If SCENE data is used for future non-linear editing or other such applications, it will be
possible to do the job extremely efficiently.
SCENE data is an information exchange system for enhancing efficiency during
editing. It operates by gathering information for editing during shooting and recording it
onto the tape.
The SCENE data information consists of the following data for each cut.
Recording start
time code
Recording stop
time code
MARK

The recording start time code and recording stop time code are automatically written.

MARK is written by operating buttons.

A return is made to cut 1 when the cassette tape is replaced.

In order to ensure frame-to-frame continuity in operation, this unit returns the tape by
several frames from the position of the previous cut’s recording stop, and then it
starts to record the next cut (this is known as overlap recording). For this reason, the
position of the SCENE data information’s recording stop time code is shifted slightly
from the end point of the cut recorded on the tape.

MARK operation
The “No MARK” status is established when recording starts.
MARK is an extremely simple memo (3 types: “No MARK,” “MARK 1” or “MARK 2”)
which is inserted during shooting to facilitate editing afterwards.
Make up your own rules governing the use of these marks by, for instance, assigning
“MARK 1” to one shooting session and “MARK 2” to another. When a situation arises
which meets the conditions of the rules you have made up, press the MARK/CANCEL
button. “MARK 1” now appears in the right corner of the viewfinder. When the
MARK/CANCEL button is pressed again, “MARK 2” appears, and when the
MARK/CANCEL button is pressed yet again, the CANCEL mode is established, and
the “MARK” display in the right corner of the viewfinder is cleared.
When the recording of the next cut is started, this “MARK” is recorded into the internal
memory, and the MARK/CANCEL button may be pressed any number of times until
the next recording is started.
