5 Press the IN (OUT, AUDIO IN or AUDIO OUT) button.

The time data for the IN (OUT, AUDIO IN or AUDIO OUT) point appears in the menu display.

Note

During split editing, if you set six or more points for the recorder and player VTRs, the time data for the edit points flash, indicating that editing is impossible. Delete all unnecessary edit points by pressing the IN, OUT, AUDIO IN, or AUDIO OUT button while holding down the CLR button.

For details, refer to “Deleting edit points” on page 6-9.

About automatic split edit point setting

Split editing requires a total of eight edit points: four edit points for video editing (IN and OUT points for both the recorder and player VTRs) and four edit points for audio editing (AUDIO IN and OUT points for both the recorder and player VTRs). However, as soon as you set five edit points, the VTR automatically sets the remaining three points. For example, if you set three edit points for video (or audio) and two for audio (or video), the remaining three points are automatically set, regardless of whether these points are for the recorder or player.

In the following example, the points enclosed in a box have been set manually and the AUDIO OUT point for the recorder VTR, and the AUDIO IN and OUT points for the player VTR have been set automatically.

Note that whether set manually or automatically, all edit points can be changed or deleted at any time.

Automatic split edit point setting

You can select audio cut-in, crossfade, and fade in/out in edits, as well as their duration, by VTR SETUP menu.

For details, refer to the menu items in the 300 range in the VTR SETUP menu.

When the AUDIO IN point is not set for insert editing of audio only

As long as the AUDIO OUT point is set, the VTR is ready for preview or editing. If the AUDIO IN point has not been set, the current tape address is automatically set as the AUDIO IN point.

Using a VTR without the split editing function

If the player VTR does not support the separate setting of edit points for video and audio, you can set AUDIO IN and AUDIO OUT points on the recorder and three video edit points to enable split editing.
