4-1-8 IC Memory Card DataCompatibility Among the DVW-A500/1 and DVW-500/1 SeriesVTRs

•Settings for items that exist only on VTR A and have been assigned to the PF1/2 menus are not read, and the respective function buttons do not appear in menu display on the BKDW-515 attached to VTR B.

IC memory card data recorded on one DVW-A500/1 series or 500/1 series VTR (VTR A) can be read into the VTR memory banks of another DVW-A500/1 series or DVW-500/1 series VTR (VTR B) and equipped with the BKDW-515. If both VTRs are identical in model and optional accessories, the entire IC memory card contents are read and applied as is. If the VTRs differ either in model or optional accessories, the following will occur:

•Settings for those items that are common to both VTR A and VTR B are read (i.e, items that are common to most VTRs and unaffected by series or configuration differences).

•Settings that exist on VTR B but not on VTR A remain unchanged.

For example, if VTR A is a DVW-500/1 and VTR B is a DVW-A500/1, the analog Betacam playback settings on VTR B are not changed by data input from the IC memory card.

•Settings for items that exist only on VTR A are not read.
