10SUPER SCENE FINDER FUNCTION

The SSF data recorded on the tape with the GY-DV500/DV550/DV700W’s Super Scene Finder function can be read out by installing the optional SA-K46 RS-232C interface board. Consult your JVC dealer for details on installation of the SA-K46 RS-232C interface board.

Operation

1 Record. Press the [PLAY] button while pressing the [REC] button.

[The [SLAVE] indicator lights in the LCD display and the time code and user bits from the external time code generator are recorded on the tape.

During recording, time code recording continues even after the end of the input regenerated time code.

Input external time code signal synchronized with video signals.

Note on recording time code from the BR-DV600U/E

•To record time code from the BR-DV600U/E, connect the BR-DV600U to the IEEE 1394 connector and follow the procedures shown in “Recording time code data input to the [DV IN] connector”.

 See “Recording preparation” on page 26. No. 416 <NON DROP/DROP> ......... Set according to

the time code mode used on the tape in the source VCR. (U MODEL) No. 460 <TC DUPLICATE> ......... ON

Operation

1 Record. Press the [PLAY] button while pressing the [REC] button.

[The time code on the tape in the source VCR is recorded.

•Time code input to the [TIME CODE IN] connector is ignored.

•Do not connect any device to the [TIME CODE

OUT] connector.

Preparation
Connect the 9-pin D-sub connector of the installed SA-K46
RS-232C interface board to a personal computer, etc. with
an RS-232C cable.
Use a reverse type cable. For RS-232C interface settings,
refer to “RS-232C specifications” on page 36.
Set the No. 050 <REMOTE SELECT> menu switch to
“RS232C”, “IEEE 1394+ RS232C”, “JVC BUS + RS232C”
or “JVC BUS + RS232C + 1394”.
Reading out SSF data
1 Insert the tape on which SSF data is recorded.
2 Transmit the RS-232C command D5h: SSF DATA
SENSE from a personal computer or a non linear
editing system.
[The SSF data is returned from the VCR.

Super Scene Finder (SSF) data

SSF data includes the following items.

SSF data

1.Model ID data

Unique identification code of the recording VCR

2.Reel No.

Cassette tape number

3.Mark in point data

Time code data at the start point specified by pressing the [TAKE] button during shooting in the Mark mode on the JVC Pro camcorder (GY-DV500/DV550, etc.)

4.Mark out point data

Time code data at the end point specified by pressing the [TAKE] button during shooting in the Mark mode on the JVC Pro camcorder (GY-DV500/DV550, etc.)

5.Cue point data

Time code data at the cue points the JVC Pro camcorder (GY-DV500/DV550, etc.) starts and ends recording and the cue point specified by pressing the [TAKE] button during shooting in the Cue mode.

Usage example

You can use SSF data to build a database that will enable you to manage your library of original recordings more efficiently.

1 Select the time code data to be displayed. Set the [COUNTER] switch to “TC” or “UB”. [The counter display shows the time code or user bits.

2 Press the [PLAY] button to play back the time code and user bits. LTC time code is output from the rear panel’s [TIME CODE OUT] connector. VITC time code is not output. The time code data is shown on the on-screen display and counter display. On the on-screen display, the counter mode is shown as “TCR” or “UBR”. To stop playback, press the [STOP] button.

Time code data is recorded in the sub code area of the tape. During playback, the data in the sub code area is processed in the LTC time code format and output to the [TIME CODE OUT] connector.

Note on time code playback without user bits

•When you play back a tape that has no user bits recorded (for example, a tape recorded on a consumer MiniDV VCR), the user bits that were played back last will be displayed.

Note:

•When a tape is recorded from the beginning in this unit, recorded SSF data is erased.

1 By creating a table linking the model ID and reel No. to
the recording’s title, you can easily search and retrieve a
tape.
Recordings
Model ID	Reel No.	Recording title
0001	0222	'01 athletic meeting
0002	0100	'01 spring excursion pSearch
0003	0150	'01 Christmas party
:	:	:

For example, when you retrieve “'01 spring excursion”, the model ID (0002) and the reel No. (0100) are also provided. Please note that this function is not provided. The table must be developed by the user.

2 Based on the “mark in point data”, “mark out point data” and “cue point data” specified with the JVC Pro camcorder (GY-DV500/DV550, etc.) Super Scene Finder function, you can create batch capture data for a non- linear editing system (Canopus’ DVRex-RT or Casablanca). This allows you to automatically acquire only specified scenes. Batch capture data conversion software for Canopus’s DVRex-RT is distributed at no charge on the Internet.
