PREPARATION OF EDITING TAPE 36 The preparation of the tape for editing differs depending on whether assemble or insert editing is to be performed. The control signal (CTL) must be recorded on the tape before any attempt is made to edit. For assemble editing, the control signal is recorded at the start of the editing tape. (1st edit) !Press the IN button while holding down the ENTRY button to register the IN point of VTR2. The registered position is set 23 seconds before the time which is set by the 1ST EDIT preset value. When the 1ST EDIT (SHIFT+ASMBL) buttons are then pressed, recording commences, recording proceeds up to a point 3 seconds beyond the IN point, and the tape is automatically rewound to the 0-second point where it stops. When the first edit function is used, black burst signals are always recorded as the video signals and the sound is muted. For insert editing, the control signal must be recorded from the start to the end of the editing tape. ¥ If the T-END setting is selected for set-up menu item No. 311 (1ST EDIT DUR), 1ST EDIT operation continues to the end of the tape or until the ALL STOP button is pressed. (Black burst and time code signals are recorded.) To record the time code together with the video signals onto a new tape: !Insert the tape into the recorder. @While holding down the SHIFT button, press the MENU button to establish the set-up mode. 1) Select set-up item No.507 (TC MODE), and set it to P-REC (0000). 2) Select set-up item No.508 (TC PRESET), and set the default value of the time code.* 3) Select set-up item No.506 (DF MODE), and set the drop frame or non-frame mode. *To reset the time code to Ò0,Ó press the RESET button while pressing the SHIFT button. #Record the time code. When recording the time code onto a new tape, press the PLAY button while holding down the recorderÕs REC button. $Press the ALL STOP button to stop the recording. 1ST EDIT IN point –23sec. pointDirection of tape travel Tape beginningTime code recording +3 sec. point 0 sec. point
BASIC FLOW OF EDITING OPERATIONS 37 Editing operations basically involve the following steps. Simple operation mode Standard mode (1st edit)Prepare the editing tape in the recorder. 1. Edit mode selectionSelect assemble or insert editing. 2. Edit point registrationSet the edit IN and OUT points for the player and recorder. The points can be checked on the edit data setting display. Repeat steps 1 to 2 for a multiple number of events. (Preview)Before recording signals on the tape, conduct a rehearsal and check what is to be edited. 3. Execution of editingProceed with the automatic editing of one event or with automatic continuous editing. (Review)After editing, play back and check what was edited. Basic flow of editing operations
TYPES OF EDIT MODES AND ILLUSTRATIONS 38 nAssemble edit mode Signals are recorded continuously and successively from the start of usually a new tape (used tapes can also be used). This is the mode commonly used to make master tapes. ¥ In order to maintain the continuity of the time codes on the tape in the recorder, set set-up menu item No. 507 (TC MODE) to ÒI-REGÓ. When the setup menu No.507 is set to ÒP-RECÓ or ÒP-FREEÓ, set set-up menu item No. 510 (REGEN MODE) to ÒAS&INÓ or ÒASSEM.Ó nInsert edit mode A different source is recorded on part of a pre-recorded tape. Four types of signalsÑV (video), A1 (audio CH1), A2 (audio CH2) and TC (time code)Ñcan be recorded separately or altogeth- er. The signals must be recorded on the recorderÕs tape from beginning to end. ¥ If it is necessary to maintain the continuity of the time codes on the tape in the recorder during TC insertion, set set-up menu item No. 507 (TC MODE) to ÒI-REGÓ. When the setup menu No.507 is set to ÒP-RECÓ or ÒP-FREEÓ, set set-up menu item No. 510 (REGEN MODE) to ÒAS&INÓ or ÒINSRT.Ó nSplit editing Split editing involves a technique which offsets the audio edit point from the video edit point or vice versa.

