Playback mode

Pressing the Play button switches the device into playback mode and the last clip recorded on to the drive will instantly begin to playback. Playback allows you to instantly analyze the content. This is key for establishing if takes are correctly focused, lighting has changed, or previewing recorded content with LUTs applied.

The first time the Play button is pressed after recording a clip, the last clip recorded will playback. If you switch back to REC mode after doing this and press the Play button again, the file at the top of the file list will playback.

Once within Play mode the complete Monitoring and Edit tool sets are available by tapping the buttons. Switch from Monitor to Edit tools by toggling the MON and EDIT buttons. Clips/Playlist can be selected by tapping the folder icon in the lower right of the screen, or skip to the next or previous clip via the on screen controls. Additional controls allow you to scrub through clips, set the playback speed and direction, as well as the ability to set the play mode to Loop.

All these functions can also be used in ‘Playout’ mode, and your footage can be viewed on a larger screen or monitor for review and appraisal. You can even apply Log curves and LUTs to your clips as they are played back.

One of the key elements of the SHOGUN CONNECT is the ability to utilize the monitor recorder as a playback and playout device for the content that has been recorded whilst maintaining the same visually lossless high quality images.
