5-1-1 Overview

Editing

 

Editing mode

 

 

With this unit, you can use the following two edit modes for automatic editing.

•Assemble editing

Successive portions of the edited result are recorded on the end of the already completed section.

The CTL signal, video signal, audio signal, and timecode signal are all newly recorded on the tape.

•Insert editing

New material is recorded at an intermediate point of an existing recording.

The CTL signal is not overwritten. The video signal, audio signal, and timecode signal can all be recorded individually.

You can carry out DMC editing in both editing modes. In insert editing, split editing is also possible.

To use CTL to interpolate timecode values When you are using timecode values as edit point addresses, the timecode must be recorded on the tape in correct time sequence (i.e. the sections must be in strictly ascending time order).

If the timecode values are all in correct time sequence, then if there are any discontinuities in the timecode, the unit interpolates them using the CTL count.

To record timecode

For automatic editing, regardless of the settings of F1 (TCG SRC) and F2 (TCG MODE) in function menu page P02: TC, timecode is recorded continuously from the timecode recorded before the edit IN point.

Using setup menu item 610, it is also possible to record timecode according to the settings in the function menu.

Sequence of editing operations

The following flowchart outlines the sequence of operations in automatic editing with two VTRs.

Selecting the editing mode (see page 44)

Setting the recorder and player edit points (see page 44)

Previewing the edit segments (see page 47)

Amending edit points as necessary (see page 46)

Carrying out automatic editing (see page 48)

Reviewing the editing results as necessary (REVIEW) (see page 49)

To use an editing control unit

When controlling this unit with an editing control unit, set an edit delay on the editing control unit so that the cut-in and cut-out commands are output 5 frames before the actual edit point.
