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-

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.

When the unit is shipped from the factory, all DIP switches are set to the upper position (ON).

Notes

•To display the background image during or after a transition, press an appropriate BACKGROUND bus button on the DFS-700/700P.

•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.