CUT EDITING PROCEDURE 39 1. Edit mode selection qFor assemble editing:Press the assemble (ASMBL) button. Record the video, audio (CH1, CH2) and time code simultane- ously. wFor insert editing:Press the insert buttons (V, A1, A2 and TC). These buttons correspond respectively to the video and audio signals. Press all the buttons for the signals which are to be edited. eTo clear a mode, press the same button again. Cut editing is a way of editing which uses a method to switch in an instant from one screen to another. * With insert editing, the images and sound can be edited separately. Recorer’s image Player’s image Recorer’s image Cut OUT Cut IN Playback in reverse direction: (lamp lights)Playback in forward direction: (lamp lights) Search dial ¥ Turning the dial without pressing it establishes the shuttle mode: depending on the direction in which the dial is turned and the angle to which it has been turned, a tape can be played back across a range from 16 or 32 times faster than the normal tape speed in the forward direction to 16 or 32 times faster than the normal tape speed in the reverse direction (according to the set-up menu item No.100 setting). A still picture is produced at the center click-stop posi- tion (natural stop position). ¥ Pushing the dial in and turning it establishes the jog mode: depending on the direction in which the dial is turned and the speed at which it is turned, a tape can be played back across a range from 1 times faster than the normal tape speed in the forward direction to 3 times faster than the normal tape speed in the reverse direction. A still picture is produced when the dial is no longer turned. - --- - -- - -- - - - - -- - -- - -- - - - EJECT VTR1 POWER RECCH1RESET RECDIAGREMOTE EXT VTRLOCAL-VTR1 VTR2CONTROLON OFFREC INHIBITOFFON CH2 PB AUDIO LEVELREW FFSTOPSTB OFFTRACKPLAY STILL 1ST EDIT BS EVENTSPLIT ASMBL IN OUT VTR1 VTR2 VTR1 VTR2 PREROLLSYNCHRO7 5 3CF ON OFFCH1 MIX CH2V1 V1•2 V2SWAP NORM MIXAUDIO MONITORSPEAKER/ HEADPHONESAUDIO SWAP DUMP LOADEDL CLEARFS RECALL LAST EDIT VA1A2TC PLAY IN OUTGO TO ENTRY / SHIFT EDIT MODE COUNTERCTLTC UBVTR1 EJECT VTR2 RESET RECSTORE STOPSTB OFF MENUEDIT STILLREWFF VTR2 RECCH1 CH2 OPERATION MODEVTR2 AUDIO INPUT SELECTEDITINTEXTSEPARATECH1 CH2VTR1EXT PBAUDIO LEVEL PREVIEWREVIEW MULTIAUTO EDITALL STOP Cut editing procedure
CUT EDITING PROCEDURE 40 2. Edit point registration Search the scene to be edited using the search dial, and register the edit IN and OUT points using the IN and OUT buttons. !Play back the tape on the VTR (player or recorder) which is to be used to setting the edit points, and search the desired scene. @While holding down the ENTRY button at the desired scene, press the IN or OUT button corresponding to the edit point which is to be set. Depending on the edit point now set, the IN or OUT LED lights on the time counter display of the player or recorder. At the same time, if an edit point is not registered, the corresponding LED flashes. #Repeat steps 1 and 2 until three of the four IN and OUT points (two for the player and two for the recorder) have been set. The edit point registration is completed once the playerÕs IN and OUT points and the recorderÕs IN point are set. The recorderÕs OUT point is automatically calculated when editing is executed. To produce a still picture of the desired scene: During normal playback:press the STILL button. During playback in the shuttle mode,return the search dial to the center clickstop position. During playback in the jog mode,stop turning the search dial. When still picture playback continues beyond a specific period of time: When the time set in set-up menu item No.400 (STILL TIMER) has elapsed, operation is automatically transferred to the tape protection mode. - --- - -- - -- - - - - -- - -- - -- - - - EJECT VTR1 POWER RECCH1RESET RECDIAGREMOTE EXT VTRLOCAL-VTR1 VTR2CONTROLON OFFREC INHIBITOFFON CH2 PB AUDIO LEVELREW FFSTOPSTB OFFTRACKPLAY STILL 1ST EDIT BS EVENTSPLIT ASMBL IN OUT VTR1 VTR2 VTR1 VTR2 PREROLLSYNCHRO7 5 3CF ON OFFCH1 MIX CH2V1 V1•2 V2SWAP NORM MIXAUDIO MONITORSPEAKER/ HEADPHONESAUDIO SWAP DUMP LOADEDL CLEARFS RECALL LAST EDIT VA1A2TC PLAY IN OUTGO TO ENTRY / SHIFT EDIT MODE COUNTERCTLTC UBVTR1 EJECT VTR2 RESET RECSTORE STOPSTB OFF MENUEDIT STILLREWFF VTR2 RECCH1 CH2 OPERATION MODEVTR2 AUDIO INPUT SELECTEDITINTEXTSEPARATECH1 CH2VTR1EXT PBAUDIO LEVEL PREVIEWREVIEW MULTIAUTO EDITALL STOP
