Overview

When you perform automatic editing, the recorder and player VTRs operate as shown in the figure above, to copy the video and audio signals between the IN and OUT points on the player VTR from the IN point on the recorder VTR.

Monitor output

During execution of an automatic edit, as during a preview, on a monitor connected to the recorder VTR you can monitor the following video and audio:

•From the preroll point to the IN point, you can monitor the playback from the recorder VTR.

•From the IN point to the postroll point, you can monitor the playback from the player VTR through the recorder in E-E mode.

The figure illustrates this.

Using a single monitor for video and audio on both the player and recorder VTRs

For efficient editing if only one monitor is available, use the following method:

1 Connect the monitor to the recorder VTR.

2 Set setup menu item 008 to AUTO.

For details on setup menu item 008, see page 63.

3 Press the R/P function button on the P5 EDIT page of the function menu to select PLAYER.

This forces the recorder VTR to E-E mode, in which the player video and audio signals are output to the monitor.
