4-1-8 IC Memory Card Data
Compatibility Among the DVW-
A500/1 and DVW-500/1 Series
VTRs
IC memory card data recorded on one DVW-A500/1
series or 500/1 series VTR (VTR A) can be read into
the VTR memory banks of another DVW-A500/1
series or DVW-500/1 series VTR (VTR B) and
equipped with the BKDW-515. If both VTRs are
identical in model and optional accessories, the entire
IC memory card contents are read and applied as is. If
the VTRs differ either in model or optional
accessories, the following will occur:
• Settings for those items that are common to both
VTR A and VTR B are read (i.e, items that are
common to most VTRs and unaffected by series or
configuration differences).
• Settings that exist on VTR B but not on VTR A
remain unchanged.
For example, if VTR A is a DVW-500/1 and VTR B
is a DVW-A500/1, the analog Betacam playback
settings on VTR B are not changed by data input
from the IC memory card.
• Settings for items that exist only on VTR A are not
read.
• Settings for items that exist only on VTR A and have
been assigned to the PF1/2 menus are not read, and
the respective function buttons do not appear in menu
display on the BKDW-515 attached to VTR B.
