LIST button

While the shot marks are being read in, the F FWD or REW button flashes.

The unit searches to the end of the tape, then rewinds automatically.

For the procedure for listing the shot marks read in, see page 6-5.

Note

It is only possible to read in a maximum of 200 shot marks.

When 200 shot marks have been read in, the control panel display shows the message “SHOT LIST FULL”, and the reading stops.

To cancel the message, press one of the tape transport buttons.

To stop reading

Press the STOP button.

Reading shot marks from more than one cassette

After changing the cassettes, carry out the reading operation again.

Data written in the new cassette will be added as long as the total does not exceed 200 shot marks. For example, if 190 shot marks have already read in, only 10 shot marks will be read from the new tape.

In the shot mark list (see page 6-5)the data from different cassettes is separated by a row of dashes.

6-3-2 Writing Shot Marks

Writing recording start marks during recording

In item G03 of the shot mark operation menu (page 6-3), for each of the three recording modes (crash recording, assemble editing, and insert editing), select whether or not to write recording start mark.

When you set a particular mode to “ON”, a recording start mark is written on the tape each time you start recording in that mode.

Note

When using insert mode, press the TC button to turn the indicator on.

Writing shot mark 1, shot mark 2, or post marks

Selecting the type of shot mark written

In item G04 of the shot mark operation menu (page

6-3), select one of shot mark 1, shot mark 2, and post mark.

Note

If any of the settings in item G03 of the shot mark operation menu is set to ON (to write a recording start mark), then the user bits are overwritten with the shot mark data for 20 frames from the start of recording in crash record mode, assemble edit mode, or insert edit mode.
