Introduction to Use of the PR-80
Creating and Opening Projects
The PR-80 manages materials in what are called “projects.”
What is a Project?
Projects are the most basic unit managed with the PR-80. Materials are imported into projects, and
the projects are played back in real time in Presenter using the imported materials. Furthermore,
settings for realtime playback and the data for editing operations are also saved in projects.
You can share a project between the Presenter and the Editor. This lets you share the video material
in the project. Note, however, that in order to import as video material a sequence or title created with
the Editor, you need to use the Editor's "Feature for Grouping Part of a Sequence As a Single Piece of
Video Material" to make video material out of the required portion.
You can exchange projects with other DV-7 series devices. When you do this, save the project on an
optionally available removable hard disk.
The Relationship Between Materials, Clips, and Palettes
Each project contains the materials used in the project, palettes for arranging the sequence of the
materials, and clips above the palettes to be played back in real time.

Materials are imported from external video decks or other devices using the capture function.
Materials created on computers or other such data can be imported by writing them to digital video
tape or by burning them to CD-Rs as digital video stream files. Using the network function, you can
also copy materials to the PR-80 from computers.
A single project contains twenty palettes. You can arrange up to 32 materials in one palette using the
imported materials within a project.
The materials arranged in a palette are called clips. You can play back video images in real time by
selecting the clips. You can also make settings for individual clips that determine the segment to play
back (In point and End point) as well as loop playback, mode, and other settings.
Projects can be transferred back and forth between the PR-80 and DV-7 Series devices.
