Re: XDCAM EX files unusual behavior
by Don Greening on Jun 13, 2009 at 5:24:55 am

[Jim Watt] "In most cases the file is broken into 2 clips, but once in awhile there is a third clip in the file."

Keep in mind that solid state media is formatted in FAT32 binary which has a file size limit of 4 Gbytes. This may be why you're seeing single clips split into pieces to conform to the card formatting. One of the reasons why programs like Sony's Clip Browser and Transfer Tool exist is to consolidate clips so you can view and edit them just the way they were recorded. If you haven't noticed these split clips in the past the reason might be that your previous clips never reached the 4 Gbyte size limit.

[Jim Watt] "I'm also seeing some breakup in the EX-3 in the monitor, but not in the files."

At least you know that the clips are being recorded properly even though you're seeing problems with the monitoring. I haven't worked with the Panny 17" so I can't offer any suggestions. Is the picture breakup occurring with both the EX1 and the Varicam?
