73. Basic operations3-12. SD memory cardsThe unit’s frame memory data and system data can be stored on SD memory cards.Conversely, this data can be loaded from the SD memory cards to the unit.Frame memory data (still image data):The unit supports 4-bit (uncompressed) BMP (bitmap) and JPEG (baseline) is the only file formats.JPEG format files can be loaded, but they become BMP format files when they are stored from the unit to theSD memory card.This unit cannot resize the images so resize them appropriately using another device such as a personalcomputer before saving them on the SD memory card.HD/1080i: 1901080, HD/70p: 18070,SD/NTSC: 70487, SD/PAL: 7076BMP files:If the sizes are different, the centre of the images will be lined up.If the image is large, it will be cropped.If the image is small, the area around it will be filled in with a black border.JPEG files:Images in the sizes listed in “Applicable sizes” above can be loaded.The pixels of images in SD format are not square, so the aspect ratio will be different when the images aredisplayed on the computer and when they are imported into frame memory (with NTSC format, they will bevertically long).To keep the images true to their actual proportions, make sure the original size is 7040 pixels. If theimages are in NTSC format, use images shrunk to 70487 pixels. If the images are in PAL format, useimages enlarged to 7076 pixels.System data:The “system data” refers to all the data stored in the unit with the exception of the date, time and networksettings and of the still image data. The extension used for the system data files is “hs4”.SD memory card handling precautions Do NOT eject the SD memory card while the SD memory card access LED is lit.When an SD memory card is ejected while the SD memory card access LED is lit, the transition of theoperation from data access to card ejection may be temporarily suspended.In addition, the data stored on the SD memory card may be lost. The data stored on SD memory cards may be lost as a result of misplacing the cards or performing erroneousoperations, for instance. It is recommended that valuable data be stored on a personal computer or otherdevice.
