Notes

•For a disk recorder, the maximum number of files for a single register is eight.

•The timeline does not support loop and recue.

For the action settings (VTR/disk recorder/Extended VTR timeline editing), use the Device menu.

The data set in the Device menu are saved in a keyframe effect register. When you recall this register and start execution of the keyframe effect, and advance the effect to the keyframe point for which the action is set, an action command is output to the external device through the 9-pin serial port assigned to the VTR, disk recorder or Extended VTR.

Recalling disk recorder/Extended VTR files

Material held on a disk recorder/Extended VTR is managed in units of files. You can recall a file to play it back. (In the case of an Extended VTR, the register number is recalled.)

Accessing the file list

Before playback and suchlike operations on a disk recorder/Extended VTR, it is first necessary to display a list of the disk recorder files on the DCU. The file list includes the following information.

•File name

•Date of last update 1)

•Duration of recorded material 1)

To recall the file list, use the Device menu.

Recalling a file

In the recalled list of files, select the file you want to play back, and open the file.

File list sharing

You can connect multiple DCU serial ports to a single disk recorder/Extended VTR.

You can share the recalled list of files between serial ports connected to the same disk recorder/Extended VTR.

For settings relating to file list sharing, see “Serial Port Settings (Serial Port Assign Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).
