About the Scene End Cue Up Function
When the CONTINUE button is pressed while the LOG
button is kept pressed in the stop mode, the tape winds
to the S.S.F. data’s last OUT point, after which the unit
enters the record-pause mode. (Scene End Cue Up)
The FF button’s LED blinks during the Scene End Cue
Up mode.
Precautions when writing S.S.F. data
• When S.S.F. data stored in the memory of the GY-DV550
is written to the beginning of the rewound tape,
approximately 5 seconds of recorded video and/or sound
will be erased at the beginning.
In the case of important recordings, leave 5 seconds or
more of the tape unrecorded before starting recording.
• Writing of S.S.F. data should be done with the DC cable
disconnected.
Once a tape with recorded S.S.F. data is ejected and then
reinserted again, the previous data will be erased if new
S.S.F. data are recorded on the tape.
Note:
The S.S.F. data in the memory of the main unit or that recorded
at the beginning of the tape can be output via the REMOTE
connector using the RS-232C controller.
For how to make connections for this, refer to “Connecting a
PC” on page 71.
In the stopped condition, the GY-DV550 answers with the S.S.F.
data when it receives the RS-232C command D5h “S.S.F. DATA
SENSE” from the PC.

END
When recording in the S.S.F. mode is completed, and the
cassette tape has not been taken out, the S.S.F. data stored
in the memory of the GY-DV550 are output when the RS-
232C command D5h is received.
If the tape recorded in S.S.F. mode is ejected and then loaded
again, the GY-DV550 rewinds the tape to the beginning and
plays back for about 10 seconds when it receives the RS-
232C command D5h.
During the playback, the model lD data and reel number
recorded on the tape are read. If corresponding S.S.F. data
are found in the memory, these data are output.
If corresponding S.S.F. data are not found in the memory, the
tape is rewound to the beginning once more, and after about
20 seconds of slow playback the stop mode is entered.
During slow playback, if S.S.F. data are written at the
beginning of the tape, these data are read out, and after the
stop mode is entered the S.S.F. data are output.
∗
If S.S.F. data does not exist, the 05h (NOT TARGET)
command is output.
