6-1 Basic Automatic Editing
Chapter 6 Editing
Between AUDIO IN and AUDIO OUT points
Durations are calculated as follows.
If both IN and OUT points are set, the duration is the
time between the points.
If one of the edit points is not set, the duration is set to
00:00:00.
1
Press the RECORDER or PLAYER button to select
the VTR for which you want to confirm a duration.
The button lights up.
2
Hold down any two IN, OUT, AUDIO IN, or AUDIO
OUT buttons.
The duration between the points corresponding to the
two buttons is displayed. The value can be negative.
6-1-7 Cuing Up and Prerolling
You can preroll the tape to a point prior to the edit start
point, or cue up the tape to any edit point.
Follow the procedure below to cue up or preroll the tape.
1
Press the RECORDER or PLAYER button to select
the VTR which you want to operate.
The button lights up.
2
To cue up the tape to an edit point
Press one of the IN, OUT, AUDIO IN, or AUDIO
OUT button while holding down the PREROLL
button.
The tape moves to the edit point corresponding to the
button, then stops.
To preroll the tape
Press the PREROLL button.
The tape is rewound to a point before the edit start
point by the amount determined by the preroll time
setting.
When the [F1] (TIMER SEL) button in the TC menu is set
to CTL mode, cuing up is slightly slower than in TC mode.
This is to maintain the accuracy of the CTL signals.
You can set up the VTR so that priority is placed on cuing
accuracy or speed. Change the setting of the VTR SETUP
menu item 403 “CUEUP BY TC” and menu item 404
“CUEUP BY CTL”.
Changing the preroll time
The preroll time is factory set to 5 seconds, but can be set
to any time between 0 and 30 seconds, in 1-second steps.
For details, see “4-2-6 Setting the Preroll Time
(PREROLL TIME)” on page 52.
When changing the preroll time, set it so that the recorded
section prior to the edit start point is longer than the preroll
time.
The preroll time used in automatic editing is the preroll
time set for the recorder.
6-1-8 Previewing
