The BKDW-515 Control Panel provides six menu screens corresponding to the six operation modes to allow fast and easy adjustment of necessary settings, as well as the ability to store menu settings to a memory card for later recall.

Menu-driven operations for a variety of purposes

Six types of menus appear on the BKDW-515’s 90 ⋅ 72 mm (35/8 inches ⋅ 27/8 inches) display, and are set using the 10 /function buttons to the left and at the bottom of the display.

HOME menu

Use this menu to make the basic settings for recording, playback, and editing operations, and to select channels to be edited during insert editing.

TC menu

Use this menu to make time code settings.

CUE menu

Use this menu to set up to 100 cue points. In page mode, 10 cue points per page can be set on a total of 10 pages.

PF1/PF2 (Personal Function) menus

Use these menus to register up to 40 of the most frequently used items from the other menus (up to ten items each can be registered to PF1, ALT+PF1, PF2 and ALT+PF2). You can display the registerable items by pressing the [F4] (PF1&2 ASSIGN) button in the SET UP menu.

For details, refer to the Installation and Maintenance Manual.

A full complement of storage/recall functions

These functions allow you to store and recall menu settings in either the VTR’s internal memory banks or IC memory cards by title.

VTR memory banks

These memory banks allow you to store up to eight pages of VTR settings in addition to the current VTR settings. Factory settings are also stored here, allowing the VTR to be reset to these values at any time.

IC memory cards

Each IC memory card can hold the current VTR settings as well as up to eight pages of settings. A single IC memory card thus allows you to store and recall the entire contents of the VTR memory banks.

Title function

This function allows you to add titles when storing data to the VTR memory bank or IC memory card, thus facilitating data retrieval and management.

A full range of editing functions

You can connect two DVW-A500/1 or DVW-500/1 series units to enable automatic or manual editing in either assemble or insert mode. The VTR also features a full range of editing functions, including preview, review, preroll, and the setting or changing of edit points.

Quick access to edit points

The following methods are provided for the setting of edit points:

•Multi-cuing for up to 100 edit points

•Search dial with shuttle and jog functions
