(3) Press the EVENT button to switch to the event creation screen. (4) P ress the IN button and ENTRY button at the same time at the position where you want to start the event (PLAY, JOG, SLOW, SHTL, FF, REW, PREV, NEXT, etc.). (5) Likewise, press the OUT button and ENTRY button at the same time at the position where you want to end the event (PLAY, JOG, SLOW, SHTL, FF, REW, PREV, NEXT, etc.). • If the event following the event where the pointer is positioned has not yet been registered, the automatic increment function will increment the event number by one. You may continue with registration if you wish to do so. • If a registered event applies to multiple clips, the events are registered separately. Working with multiple clips (example) PLAYLIST button EVENT button IN button + ENTRY button OUT button+ ENTRY button EVENT button Flow of operations in creating a play list (registering an event) • Also when registering a clip whose recording extends over a multiple number of P2 cards, the clip will be registered as a separate event where it extends over the P2 cards like the above. • The maximum number of events which can be registered using this unit is 100. Bear in mind that if a multiple number of events are to be registered with a single registration and this number exceeds 100, the events exceeding 100 will not be reflected on the play list. (6) To check registration or end registration, press the EVENT button to return to the play list screen. • Press the PLAY button to start playback at the beginning of the current event. The stop mode is established at an event which has not yet been registered. Notes: •Set the IN and OUT points in such a way that the DURATION of each event is at least 10 frames.

Conversely, if the changed OUT point comes before an already registered In point, the start TC of the clip concerned will be registered at the IN point. • If the event following the event where the pointer is positioned has not yet been registered, the pointer will move to the following event. • Set the IN and OUT points in such a way that the DURATION of each event is at least 10 frames. Otherwise, the events may not be played properly. Selecting and releasing events On the play list screen, move the pointer to the event which is to be selected, and then press the SET button. The display colors of the selected event are reversed. Pressing the SET button again will release the selected event.

Notes: • The format of the edit-copied clip is the same as the format of the events prior to edit copying. • When clips with shot marks added are included in an event, the shot marks will also be added to the edit-copied clips. • During edit copying, the approximate progress of the operation is indicated. • When the beginning of an edit-copied clip is searched, the beginnings of the events prior to edit copying are searched. • During edit copying, information other than the shot mark is not copied. Notes: •Bear in mind that if the event where the pointer is positioned has not been registered, it cannot be played on the play list. • To play the play list, insert all the P2 cards whose events have been registered on the play list. Otherwise, the play list will not be played properly. • When any operation other than playback is performed during playback in the TC replacement mode, the TC will be restored to its original value. • Events registered in a play list are identified by the P2 card serial number, etc. Therefore, clips copied to a different P2 card are not recognized as clips for that play list.
