Preread Editing

Notes on preread editing

•A BVE-2000 Ver. 2.24 or later is recommended as the editor. In this case, set PREVIEW MODE to FULL, and use a monitor connected to the DFS-700 PROGRAM OUT.

If using a BVE-2000 earlier than Ver. 2.24 or another editor, previewing is not possible.

•It is not possible to set the DFS-700 preread mode from the editor.

It must be set manually.

For an editor other than the BVE-2000, it is not possible to set the preread mode for the VTR. It must be set manually.

•During preread editing, the effect patterns which can be used are restricted to those for which a title can be used automatically.

•During normal editing the video output is delayed by one frame, but during preread editing, the video selected on the background bus only is delayed by 4H.

When carrying out R to P or P to R editing make sure that the background bus signal is available to the R.

•To obtain the DFS-700/700P program output, use digital PGM OUT or analog component PGM OUT connectors on the DFS-700/700P processor unit.

Settings for preread editing

Preparations on the DFS-700/700P

In page 1 of the setup menu, set F2(PRE_RD) to ON. When PRE_RD is set to ON, a "P" appears at the beginning of line 2 of the menu display, indicating preread mode. (Except during preread editing, if PRE_RD is set to ON the edit points will be shifted, so be sure to set it to OFF. It is not possible to make this setting from the editor.)
