Analog Linear Editing System With External Switcher

If you already own a DFS-300/300P or DFS-500/500P
DME Switcher, you can combine the EditStation and
your current switcher.
This system employs a DFS-300/300P or DFS-500/

500P DME Switcher as the video switcher and effects
processor. Two analog VCRs are connected as players,
and one analog VCR is connected as the recorder. This
system permits tape-based linear editing only.
