The video input is selected automatically when you first turn the power on.
·
When video is detected on the S-video input, it will be selected and the S-video indicator on the
front panel (Figure 2, #1) will light. Video will be available on both the composite video outputs
and the S-video outputs when a S-video is used.
·
If video is detected on the Composite input and no S-video is present, the composite video input is
selected and the Composite Video indicator on the front panel (Figure 2, #2 will light. No video
will be available on the S-video Output connectors while composite video is used.
Once an incoming video signal has been detected and indicated, that video input remains selected until
the Cutup Editor is turned off. If the video signal disappears or is disconnected, the Cutup Editor will
blink the selected video indicator. VCR’s in duplication mod will remain in either record-still or stop
until a video signal is detected.
For tone editing from a tone marked tape, connect the video output of the playback VCR to either the
S-video VIDEO IN or the Composite VIDEO IN. Use S-video whenever possible for best results. If
you are using the Composite VIDEO IN use only the Composite VIDEO OUTPUT to connect to
recording VCR’s, since no video will be present on the S-video VIDEO OUTPUT connectors. See
Figure 4 for example wiring for tone editing. Connect the audio out channel that has the tone signal on
it from the playback VCR or camcorder to the TONE IN connector. Make sure the Cutup Editor power
is on, the recording VCR’s you are using indicate the proper mode (blinking for tone, steady for
duplication) on the front panel indicators. Begin playback and make sure the video input you are using
is indicated on the front panel. Check that VCR’s are entering record and returning to pause as dictated
by the tone signal.
Duplication mode can be used with or without the tone signal present. Connect the playback video as
discussed for tone editing. If no tone editing is used during duplication, the audio doesn’t need to be
connected (i.e. all VCR’s are used for duplication).
The Cutup Editor can be rack mounted by attaching the rack mount adapter brackets to the case sides
using the screws provided.
