VCR Tables
This appendix describes each of the VCR tables available with Edit Suite. There is
a separate table for each protocol—PANA, LANC, 422, 232 and IR.
Each table provides a general description of the protocol and information that
will help you determine the settings for the VCR, TCSRC and TC Configuration
Parameters.
The
bolded
numbers in each table are the primary VCR numbers used for that
protocol. The other VCR numbers in the table provide alternative choices you
can use depending on the characteristics of your VCR or your preference for jog
and shuttle control.

DESCRIPTION
PANA
VCR table 001 is the primary table for VCRs and camcorders using Panasonic Control-
M protocol. The other tables in the PANA group change the performance of the jog
and/or shuttle.
If the videotapes used with a PANA VCR are not striped with VITC or LTC, select
TCSRC=INT and TC=NONE in the configuration parameters.
If VITC or LTC is striped on the tapes, the time code must be delivered to Edit Suite
via an audio (LTC) or video (VITC) cable attached to Edit Suite's Time Code IN port.
In this case, select TCSRC=EXT and TC=VITC or LTC.
001
Primary table for VCRs and camcorders using PANA protocol. The table has two
shuttle speeds between pause and play and two speeds between pause and reverse
play. It also supports all other transport control functions.
For VCRs and camcorders with jog (frame advance) capabilities, each slow turn of the
jog advances/rewinds the video approximately two frames. Faster turns increase the
speed up to a maximum of Play speed.
002 Same as PANA 001, but with three speeds between pause and play and pause and
reverse play. Table 002 also increases the number of frames per slow turn of the jog to
four.
011 Same as PANA 001, but with the jog remaining in jog speed instead of increasing in
speed the faster it is turned.
111 Same as PANA 001, but each slow turn of the jog advances/rewinds the video
approximately four frames.
112 Same as PANA 001, but each slow turn of the jog advances/rewinds the video
approximately seven and one half frames.
