EDIT DATA DUMPING TO/LOADING FROM AN EXTERNAL DEVICE 54 The edit data entered in the EDL memory can be transmitted to an external source via the RS-232C connector. For instance, operation and control can be exercised in a wide range of systems as shown below by uploading data to a computer or down- loading data from a computer. 1) Off-line editing is possible, and edit data can be used by an on-line system. 2) Edit data can be stored on a hard disk or floppy disk. 3) The edit data can be checked on the computer CRT screen or in printout form. EDL dumping and loading operations cannot be performed while the CONTROL switch is at the REMOTE or EXT VTR setting. Steps taken for dumping !Set up the computer or other external unit to receive the data. @Press the DUMP (SHIFT + A1) button. The A1 button lamp now flashes, and the event number sent is displayed in the counter area. The format set in the EDL FORMAT set-up item is selected as the output format. #The operation is completed when all the edit data in the EDL memory has been transferred. To stop the transfer at any time, press the ALL STOP button. Steps taken for loading !Press the LOAD (SHIFT + A2) button. The A2 button lamp now flashes. @The data is sent from the computer or other external unit. The format in which the data is sent must be the format which was set for set-up menu item No.208 (EDL FORMAT). The event number being received is displayed in the counter area. #The operation is completed when the computer stops transmitting the data or when the EDL memory is full. To stop the transfer at any time, press the ALL STOP button. 1. External device settings are required for dumping or loading data. 2. Unless the data is either the corrected or edited EDL data or in a format which is supported by this unit, not only will it be impossible for the data to be received but the unit may malfunction as well. For this reason, users without a detailed knowl- edge of personal computers or EDL data should refrain from conducting these operations. - --- - -- - -- - - - - -- - -- - -- - - -VTR1POWERRECCH1RESETRECDIAGREMOTEEXT 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 SWAPDUMP LOADEDL CLEARFS RECALL LAST EDIT VA1A2TC PLAY IN OUTGO TO ENTRY / SHIFT EDIT MODE COUNTERCTLTC UBVTR1 VTR2 RESET RECSTORE STOPSTB OFF MENUEDITSTILLREWFF VTR2 RECCH1 CH2 OPERATION MODEVTR2 AUDIO INPUT SELECTEDITINTEXTSEPARATECH1 CH2VTR1EXT PBAUDIO LEVEL PREVIEWREVIEW MULTIAUTO EDITALL STOP - --- - -- - -- - - - - -- - -- - -- - - -VTR1POWERRECCH1RESETRECDIAGREMOTEEXT 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 SWAPDUMP LOADEDL CLEARFS RECALL LAST EDIT VA1A2TC PLAY IN OUTGO TO ENTRY / SHIFT EDIT MODE COUNTERCTLTC UBVTR1 VTR2 RESET RECSTORE STOPSTB OFF MENUEDITSTILLREWFF VTR2 RECCH1 CH2 OPERATION MODEVTR2 AUDIO INPUT SELECTEDITINTEXTSEPARATECH1 CH2VTR1EXT PBAUDIO LEVEL PREVIEWREVIEW MULTIAUTO EDITALL STOP DUMP LOAD ComputerStore Use Hard disk or floppy disk RS-232C AJ-LT85

Concerning the EDL format
Two data formats are available, the AG-A850 format and the CMX340 format, for transferring edit data (EDL) to a personal com-
puter or other external device.
1) AG-A850: All the edit data in the EDL memory is sent. This means that the edit data can be perfectly restored when the data
which has been output by this unit is loaded again into this unit.
However, the data must be received with EDL AUTO CLR ON selected when events prepared with EDL AUTO CLR ON
selected are to be loaded.
Since no distinction is made in the EDL format between the VIDEO reference and AUDIO reference, the VIDEO reference
should normally be used for the split edit data.
The following restrictions apply when data edited by the AG-A850 is input to this unit.

