5-1 Overview

5-2 Automatic Editing

When an HDW-S280 and editor or two HDW-S280 units and an editor are used in combination, you can perform assemble editing.

Note

Press the REMOTE button on the recorder VTR so that it is not lit and the REMOTE button on the player VTR so that it is lit beforehand.

5-1-1 Assemble Editing

In assemble editing, you record video and audio materials in order from the start of the tape. In addition to video, audio, CTL and timecodes are recorded. If a timecode is already recorded on the tape, the new timecode is recorded so as to form a continuous sequence with the existing timecode. Assemble editing is convenient when you are recording on a new tape.

Note

Before you begin assemble editing for the first time with a new tape, a video signal such as black signal, CTL, and a timecode must be recorded on the tape in advance of the recorder IN point for a length equal to or greater than the preroll time.

Selecting assemble mode

Set ASSEMBLE on the HOME page of the function menu to ON.

Note

For assemble editing, set TCR on the P4 TC page of the function menu to LTC or AUTO.

For details on the function menu, see “3-7 Basic Operations of the Function Menu” on page 29.

This section describes how to perform automatic editing with this unit and another VTR connected via the REMOTE 9P connector.
