Match frame processing mechanism

When two VTRs are used for audio split editing operations, there will be a total of eight edit points: two pairs of video IN and OUT points, one for the player and the other for the recorder, and two pairs of audio IN and OUT points, one for the player and the other for the recorder. Since the remaining three points are automatically calculated when five of these eight edit points are entered, up to five edit points can be entered.

■When a VTR without a split editing function is to be used as the

player

When a VTR which does not have the ability to set the video and audio edit points separately is used as the player, split editing can still be performed by setting the audio In and OUT points using the recorder and setting the data of three points as the video edit points.

Note:

If, during audio split editing, only the video OUT point (or audio OUT point) is entered and automatic editing is executed without the audio OUT point (or video OUT point) having been entered, editing will continue until the audio OUT point (or video OUT point) is entered or the STOP button is pressed to suspend operation.
