4. Quick Operation Instruction

To operate the HDR-10, the user needs to be familiar with the supplied Contour Shuttle Express USB 2.0 controller. When viewing the HDR-10 AUX SDI output, relevant controller buttons or wheels are annotated as an OSD menu in the lower left hand corner of the video with a number or icon assigned to each. This OSD menu is not shown on the separate PGM SDI output.

There are four modes of operation within the HDR-10, three main modes and a menu driven maintenance mode. The three main modes follow the normal operation sequence of the HDR-10.

These are, in order:

1. Capture Mode Where live action is monitored and a potential highlight is flagged.
2. Review Mode Where a highlight is precisely edited and can be also saved.

3. Replay Mode

Where the selected highlight is replayed on the PGM OUT port.

In these three modes, dedicated keys are provided for quick access and control. As a reminder, the function of each button or wheel is then annotated in the lower left hand corner of the AUX screen.

Maintenance mode

Accessed from the HOME menu option and is menu driven.

4.1 Capture Mode

The HDR-10 automatically enters this mode when it is first powered on and this mode can also be selected from the OSD Home menu by the user.

In capture mode video is buffered or saved to working memory only. This memory is depicted by a growing red buffer line at the bottom of the AUX OSD display.

This memory buffer will only store up to the latest 30 seconds of video.

Once the buffer memory is full the line stops growing and the HDR-10 starts recycling memory or buffer space. During this recycle process the oldest video frames captured are lost in order to save the latest video data being supplied to the HDR-10.

	2	Drop start cue sets the start point of a particular replay clip
EXIT	5	Exit highlight Capture mode and enter Review mode

When the user presses button 2 on the Jog/Shuttle controller, a start flag or box is shown progressing along the red buffer line. This marks the beginning of a possible video highlight to be replayed. When the user decides enough video has been captured for the highlight clip button 5 is pressed to end capture mode and the unit automatically enters Review Mode.

4.2 Review Mode

The HDR-10 automatically enters this mode when capture mode is exited. This mode can also be selected from the OSD Home menu by the user. In review mode the buffer line has changed colour to a green buffer line to quickly confirm the mode has changed.

The clip marked between the start and exit buttons being pressed in capture mode can now be reviewed, edited further or saved to the removable SSD media as an uncompressed .MOV file.

	1	Save the currently marked clip, between the Start and End points, as an uncompressed MOV file to the removable SSD media.
	2	Drop Start Cue marker at current positionGo to Start Cue marker
	3	Toggles the unit between Drop Marker or Go To marker mode

		Shuttle (outside wheel): Fast forward or rewind at 1x, 2x or 4x speed
	5	Exit the Review mode and move to Replay mode

Saving an edited clip or highlight to MOV file

The HDR-10 only saves the marked clip/highlight on the buffer line to the removable SSD as an uncompressed MOV file. The file size will be large, up to 4GB, depending on the clip length in seconds. The saved clip can be replayed from the unit at a later stage or added (appended) to other clips on the same SSD. The SSD removed from the HDR-10 can also be used to transfer saved clips to a non-linear editing computer.

1. Power on the HDR-10 and by default, the HDR-10 will be in the capture mode.
2. Press the No. 2 control button to place the start cue
3. To stop capturing, press the No. 5 control button (EXIT) and enter the Review Mode
4. In Review Mode, use jog and shuttle wheels to adjust the cursor position and once the cursor is at desired position, replace the start cue and/or the end cue.
5. Press the No. 1 control button (☐) to save after the start and end points are determined.

4.3 Replay Mode

The HDR-10 automatically enters this mode when review mode is exited. This mode can also be selected from the OSD Home menu by the user.

In replay mode the buffer line has also changed colour to blue to quickly confirm the mode has changed.
