10 SUPER SCENE FINDER FUNCTIONPreparation
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”.
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.
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.
1By 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
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.
2Based 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.

Reading out SSF data
1Insert the tape on which SSF data is recorded.
2Transmit 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.
