1 Press the port assignment key on the MAVE-F555 to which the RP port was assigned.

2 Press the “+”/”–” keys on the MAVE-F555.

Notes

•A file in the process of being collected through the R2 port can be loaded to the RP port. However, the RP port is automatically set to REC INHIBIT, and the file cannot be saved or edited.

•CTL and TC can be used for the time code reference for the editor. Note that in order to use TC, set Expansion Menu “PB TC REPLACE” (menu 642, 643, 644) to “TM2” in order to output the TM2 data to LTC/VITC. When a MAVE-F555 is connected for nonlinear editing, the operation is carried out with TM2 as shown by the superimposed display. For the above settings, we recommend you select “TM2.”

The editor’s fast edit function cannot be used to collect a file through the RP port.

Linear Editing through the RP Port

In order to perform linear editing through the RP port, load the file to the RP port and then perform insert/assemble editing through the editor. If the MAV-555SS detects the end of editing through the editor, an editing results file is created in the MAV-555SS and is automatically loaded to the RP port. The output picture momentarily goes to black.

Notes

•During insert/assemble intervals in RECORDER material, LTC/VITC are replaced with those of the PLAYER. In order to consecutively replace the time codes from the editing results file, set Expansion menu “PB TC REPLACE” (menu 642, 643, 644) to “TM2” in order to output the TM2 data to LTC/VITC. When a MAVE-F555 is connected for nonlinear editing, the operation is carried out with TM2 as shown by the superimposed display. For the above settings, we recommend you select “TM2.”

•The REMOTE setting on the P side is valid. Select the P1 port first, and then set REMOTE.

1 Press the R1 button or the P1 button to select the RP port.

2 Use the control panel to load a file to the RP port.
