Shooting with the DSR-1/1P

Setting Mark IN/OUT points as you shoot

Instead of continuing shots from scene to scene, you can specify Mark IN and Mark OUT points as you shoot and set scene numbers (ranging from 001 to 198).

1 Perform steps 1 and 2 from “Using the ClipLink Function” (page 41).

2 Access basic menu page 7 and perform the following operations.

1)Set MARK/CUE to MARK.

The ClipLink mode indication “CLIP M” appears on the viewfinder screen.

2)Set the cassette name or number if necessary.

For details of menu operations, see “Basic Menu Operations” (page 51).

3 Press the VTR button on the camera head or the lens.

The DSR-1/1P starts recording, and the REC/ TALLY indicator(s) light(s) in the viewfinder.

4 Press the TAKE button when you find a shot where you would like to set a Mark IN point.

TAKE button

The TAKE/TALLY indicator (orange) lights in the viewfinder and “TAKE” appears on the screen.

5 Press the TAKE button when you find a shot where you would like to set a Mark OUT point.

The TAKE/TALLY indicator (orange) goes out in the viewfinder and the “TAKE” disappears from the screen.

At this time, the time code (HH:MM:SS) at the Mark IN/OUT point for scene 001 is recorded to the DSR-1/1P’s internal memory, and then recorded to the cassette memory.

To set/clear NG

If you press the NG button before you set the next Mark IN point, the previous scene will be designated as “NG” (the “NG” display appears in the viewfinder).

Once NG has been set, you can cancel it by pressing the NG button again before you set the next Mark IN point (the “NG” display in the viewfinder disappears).

6 Repeat steps 4 and 5 as needed to record (to cassette memory) time codes at Mark IN/OUT points, scene numbers, and NG designations to the cassette memory.

The scene number is automatically incremented each time you specify a Mark OUT point.

7 To finish shooting, press the VTR button on the camera head or the lens, then press the DSR-1/1P’s STOP button.

This stops the recording operation.

The index pictures of each Mark IN point are recorded onto the tape.

Setting cue points as you shoot

You can make edit search operations easier by specifying cue points to highlight scenes.

1 Perform steps 1 and 2 in “Using the ClipLink Function” (page 41).

2 Access basic menu page 7 and perform the following operations.

1)Set MARK/CUE to CUE.

The ClipLink mode indication “CLIP C” appears on the viewfinder screen.

2)Set the cassette name or number if necessary.

For details of menu operations, see “Basic Menu Operations” (page 51).

3 Press the VTR button on the camera head or the lens.

The DSR-1/1P starts recording, and the REC/ TALLY indicator lights in the viewfinder. Meanwhile, the recording start point (Rec IN) is recorded in the DSR-1/1P’s internal memory.

4 Press the TAKE button when you find a shot where you would like to set a cue point.

The “CUE” indication appears (for about 1 second) on the viewfinder screen. At this point, the time code (HH:MM:SS:frame) at the cue point is recorded into the cassette memory.

5 Repeat step 4 to specify more cue points.

6 To finish shooting, press the VTR button on the camera head or the lens, then press the DSR-1/1P’s STOP button.

This stops recording operation.

Time codes (HH:MM:SS) and scene number (scene 001) are recorded to the cassette memory and the index picture of the Rec IN point is recorded onto the tape.

While Back Space Editing

While the DSR-1/1P is in recording pause mode, press and hold the EDIT SEARCH buttons to activate the search playback function for as long as you hold down the button. You can use the edit search function to find the desired tape location after a recording stop during back space editing or when continuing to record from any other location on the tape.

1 Dock the DSR-1/1P to the camera head and turn on the power, then insert a cassette into the DSR-1/1P.

2 Perform steps 2 to 12 in “Basic Procedure for Shooting” (page 39).
