Typical Applications
The Bel 6110 is a highly versatile unit and is used worldwide in many different ways.
The following shows some of the most popular application.
1. Typical configuration for two-machine stereo VT editing in manual Òlay-offÓ mode.
Figure 1.
At the required edit point, the Master VTR will drop into ÒRecordÓ, and record the
video from the Playback VTR or any other video source. The audio usually requires
different treatment, such as fading out over a few seconds while the audio from the new
scene is faded in. To accomplish this, a section of audio is recorded on the Bel 6110. This
should start before the edit point, and continue for as long as the fade-out is required. The
Bel 6110 is put into ÒRecordÓ at the appropriate time, whilst monitoring the Master VTR. The
Master VTR is stopped at the end of the required section, together with the Bel 6110. The
Bel 6110 will then drop into the ÒPlay ReadyÓ mode, ready for the VTR to be rewound. The
recording may be checked if required by pressing the ÒPlayÓ button. Whenever the Master
VTR plays back the relevant section, the Bel 6110 will replay the audio in complete
synchronisation. This can then be mixed with the new audio from the Playback VTR and
re-recorded onto the Master VTR.
The memory of the Bel 6110 can be recorded and replayed in the same way as a
continuous loop of magnetic tape. When the installed memory is full, recording may
continue indefinitely. However, only the last section of programme prior to the ÒStopÓ
command will be available for playback. The duration of this section depends upon the
amount of memory installed in the unit.
