Editing
6-1 Basic Automatic Editing
Automatic edit modes
The VTR provides the following two modes for automatic editing:
Assemble mode
New scenes are added to the end of previously recorded scenes.
CTL signals, time codes, video and audio signals on tape in the player are recorded onto tape in the recorder VTR.
Insert mode
New scenes are inserted between previously recorded scenes.
CTL signals on tape in the recorder VTR are not overwritten. Video, digital audio, and time code signals can be recorded separately.
Both of these two edit modes support DMC editing. In insert mode, you can also use split editing.
Interpolation of time codes by the CTL counter To use time codes as addresses of edit points, the time codes must be recorded on the tape in ascending order.
As long as they are in ascending order, time codes do not have to be continuous. The CTL counter automatically interpolates data for editing even if there are breaks in the continuity in the time codes.

Editing precautions | |
Using an editing control unit | Editing |
| |
When using an editing control unit to control the VTR, set |
|
the edit delay on the control unit so that |
|
OUT commands are sent to the VTR five frames ahead of |
|
the actual edit point. |
