5-1 Automatic Editing
This section describes how to carry out automatic editing
with this unit and another VTR connected to the
REMOTE1-IN (9P) or REMOTE 1-OUT (9P) connector
of this unit.
For details of preparations, see Section “3-1 Connections
to External Devices” (page 27).
5-1-1 Overview
Editing mode
With this unit, you can use the following two edit modes
for automatic editing.
• Assemble editing
Successive portions of the edited result are recorded on
the end of the already completed section.
The CTL signal, video signal, audio signal, and
timecode signal are all newly recorded on the tape.
• Insert editing
New material is recorded at an intermediate point of an
existing recording.
The CTL signal is not overwritten. The video signal,
audio signal, and timecode signal can all be recorded
individually.
You can carry out DMC editing in both editing modes.
In insert editing, split editing is also possible.
To use CTL to interpolate timecode values
When you are using timecode values as edit point
addresses, the timecode must be recorded on the tape in
correct time sequence (i.e. the sections must be in strictly
ascending time order).
If the timecode values are all in correct time sequence, then
if there are any discontinuities in the timecode, the unit
interpolates them using the CTL count.
To record timecode
For automatic editing, regardless of the settings of F1
(TCG SRC) and F2 (TCG MODE) in function menu page
P02: TC, timecode is recorded continuously from the
timecode recorded before the edit IN point.
Using setup menu item
610 , it is also possible to record
timecode according to the settings in the function menu.
Sequence of editing operations
The following flowchart outlines the sequence of
operations in automatic editing with two VTRs.
To use an editing control unit
When controlling this unit with an editing control unit, set
an edit delay on the editing control unit so that the cut-in
and cut-out commands are output 5 frames before the
actual edit point.
