Ð 42 Ð Audio split editing nDisplaying the audio split edit points The edit points are displayed on the front panel as shown below. (The figure shows an audio IN point.) Operations Video IN point: Press the IN button. Video OUT point: Press the OUT button. Audio IN point: Press the A-IN button. Audio OUT point: Press the A-OUT button. AIN 00:00:04:07 IN, OUT, AIN (audio IN point), AOUT (audio OUT point) Note: If the editing mode is switched to assemble editing after audio edit points have entered, these points will be deleted. nCueing up the tape to the edit points Cue-up to video IN point: Press the PREROLL button while holding down the IN button. Cue-up to video OUT point: Press the PREROLL button while holding down the OUT button. Cue-up to audio IN point: Press the PREROLL button while holding down the A-IN button. Cue-up to audio OUT point: Press the PREROLL button while holding down the A-OUT button. nDuration display The duration can be displayed on the front panel only. Duration from video IN point to OUT point: Press the IN and OUT buttons simultaneously. Duration from audio IN point to OUT point: Press the A-IN and A-OUT buttons simultaneously. Match frame processing mechanism When two VTRs are used for audio split editing operations, there will be a total of eight edit points: two pairs of video IN and OUT points, one for the player and the other for the recorder, and two pairs of audio IN and OUT points, one for the player and the other for the recorder. Since the remaining three points are automatically calculated when five of these eight edit points are entered, up to five edit points can be entered. nWhen a VTR without a split editing function is to be used as the player When a VTR which does not have the ability to set the video and audio edit points separately is used as the player, split editing can still be performed by setting the audio In and OUT points using the recorder and setting the data of three points as the video edit points. Note: If, during audio split editing, only the video OUT point (or audio OUT point) is entered and automatic editing is executed without the audio OUT point (or video OUT point) having been entered, editing will continue until the audio OUT point (or video OUT point) is entered or the STOP button is pressed to suspend operation.
Ð 43 Ð Video output (encoder output) signal adjustments After this system has been connected, the video output signal (ENCODER OUT) must be adjusted if AB roll editing (editing using two source machines) using an editor, for instance, is to be error-free and accurate. (This adjustment must be repeated when one of the connect- ing cables has been replaced and whenever the connections are changed.) The adjustment procedure using this unit is outlined below. 1Check the connections. (see page 22.) 2Set setup menu No. 00 (ENCODER SEL) to ÒLOCALÓ. REMOTE:For adjusting the video output signals using an external encoder remote controller. LOCAL:For adjusting the video output signals using this unit. 3Adjust the source machine independently. 3-1When using the preset values Set the PRESET/MANUAL switches of the VIDEO OUT LEVEL, CHROMA LEVEL, SETUP and HUE controls to PRESET. 3-2When adjusting the video output signals without using the preset values 1Play back a cassette tape on which standard color bar signals have been recorded. 2Adjust the controls in such a way that the waveforms on the waveform monitor (WFM) and vectorscope (VSC) resemble those shown in the figures below. A Video level Adjust this level to 100IRE. B Chroma level and hue Adjust the two controls in such a way that the light spot of the vector wave- forms comes inside the rectangular grid mark. C Setup level Adjust the control to eliminate deviation. n Waveform on WFMn Waveform on VSC B C A 4Perform the same adjustments on the source machine connected to the unit.

The setting menus appear on the TV monitor when the TV monitor and VIDEO OUT 3 connector in the unitÕs connector area are hooked up. Changing the settings 1Press the MENU button. The setup menu appears on the TV monitor and setup menu No. appears on the counter display. (If the setup has already been performed, the screen showing the changes made last will appear.) 2Rotate the search dial and select the item to be set. The cursor (*) on the menu screen moves and the item No. on the display flashes. ¥When the dial is rotated clockwise, the item No. is incremented from 001®002® 003®004 and so on; when it is rotated counterclockwise, the item No. is decremented. ¥The search dial should be used in jog mode if at all possible. ¥Hold down the PLAY button and press the FF (next major item) or REW (previous major item) buttons to select the menu by major item. 3While holding down the search button, rotate the search dial at the position where the change is to be made. The setting No. now flashes. When the dial is rotated clockwise, the setting value is incremented; when it is rotated counterclockwise, it is decremented. 4Release the search button when the setting is completed. The setting value on the menu screen and display flashes. ¥During the SHTL mode, the item moves if the search dial is not at the STILL position. 5Repeat steps 2 through 4 to change another item. 6Press the SET button. The changes are now stored in the memory. ¥To return the items to the settings established before the changes were made, press the MENU button. To return the setup settings to the factory (default) settings, press the RESET button while the menu is displayed. The following message will now appear: SETUP-MENU INIT SET YES/NO When the PLAY button is pressed, the factory settings are restored. ¥When the RESET button is pressed to return to the factory settings, the factory settings are restored only for the user file currently being used and other user files are not affected. ¥The changed SYSTEM menu contents are recorded even if the MENU button is pressed.
