Menu List

Item number	Item	Settable range		Function
K07	CAPSTAN LOCK	[0]	[2F]	Switches the capstan servo lock mode for editing or playing
(DVW-A500/1		1	4F	a tape with decoded component signals (i.e., a tape with
and 500/1)				composite input data recorded on a Digital Betacam VTR
				or Betacam/Betacam SP VTR).
				0: The capstan servo is locked every 2 fields. Since color
				framing is disabled, phase shifting (H-shifting) of output
				video signals does not occur during playback. This is
				the normal setting for editing or playback of component
				signals.
				To enhance the frequency characteristics, H-shifting of
				the video output on the basis of the decoding
				information on the tape may also be performed by
				setting the item 712.
				1: The capstan servo is locked to the color frame every 4
				fields. The VTR maintains the phase of the video output
				signals even after repeated stopping and restarting of
				playback. Use this setting if you require continuity in
				video phase at edit points during editing or playback of
				composite signals, or when you perform AB rolling.
K07	CAPSTAN LOCK	[0]	[2F]	Switches the capstan servo lock mode for editing or playing
(DVW-A500P/1		1	4F	a tape with decoded component signals (i.e., a tape with
and 500P/1)		2	8F	composite input data recorded on a Digital Betacam VTR
				or Betacam/Betacam SP VTR).
				0: The capstan servo is locked every 2 fields. Since color
				framing is disabled, phase shifting (picture shifting) of
				output video signals does not occur during playback.
				This is the normal setting for editing or playback of
				component signals.
				To enhance the frequency characteristics, H-shifting of
				the video output on the basis of the decoding
				information on the tape may also be performed by
				setting the item 712.
				1: The capstan servo is locked every 4 fields. This is the
				normal setting for editing of component signals with
				quick servo lock.
				To enhance the frequency characteristics, H-shifting of
				the video output on the basis of the decoding
				information on the tape may also be performed by
				setting the item 712.
				2: The capstan servo is locked to the color frame every 8
				fields. The VTR maintains the phase of the video output
				signals even after repeated stopping and restarting of
				playback. Use this setting if you require continuity in
				video phase at edit points during editing or playback of
				composite signals, or when you perform AB rolling.
K08	TIMER SELECT	[0]	[CTL]	Selects the time data display.
		1	TC	0: Displays the value read by the time code reader or the
		2	UBIT	value generated by the time code generator. To switch
				between VITC and LTC, press the [F5] (TC SEL) button.
				1: Counts the CTL signals on the playback tape or the CTL
				signals being recorded on the tape, and displays the
				tape running time in hours, minutes, seconds, and
				frames.
				2: Displays user bits data inserted in time code being
				played back, or the user bits data inserted in time code
				being recording. To switch between VITC and LTC,
				press the [F5] (TC SEL) button.
K09	TC SELECT	[0]	[ltc]	Selects the time code to be read by the time code reader
		1	vitc	during playback.
		2	auto	0: Reads LTC.
				1: Reads VITC.
				2: Reads VITC when the playback speed is ±1/2 times
				normal speed or less, and LTC when it is greater than
				±1/2 times normal speed.
