Sony DFS-700P Control From the BVE-600, 1-60, Control From the PVE-500, Preparations, Procedure

1-60		Control From the PVE-500
		Procedure
				To perform A/B roll editing by controlling the DFS-700/700P from the
				PVE-500, use the following procedure.
				Read this in conjunction with the PVE-500 Operating Instructions.
				1 On the PVE-500, press the A/B button, turning it on.
				2 On the PVE-500, select the FROM source and TO source.
					The FROM source corresponds to the background on the DFS-700/
					700P, and the TO source corresponds to the foreground.
				3 Set the IN and OUT points for the FROM source, the TO source, and
					the recorder, in any order.
					Note
					Because the DFS-700/700P has a built-in frame synchronizer, output
					of player VCR edit points set on the PVE-500 is delayed by 1 frame,
					so that recording begins with the previous frame. However, recorder
					edit points are not delayed.
				4 On the PVE-500, press the TRANS button, turning it on, and set the
					transition duration.
				5 On the DFS-700/700P, select the effect and make other settings as
					required.
					Note that the transition duration set on the PVE-500 takes priority.
				6 Conduct a preview as required and execute the edit.
					The edit is recorded as shown below.

Control From the BVE-600

You can combine the DFS-700/700P with a BVE-600 Editing Control Unit to carry out A/B roll editing using two players and one recorder.

The BVE-600 controls the DFS-700/700P using the GPI trigger signals T1 and T2.

Notes

• You cannot use the built-in switcher of the BVE-600 (BKE-611/612/621/ 622) when you are using the DFS-700/700P.

• For details of preread editing, see the section “Preread Editing” (page 5-

14).

Preparations

Make the following preparations to control the DFS-700/700P from the

BVE-600.

For details of operation, refer to the BVE-600 Operating Instructions.

On the DFS-700/700P

• In page 1 of the setup menu, set F3(PORTS) to “BVE-600”.

• Press the EDITOR button on the control panel, turning it on. (This button is lit when the DFS-700/700P is powered on.)

On the recorder VCR

• Set the recorder VCR so that it enters PB (playback) mode when stopped. (If the VCR has a selector for PB or PB/EE, set it to PB.)

• If the VCR has a built-in TBC, set the VCR to DELAYED SYNC mode.
On the BVE-600
On the rear panel, set S502 DIP switch 3 and S503 DIP switch 2 to the
lower position (OFF), and power the BVE-600 on again.	Chapter
When the unit is shipped from the factory, all DIP switches are set to the
upper position (ON).

Notes
	From Units
• To display the background image during or after a transition, press an
appropriate BACKGROUND bus button on the DFS-700/700P.	Editing
• Because the DFS-700/700P has a built-in frame synchronizer, output of
player VCR edit points set on the BVE-600 is delayed by 1 frame, so that
recording begins with the previous frame. However, recorder edit points
are not delayed. For example, if the IN point of the player VCR is set to
00:00:10:15, actual recording begins from 00:00:10:14.
• The timing of the start of a transition is delayed by two frames from the
BVE-600 setting.
