Sending (DUMP) and loading (LOAD) edit data to an external component

Loading edit data from an external component

1 Set the communication parameters and format of the data to be received using the INTERFACE setup menu.

2 Press the LOAD ([SHIFT] + [2]) button.

The VTR1 button LED flashes to indicate that the data reception mode is now established.

3 Data is now loaded from the computer or other external component.

The number of the event being loaded appears on the event number display lamps.

4 Loading is completed when all the edit data inside the computer has been sent.

Alternatively, it is completed when the EDL memory is full.

To stop loading at any time, press the ALL STOP button.

<Notes>

O Loading is not possible if the CONTROL switch has been set to the REMOTE or EXT VTR position.

O To execute loading, the communication parameters, etc. of the computer or other external component must also be set.

O The operation may not proceed properly if data in a format which cannot be handled by the unit is received or if modified or edited EDL data is received.

External component settings and communication methods

The external component settings and data communication methods that must be employed differ depending on the component concerned.

For details on the settings and operations, refer to the manuals accompanying the component, its operating system, and communications software program.

1 Use the same communication protocol settings for the external component as for the unit. The unit’s protocol settings can be selected using setup menu item No.205 through No.208 and No.270.

(Factory settings:

Baud rate: 9600 bps, Data length: 8 bits,

Stop bit: 1 stop bit, Parity: odd,

Flow control: None)

The external component (personal computer, etc.) protocol settings are performed using the switches and RS-232C setting commands (MODE command and SPEED command).
