Motion memory function

The motion memory function allows you to manually store the player’s playback speed data in memory. You can call up this data later for variable-motion editing.

●Operation : on the recorder (BR-D95U)

The pre-read function makes it easy to add A/B roll editing-style wipes and fades even when using only one player. Pre-read works by reading out the image or sound at the recording start position just before recording starts during editing. Special effects or mixer can then be added to the read-out picture or sound which is then recorded at its original position together with the incoming material. And because both sources (the player and recorder) can handle moving pictures, you’ll be able to achieve smooth, natural and professional looking special editing effects. Pre-read can be used with both video and audio signals.

	• Up to 128 steps can be stored in the motion memory. The number of steps
	remaining is shown on the editing screen.
	• When the motion memory function is activated, “MM” is shown on the
	editing screen. As long as MM data is stored in memory, the [PREVIEW]
	button will blink.
6.	Register the edit OUT point to end the motion memory setting.
	• To store the speed in memory again, press the [PREVIEW] button. The
	edit OUT point is automatically canceled.
	• To check the stored data, press the [PREVIEW] button while pressing the

●BR-D95U menu switch No. 351 <PREREAD>

Set menu switch No. 351 <PREREAD> to “OFF” when using an editing controller with pre-read capability. Set menu switch No. 351 <PREREAD> to “ON” when using an editing controller with no pre-read capability. This menu switch can be switched ON/OFF independently for video and audio.

●When audio pre-read is performed, it is recommended to use the [AUDIO REC] volume knobs preset position because audio level for recording cannot be checked.

●Setting the audio output phase for audio pre-read

Use <AUDIO PHASE> in the audio control menu to adjust the audio output phase to correspond with the video output phase (see page 118).

●Correcting audio output phase delay during audio pre-read

To correct audio output timing, set menu switch No. 352 <AUD PREREAD TIMING> to “OFF SET”. Correction is performed by detecting the delay of the external video device based on the delay set with <AUDIO PHASE> in the audio control menu.

Cautions

●Before the pre-read menu switch setting is released, be sure to disconnect the units for pre-read editing. Otherwise, a loop occurs in the connection cables, causing excessive sound volume and distortion which may damage the connected equipment.

●It is not possible to rewrite sub time code data when the pre-read function is used.
