Edit Suite Version 2.01 (MANL-0588-02)
4
B. New/Replaced VCR Control Tables
Several VCR Control Tables have been added to Version 2.01, and several IR tables have been
replaced:
1. Pana_046 and 047
These tables add support for Panasonic PV-4680, 4690 and 7680 VCRs.
The Edit Suite jog/shuttle control for these VCRs is limited and may
provide inconsistent results. Instead of using the Edit Suite jog/shuttle,
we suggest you use the Edit Suite transport keys (Play, Pause, Cue) for
rough positioning and the VCR's shuttle knob for fine positioning.
Also note, these tables do not support insert editing when the PV-4680,
4690 or 7680 is used as the record VCR.
Table 046 was available previously, but only via the NEWVCR
function, and if Edit Suite reset (NVRAM INIT), the table needed to be
reentered. In this version, table 046 is permanently in the software so it
never needs to be entered/reentered via the NEWVCR function. Just
select it like you select any other VCR table.
Table 047 is new for version 2.01 and may provide slightly better results
when the above VCRs are used as source VCRs (rather than as
recorders). The only difference between table 046 and 047 is the amount
of time Edit Suite waits after sending some commands before it sends
the next commands. In some tests, there was not enough wait time in
table 046, so the VCR sometimes went into pause mode when it should
have been in play mode. Table 047 fixed these problems.
2. Pana_100
For Panasonic NV-DE3 digital camcorder and other camcorders/VCRs
that have the symptom described below.
With other Edit Suite tables, the camcorder worked fine for most
operations (play, cue, review, go-to, etc.), but failed to do an auto-
record. The camcorder would stop or pause prior to the first edit point
and fail to recover. The problem dealt with the amount of time the
camcorder needed to wait after certain commands were sent; table 100
fixes this problem.
Lanc_100
This table has the same change as the Pana_100 table. There are no Lanc
VCRs/camcorders we know of that require this table. However, should
you encounter a Lanc device that exhibits the same problem as described
in the Pana_100 table, try using this table to fix the problem.
