Insert edit mode
In insert editing, you insert video, audio, and time code at desired positions on an already recorded tape. You can insert all three types of data at the same time or insert one of the types separately.
Note
Before you use an unrecorded tape in insert editing, a video signal, e.g. a black signal, and time code must be recorded on all over the tape.
You can carry out DMC editing in both edit modes. In insert editing, split editing is also possible.
To record a video signal and time code on an unrecorded tape When recording a video signal and time code on an unrecorded tape to use it as a recording tape in insert editing, you can use a test signal generated by the internal signal generator of the unit. An example procedure follows.
1Insert an unrecorded cassette in the unit and rewind it.
2Using the VIDEO IN button in the input selection section (see page 15), select the video test signal (SG) as the input video signal.
3Set switches on the subsidiary control panel (see page 26) as follow.
DF/NDF switch: Set as required.
4Set an initial time code value (see page 40)
5Carry out recording (see page 48).
Recording time code
For automatic editing, regardless of the settings of the INT/EXT− PRESET/REGEN switch, time code is recorded continuously from the previous time code recorded on the tape.
Using extended menu item 610, it is also possible to record time code according to the settings on the control panels.
