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.
