6-1-7 Cuing Up and Prerolling

You can preroll the tape to a point prior to the edit start point, or cue up the tape to any edit point.

Follow the procedure below to cue up or preroll the tape.

2

1 Press the RECORDER or PLAYER button to select the VTR which you want to operate.

The button lights up.

2 To cue up the tape to an edit point

Press one of the IN, OUT, AUDIO IN, or AUDIO OUT button while holding down the PREROLL button.

The tape moves to the edit point corresponding to the button, then stops.

To preroll the tape

Press the PREROLL button.

The tape is rewound to a point before the edit start point by the amount determined by the preroll time setting.

Note

When the [F1] (TIMER SEL) button in the TC menu is set to CTL mode, cuing up is slightly slower than in TC mode. This is to maintain the accuracy of the CTL signals.

You can set up the VTR so that priority is placed on cuing accuracy or speed. Change the setting of the VTR SETUP menu item 403 “CUEUP BY TC” and menu item 404 “CUEUP BY CTL”.

Changing the preroll time

The preroll time is factory set to 5 seconds, but can be set to any time between 0 and 30 seconds, in 1-second steps.

For details, see “4-2-6 Setting the Preroll Time (PREROLL TIME)” on page 52.

When changing the preroll time, set it so that the recorded section prior to the edit start point is longer than the preroll time.

The preroll time used in automatic editing is the preroll time set for the recorder.
