Control From the PVE-500

You can combine the DFS-700/700P with the PVE-500 Editing Control Unit to carry out A/B roll editing using two players and one recorder. The PVE-500 controls the DFS-700/700P using PVE-500 control signals and GPI signals.

Note

For details of preread editing, see the section “Preread Editing” (page 5- 14).

Control using PVE-500 control signals

You can control the following DFS-700/700P functions using 9-pin serial control signals from the PVE-500. Input these signals to the EDITOR connector on the rear panel of the DFS-700/700P.

•Selecting the background image (FROM source) and foreground image (TO source)

•Setting the transition duration

•Executing auto transitions

•Automatic snapshot (when you save editing data on the PVE-500, DFS- 700/700P snapshots are saved and recalled automatically.)

For more information about controlling these functions, refer to the PVE-500

Operating Instructions.

Downstream key control using GPI signals

You can use GPI pulse signals from the PVE-500 to turn the DFS-700/ 700P downstream key function on or off on the falling edge of a pulse. Input the GPI signals to the T2 connector on the DFS-700/700P.

For details of GPI signal timing, see page 5-13.
