    Solution

    With the double slot recording function you can record the same MXF clip simultaneously to both CF cards, which is a convenient way to make a backup copy of your recordings while you record.
    REFERENCE
    • You can combine double slot recording and the MXF+MP4 movie format to record the same video on three recording media and in two different video formats.
    NOTE
    • If a CF card becomes full during double slot recording, recording on both cards will stop. On the other hand, if an error occurs with one of the cards, recording will continue on the other card.
    • Double slot recording cannot be used with relay recording or slow & fast motion recording.
