A full complement of storage/recall
functions
These functions allow you to store and recall menu
settings in either the VTR’s internal memory banks or
IC memory cards by title.
VTR memory banks
These memory banks allow you to store up to eight
pages of VTR settings in addition to the current VTR
settings. Factory settings are also stored here, allowing
the VTR to be reset to these values at any time.
IC memory cards
Each IC memory card can hold the current VTR
settings as well as up to eight pages of settings. A
single IC memory card thus allows you to store and
recall the entire contents of the VTR memory banks.
Title function
This function allows you to add titles when storing data
to the VTR memory bank or IC memory card, thus
facilitating data retrieval and management.
A full range of editing functions
You can connect two DVW-A500/1 or DVW-500/1
series units to enable automatic or manual editing in
either assemble or insert mode. The VTR also features
a full range of editing functions, including preview,
review, preroll, and the setting or changing of edit
points.
