Chapter 3 Operations for Linear/Nonlinear Editing 3-59 (E)
3-3 Background Operation
(Recording/Playback Using the Spare Port)
When using the MAV-555 in BVE mode, there is one port not used for
editing. For example, when the MAV-555 is in the 2 input/2 output port
configuration, in BVE mode the status of the ports is as follows.
MAV-555 port Status
R1P1 Used as recorder (or player) for editing. Can be operated from a
MAVE-D555 or a BVE-series editor.
P2 Used as a player for editing. By loading a file under the control of the
MAVE-F555, the operation can be controlled from a MAVE-D555 or
BVE-series editor.
R2 Not used for editing, but can be used for recording. However, cannot
be operated from a BVE-series editor.
Thus the spare port on the MAV-555 which is not used for editing is called the
“background port.” By operating it from the MAVE-F555, this background
port can be used for recording or playback.
Note
While recording or playing back with the background port, the file on the
background port cannot be deleted.
3-3-1 MAV-555 Circuit Board Configuration and Background Port
The background port is fixed, but depends on the circuit board configuration of
the MAV-555, as follows. Note that the application of the background port is
determined by the configuration.
Configuration Background port Application
(port name on MAV-555)
1 input / 1 output None
-
2 input / 2 output Port R2 Recording
1 input / 3 output Port P3 Playback
3-3-2 Background Recording
When the background port is a recording port (the MAV-555 R2 port), you
can control the background port from the MAVE-F555 for line input recording
and so on.
Viewing an Input EE Image
Press the BG key of the MAVE-F555 to select the background port. An EE
image appears on the monitor screen connected to the MONITOR OUT
connector of the MAV-555.
