EDIT DATA DUMPING TO/LOADING FROM AN EXTERNAL DEVICE

<Reference>

Concerning the EDL format

Two data formats are available, the AG-A850 format and the CMX340 format, for transferring edit data (EDL) to a personal com- puter or other external device.

1)AG-A850:All the edit data in the EDL memory is sent. This means that the edit data can be perfectly restored when the data which has been output by this unit is loaded again into this unit.

However, the data must be received with EDL AUTO CLR ON selected when events prepared with EDL AUTO CLR ON selected are to be loaded.

Since no distinction is made in the EDL format between the VIDEO reference and AUDIO reference, the VIDEO reference should normally be used for the split edit data.
