10-1 Overview of Auto Event Detector Functions

The Auto Event Detector (AED) detects locations where video signals show large changes (cuts), and locations where the video suddenly becomes brighter for a short period (flash).

Detected events can be converted into essence marks and output. The time code of detected events can be recorded in a Tele-File label.

See Chapter 9 for more information about essence marks, and see Chapter 7 for more information about the Tele-File functions.

The Auto Event Detector function works for all tapes that can be played back by this unit.

Note

Events are output about 3 frames after the actual locations of the events.

Outputtting events converted into essence marks

You can select whether or not to convert into essence marks and output events detected by the AED during playback (normal playback, variable speed playback, and jog playback). Make this selection using setup menu item 659 AED ESSENCE MARK CONVERT.

See page 12-19 for more information about setup menu item 659.

Recording event marks in a Tele-File label

The time code of cut events detected by the AED can be written to a Tele-File label.

To write the time code of cut events to a Tele- File label

With the ENTRY button in the editing control section held down, press the VAR button in the search control section. The tape starts to run in the forward direction at a high speed where noiseless playback is possible, and events detected by the AED are written to a Tele- File label as cue data.

To stop the writing to the Tele-File label, press the STOP button or do something else to change the play mode.

Notes

•Writing stops automatically if the Tele-File memory becomes full.

•Make sure that the Tele-File label is writable, for example by removing write protection if it is applied.
