Editing
The HT800 Series supports single and two machine
editing for video, up to four analogue and up to eight
digital audio tracks.
All record and playback devices must be correctly
wired for video, audio, and time code.
Set the controller for either assembly editing or insert
editing (see Chapter 4).
The assemble or insert lights will illuminate on the
front of the VTR indicating that the VTR is set to edit.
The following ‘rules’ apply to all editing modes:
IN point times must be less than OUT point times
The controller does IN only edits by setting the
OUT point time code to be the same as the IN
point time code
A suitable pre roll time should be set (normally 5
seconds - see Chapter 4)
VTR1 is always regarded as the player and VTR2
(or more) is always regarded as the recorder
The controller monitors all the VTRs whilst cueing
to make sure that they have reached their IN
points before an edit commences
Synchronisation between VTRs during the edit is
carried out by the VTRs themselves and is locked
to the reference input of the VTRs
The VTR remains in EDIT mode until it is turned
off via the menu (see Chapter 4)