Time codes The time code signals generated by the TCG (time code generator) are recorded on the tape and read by the TCR (time code reader). The time codes indicate the tapeÕs absolute value in increments of hours, minutes and seconds. TCR 00 : 07 : 04 : 24 Hours Minutes Seconds Frames User bit The user bit is a 32-bit (8-digit) information frame contained in the time code signals which is made available to the user. The figures 0 to 9 and the letters ABCDEF can be used for this bit. TIME CODES (TC) and USER BITS (UB) 59 Time codes (TC) and User bits (UB) Time code generator (TCG) and user bit generator (UBG) modes The time code generator (TCG) and user bit generator (UBG) have two main modes: PRESET and REGEN. Within the PRESET mode, where is a REC RUN mode and a FREE RUN mode. Within the REGEN mode, where is an internal regeneration mode and four external regeneration modes. Details of the various modes are provided below. TCG UBG Preset (PRESET) modesREC RUN (P-REC) mode Regeneration (REGEN) modes FREE RUN (P-FREE) mode Internal regeneration (I-REG) mode External regeneration (E-VITC) mode External regeneration (VTR1TC) mode (VTR2 only) External regeneration (VTR1TCG) mode (VTR2 only) External regeneration (E-LTC) mode 5 modes 2 modes (TCG) TCG advance takes place only during TC recording. (UBG)UBG values are saved. (TCG)Regeneration always takes place using the VTR1 TCG. (UBG)Regeneration always takes place using the VTR1 UBG. (TCG)TCG advance takes place always. (UBG)UBG values are saved. (TCG)In the PLAY mode, values are preset (regenerated) to the TC values on the tape. In modes other than PLAY, TCG advance takes place always. (UBG)In the PLAY mode, values are regenerated to the UB values on the tape. In modes other than PLAY, UBG values are saved. (TCG)Regeneration takes place if time codes are superimposed on the VIDEO IN signal. TCG advance takes place always if no time codes are superimposed on the VIDEO IN signal. (UBG)Regeneration takes place if user bits are superimposed on the VIDEO IN signal. UBG values are saved if no user bits are superimposed on the VIDEO IN signal. (TCG)If time codes can be read from the tape in VTR1, regeneration takes place using those TC values. TCG advance takes place always if no time codes can be read from the tape in VTR1. (UBG)If user bits can be read from the tape in VTR1, regeneration takes place using those UB values. UBG values are saved if no user bits can be read from the tape in VTR1. (TCG)Regeneration occurs when the TC signal is input to the TC input connector. The TCG keeps advancing all the time when the TC signal is not input to the TC input connector. (UBG) Regeneration occurs when the UB signal is input to the TC input connector. The UBG sequence is maintained when the UB signal is not input to the TC input connector.
Time code generator (TCG) and user bit generator (UBG) mode setting The set-up menu is used to make time code generator (TCG) and user bit generator (UBG) settings. For details on using the set-up menu, please refer to the TIME CODE setting (see pages 30 and 31) item numbers 503, 507, and 510. Also, the OPERATION MODE switch (see CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS on page 8), which is one of the switches on the front keyboard, is used to make settings. Setting the mode of the time code generator (TCG) and user bit generator (UBG) !Set the VTR to the stop mode. @Switch to the set-up menu. #Set item No. 503 (TGN REGEN), item No. 507 (TC MODE), and item No. 510 (REGEN MODE) to match the desired mode. Use the OPERATION MODE switch to make selections. (Refer to the TCG and UBG Mode Table on the following page for more information on setting items.) $For the TCG mode, select either drop frame (DF) mode or non-drop frame (NDF) mode under item No. 506 (DF MODE). %To use TCG CF (color framing) flags, set item No. 505 (TCG CF FLAG) to ON (0001). ^To use TCG special bit flags, set item No. 504 (BINARY GP). The settings for item No. 505 (TCG CF FLAG), item No. 504 (BINARY GP), and item No. 506 (DF MODE) are valid only if the P- REC mode or P- FREE mode (which are listed in the TCG and UBG Mode Table on the following page) have been selected, or during first edit operation. Presetting the time code generator (TCG) and user bit generator (UBG) values !Set the VTR to the stop mode. @Switch to the set-up menu. #Set item No. 508 (TC PRESET) and item No. 509 (UB PRESET) to the desired values. If the P-REC mode or P-FREE mode (which are listed in the TCG and UBG Mode Table on the following page) have been selected, settings can be made for item No. 508 (TC PRESET) and item No. 509 (UB PRESET). If the unit is controlled via the external REMOTE terminal (9-pin) in order to perform editing, editing may take place in the MAN- UAL EDIT mode rather than the AUTO EDIT mode, depending on the controller being used. Therefore, item No. 507 (TC MODE) should be set to P-FREE (0001). TIME CODES (TC) and USER BITS (UB) 60
