CONTINUE button

S.S.F. data stored in the unitís memory can be written to the beginning of tape.

Precautions when writing S.S.F. data

•When S.S.F. data stored in the memory of the GY-DV550 is written to the beginning of the rewound tape, approximately 5 seconds of recorded video and/or sound will be erased at the beginning.

In the case of important recordings, leave 5 seconds or more of the tape unrecorded before starting recording.

•Writing of S.S.F. data should be done with the DC cable disconnected.

Operation

1. Press the STOP button to enter the stop mode.

2. Press the REW button while the LOG button is kept pressed.

•The REW indicator blinks during tape transport in the writing position.

•The LOG indicator lights while S.S.F. data are being written to the tape.

•When writing to the tape is completed, the LOG indicator goes out.

About the Scene End Cue Up Function

When the CONTINUE button is pressed while the LOG button is kept pressed in the stop mode, the tape winds to the S.S.F. data’s last OUT point, after which the unit enters the record-pause mode. (Scene End Cue Up)

The FF button’s LED blinks during the Scene End Cue Up mode.

Note:

Once a tape with recorded S.S.F. data is ejected and then reinserted again, the previous data will be erased if new S.S.F. data are recorded on the tape.

10-6 Outputting S.S.F. Data

The S.S.F. data in the memory of the main unit or that recorded at the beginning of the tape can be output via the REMOTE connector using the RS-232C controller.

For how to make connections for this, refer to “Connecting a PC” on page 71.

Operation

In the stopped condition, the GY-DV550 answers with the S.S.F. data when it receives the RS-232C command D5h “S.S.F. DATA SENSE” from the PC.

Operation

When recording in the S.S.F. mode is completed, and the cassette tape has not been taken out, the S.S.F. data stored in the memory of the GY-DV550 are output when the RS- 232C command D5h is received.

If the tape recorded in S.S.F. mode is ejected and then loaded again, the GY-DV550 rewinds the tape to the beginning and plays back for about 10 seconds when it receives the RS- 232C command D5h.

During the playback, the model lD data and reel number recorded on the tape are read. If corresponding S.S.F. data are found in the memory, these data are output.

If corresponding S.S.F. data are not found in the memory, the tape is rewound to the beginning once more, and after about 20 seconds of slow playback the stop mode is entered.

During slow playback, if S.S.F. data are written at the beginning of the tape, these data are read out, and after the stop mode is entered the S.S.F. data are output.

∗If S.S.F. data does not exist, the 05h (NOT TARGET) command is output.
