewer.
Through a thumbnail display, you can choose and play back
the text memo point or copy any portion.

Recording and Playback: Normal and Variable Speed Playback
When playback is paused, the REW button locates the
beginning of the current clip while maintaining the pause
mode.
Notes
The camera-recorder cannot play back clips where the
SYSTEM MODE differs. If this is the case, set the SYSTEM
MODE of camera-recorder to the format of the desired clip
before playing it back.
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 camera-recorder to read clip information. If
this is the case, the viewfinder displays "UPDATING". If data
is played back when the P2 card is being recognized, the
message "CANNOT PLAY" will be displayed.
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.
Notes
One clip can have up to 100 text memos.
Text memos can also be recorded when the LCD monitor is
in thumbnail mode. In this case, the text memo is added to
the position on the clip where the cursor is set (normally at
the beginning) only.
For a clip with voice memos added through the AJ-SPX800
or any other camera-recorder, you can record up to 100 text
and voice memos in combination. For information about
voice memos, see the instruction manual for the AJ-SPX800.
Text memos cannot be recorded when the color bar is output
or the unit is in LOOP REC mode and INTERVAL REC mode.
