Editing

Before editing (continued)
Tips
•If the other VCR has a LANC
jack of 5-pin DIN type,
connect with the VK-810
Control L connecting cable
(not supplied).
•The jacks labeled CONTROL
L or REMOTE have the same
function as LANC jacks.
Notes
•The VCR (recorder) receives
the time code data from the
LANC jack only when the
other VCR (player) is set to
show the time code
indications.
• If this VCR cannot control
the other VCR, check the
settings of “LANC MODE”
and “SHUTTLE MODE” on
both VCRs.
• The time code of this VCR
follows the Drop Frame
mode. To correct the error,
the time codes may not be
displayed on some frames.
Notes
•With the DV connection, the
sound is recorded in the
same audio mode as the
source tape. To record in a
different audio mode from
the source tape, use the
LINE connection instead.
•The DV jack of this VCR
outputs playback video and
audio signals only. Signals
from the VCR's tuner or line
inputs are not output from
the DV jack.
•If you insert the sound on
the stereo 2 track of the
picture under the following
conditions, the inserted
sound will be muted even if
you select to listen to both
sound on stereo 1 track and
stereo 2 track:
You make the player VCR
enter the playback pause
mode, or slow or high-speed
playback, and then record
that picture on this VCR
with the DV connection.
Tip
•With the DV connection, the
playback VCR transmits the
recording data on the source
tape. So when you play back
the recorded tape and press
the DATA CODE button, the
same time and input data as
on the source tape is
displayed.
Connectors and features used for editing
LANC jack
The LANC (Local Application Control) connection lets you control the
connected equipment for easier editing. The LANC connection
transmits signals such as control signals, status data and time code data.
When connecting VCRs with the LANC cable, you need to set the
LANC mode for each VCR.
•On the VCR that controls the other VCR: set LANC mode to “M.”
•On the VCR to be controlled from the other VCR or editing machine:
set LANC mode to “S.”
In a case of a commander that does not have a LANC mode switch or a
LANC mode menu, LANC mode is usually set to “S.”
Time code
Time codes are signals recorded on the tape so that you can precisely
specify a point on the tape. This signal is recorded on the tape for every
frame (about 30 frames per second). On this VCR, time codes are
recorded automatically during recording.
To check the time code, press COUNTER SELECT until the TIME CODE
appears in the display window.
Usually, the time code is recorded consecutively from “0H00M00S00F,”
from the beginning of the tape. However, if there are blank sections in
the tape, time codes are recorded out of sequence and assemble editing
will not function correctly. To prevent this, first copy the source tape
and use the copied tape for editing. The time code will be recorded
consecutively on the copied tape.
DV connection
The DV jack transmits video and audio signals in digital form.
The video and audio signals are sent with hardly any degradation,
enabling high-quality editing. The signal flow is automatically detected
so you do not need to make separate connections for input and output.
Because more data is sent through the DV connection compared to the
LINE connection, some features are not available with this connection.
– The on-screen display of the other VCR cannot be sent with the DV
input picture. To view the on-screen display, connect the other VCR
directly to a TV.
– Picture adjustments made on the other VCR, such as Y/C delay
cannot be sent with the DV input picture. The other VCR’s playback
picture is recorded on this VCR in its original state.
– If you playback/record both of the main and sub tracks, the mixed
sound is output/recorded from the DV jack regardless of the Audio
Monitor setting. The Audio Monitor setting is effective only when
you playback/record the analog signal.
– Contents of the cassette memory are not transmitted.
– If the source tape is played back at speeds other than normal, the
audio signals are not transmitted.
