Importing P2 Sources
Register P2 sources to the bin at the same time that they are transferred to the PC.
Connect the P2 device to the PC, and check that the power is turned on.
P2 sources copied to the hard disk on the PC also can be imported in the same way. Copy sources with the folder structure in the device
held intact.

f Clip names registered to the bin are “user clip name” when a user clip name has been set to the P2 clip, and “clip name” when a user clip
name has not been set.
f When editing with EDIUS, P2 clips can be used in the same way as AVI clips. When editing from hard disk, realtime performance
becomes the same as that of AVI files of the same format. When editing directly from the P2 drive, performance becomes 2 stream
realtime in the case of DV, and 1 stream realtime in the case of DVCPRO50. (The above performances are based on the measurement by
Grass Valley. CPU performance varies depending on your system.)
f Partial transfer is available, where In and Out points are set to files on the P2 device and only required parts are transferred to the hard
disk.
“Transferring Only Necessary Parts” (w page 167)
Importing from XDCAM Devices
Register XDCAM sources to the bin at the same time that they are transferred to the PC.
Before importing sources from XDCAM devices, connect the device to the PC via the IEEE1394 interface, and check that the power is
turned on.
XDCAM sources copied to the hard disk on the PC and proxy clips recorded on USB memory also can be imported in the same way. When
copying sources to hard disk on the PC, copy sources with the folder structure in the device held intact.
Import settings can be checked and changed by [Importer/Exporter] in [System Settings] → [XDCAM] → [Browser].
