playback
With the ability to simultaneously record and play back
video from four input/output ports, the unit offers high
efficiency in video production.
You can also select which of the video ports and
SRMemory cards you want to use, and access a single
memory card from multiple ports simultaneously.
Chasing playback and delay-free data
transfer
Using the high-speed SRMemory, you can play back a
high-quality video while it is recording to the SRMemory
card.
In addition, fast processing after a recording operation is
complete allows you to quickly eject the SRMemory card
and deliver it to post production without delay.
1
Multiple Ports
The unit supports a maximum of four input/output ports,
and comes standard with one output board installed. Based
on your production needs and environment, you can
replace the existing output board or install optional input/
output boards to flexibly create channel configurations that
consist of 2 In/2 Out, 1 In/3 Out, 3 In/1 Out, 4 In, or 4 Out.

Ports and SRMemory
Slots
Chapter 4 Basic Operations
The unit is equipped with four input/output ports and four
SRMemory slots, and the signals from an input/output port
can be recorded to SRMemory cards in any of the slots and
the files on the SRMemory cards can be output to any
output port when played back. It is thus necessary to
specify the port and slot to use when recording or playing
back data.
When recording to an SRMemory card from an input port
and when playing back data from an SRMemory card to an
output port, select the port first and then the SRMemory
slot.
Association between input/output port and
SRMemory slot
Once you record or play back data, the unit will memorize
the association between the input/output port and
SRMemory slot selected at that time. The next time you
operate the unit, the SRMemory slot used last time will be
selected automatically if you perform a recording or
playback operation without specifying the SRMemory
slot.
The association will be cleared if another SRMemory slot
is selected or the SRMemory card is ejected from the slot.
For output ports, pressing the EXECUTE button while
holding down the STOP button will also clear the
association between the port and SRMemory slot.

Restrictions on Simultaneous
Recording and Playback
With this unit, you can record the signals simultaneously
from multiple input ports in separate files on one
SRMemory card and play back the files in the SRMemory
card being used for recording. However, recording and
playback functions are limited depending on the port
configuration or SRMemory card type used.
There are three types of SRMemory cards (S55/S25/S15),
each with a different data transfer rate. Use the card type
that best suits your needs.
•S55
These cards have a data transfer rate of 5.5 Gbps. The
high data transfer rate of this card makes it suitable for
recording multiple signals simultaneously in files and
playing back files at the same time.
•S25
These cards have a data transfer rate of 2.5 Gbps. One or
more signals can be recorded or played back
simultaneously. However, functioning limitations may
arise depending on the card’s transfer rate.
•S15
These cards have a data transfer rate of 1.5 Gbps. One or
more signals can be recorded or played back
simultaneously. However, functioning limitations may
arise depending on the card’s transfer rate.

When you use an S25 or S15 card not for recording but for
playback only, four files can be output simultaneously
from the card. Playback can be made from any SRMemory
card in the unit and multiple files can be played back from
one SRMemory card.
Network access
When using a network cable to access the files in
SRMemory cards, you can access the files if other
recording or playback is in process. However, since SDI
input/output has priority, the transfer rate via the network
may decrease depending on input/output port usage.
Troubleshooting
Salvaging SRMemory Card in the
Event Recording does not End
Normally
After recording is completed, press the Eject button to
safely eject the SRMemory card, or press the On/Standby
button on the front panel to end unit operation. Recording
will not end normally if the main power switch of the
connector panel is turned off or the power cord is
disconnected during recording. If this happens, the file
system will not be updated and the video/audio data that
was recorded in real time will not be recognized as a file,
resulting in the content of the file that was recorded being
lost.
The unit is equipped with a function (salvage function) for
restoring the data in SRMemory card with minimal loss.
The salvage function allows the file to be restored based on
the marker and other information recorded to the
SRMemory card.
The salvage process takes a few seconds to up to 60
minutes, depending on the state of the SRMemory card
when the recording was interrupted.
Appendix
Notes
• Before turning off the main power switch on the
connector panel, switch the unit to the standby state with
the On/Standby button on the front panel.
• The salvage function is designed to salvage as much
recorded material as possible in the event that an
unforeseen accident occurs but there is no guarantee that
100% of the data will be restored.
• The data immediately before recording was interrupted
cannot be restored even if you execute this function. The
amount of data that is lost is as follows.
In SR-Lite mode: approx. 8 seconds of the data
In SR-SQ mode: approx. 4 seconds of the data
• Each time you insert an SRMemory card containing a
file that has not been restored or turn the power on with
such card in the unit, a confirmation dialog will appear
asking you whether to perform a salvage.
• An SRMemory card containing a file that has not been
restored cannot be used to play back or record.
• Formatting the SRMemory card will enable you to use it
again, but all recorded data will then be lost.
