To select animation editing, use the VTR SETUP menu item 301 “EDIT OPERATION MODE”.

normal: Selects normal insert editing.

6-2-3 Preread Editing

Video and digital audio signals already recorded on the tape can be used as an edit source for insert editing. This type of editing is called preread editing, as the VTR uses preread heads to read signals in advance. Signals that are read in advance can be sent to mixers for mixing, then recorded to the original channels or other digital audio channels.

The preread editing settings are performed with the ALT/ [F1] (PRE READ) buttons in the HOME menu.

For details on the settings, see “4-2-4 Preread Settings (PRE READ)” on page 52.
