ENGLISH General and Features

Features (continued) Dial shuttle Shuttle operations enable the tape to be played back with colour images at a speed of up to 32 times the forward and reverse direction.

Time codes This unit comes with a built-in time code generator (TCG)/time code reader (TCR). In addition to the internal time code, an external code input or input signal VITC can be recorded on this VTR as the LTC time code.

Multifunctional interface • Serial digital input/output The component serial interface, a standard feature, allows for interfacing with component signals in serial digital (SMPTE 259M-C/272M-A/EBU Tech.3267-E). • Analogue video input/output Composite and component signal outputs are provided as a standard feature, and component (Y, PB, PR) and composite signal input interfacing is enabled by the use of an analogue video input board (optional accessory). • AES/EBU audio input/output Digital audio input/output connectors are featured. • SDTI input/output (option) Use of the SDTI board (optional accessory) enables interfacing with component signals still in their compressed form. (SMPTE 305M/321M) • 9-pin (RS-422A)/(RS-232C) remote In addition to the standard 9-pin serial remote (RS-422A), RS-232C and 25-pin parallel remote connectors are also featured. The RS-422A connector enables another VTR to be operated in parallel with the unit if a looping connection is used for the two units.

4-channel high-sound-quality digital audio The 4-channel PCM audio allows for not only independent editing and mixing on all four channels. One channel is provided for the analogue CUE track.

ENGLISH Audio split editing

■ Displaying the audio split edit points The edit points are displayed on the front panel as shown below. (The figure shows an audio IN point.)

Operations Video IN point: Press the IN button. Video OUT point: Press the OUT button. Audio IN point: Press the A-IN button. Audio OUT point: Press the A-OUT button.

AIN 00:00:04:07

IN, OUT, AIN (audio IN point), AOUT (audio OUT point) If the editing mode is switched to assemble editing after audio edit points have entered, these points will be deleted.

■ Cueing up the tape to the edit points Cue-up to video IN point: Press the PREROLL button while holding down the IN button. Cue-up to video OUT point: Press the PREROLL button while holding down the OUT button. Cue-up to audio IN point: Press the PREROLL button while holding down the A-IN button. Cue-up to audio OUT point: Press the PREROLL button while holding down the A-OUT button.

■ Duration display The duration can be displayed on the front panel only. Duration from video IN point to OUT point: Press the IN and OUT buttons simultaneously. Duration from audio IN point to OUT point: Press the A-IN and A-OUT buttons simulta- neously.

Match frame processing mechanism When two VTRs are used for audio split editing operations, there will be a total of eight edit points: two pairs of video IN and OUT points, one for the player and the other for the recorder, and two pairs of audio IN and OUT points, one for the player and the other for the recorder. Since the remaining three points are automatically calculated when five of these eight edit points are entered, up to five edit points can be entered.

■ When a VTR without a split editing function is to be used as the player When a VTR which does not have the ability to set the video and audio edit points separately is used as the player, split editing can still be performed by setting the audio In and OUT points using the recorder and setting the data of three points as the video edit points.

If, during audio split editing, only the video OUT point (or audio OUT point) is entered and automatic editing is executed without the audio OUT point (or video OUT point) having been entered, editing will continue until the audio OUT point (or video OUT point) is entered or the STOP button is pressed to suspend operation.

Clearing entered points ■ Clearing all the entered points together • By pressing the RESET button while holding down the SET button, all the button LEDs in which cue points have been entered go off and the entered points are cleared. • The search and entry pointers behave as follows depending on the setup menu No. 131 (PAGE MODE) setting: When “MANU” is set: Both pointers move to the top (CUE 1) of the same page. When “AUTO” is set: Both pointers automatically return to the top (CUE01) of the top page. • These operations are acknowledged regardless of whether search point or entry point display mode is established.

■ Individual entered point resetting • By pressing the RESET button while holding down any of the CUE1 to CUE8 buttons with the point to be cleared, the button LED with the entered point goes off, and the entered point is cleared. • This operation is enabled only in the entry point display mode. (In the search point display mode, entered points are not reset even if this operation is performed.)

• Operation is as follows in the CTL mode. When the RESET button is pressed while the SET (CUE) button is held down, all the cue points which have been entered are reset (one by one) but CTL is not reset. Conversely, when the SET (CUE) button is pressed while the RESET button is held down, all the cue points which have been entered are reset (one by one) and CTL is reset as well. • The entered cue points are not reset even by ejecting the tape. In the CTL mode, only CTL will be reset.

Search operations By pressing the PREROLL button, the tape prerolls to the cue point which flashes in the search point display mode. When no CUE points have been entered, the tape is not prerolled. Further, with entry point display mode, preroll will not be performed even if the PREROLL button is pushed, therefore always check that it is on search point display mode. (The time set by setup menu No. 016 (CU-ROLL TIME), not the normal preroll time setting, serves as the preroll time in this mode.)

As with the conventional LTC (linear time code), the time code can be read even during rewinding or fast forwarding. It can also be read out when the tape has stopped.

VAUX (video auxiliary data) area: This area is to be found in the video data area on the helical track. The additional information relating to the video data is stored here.

The time code and user’s bit are controlled during tape playback by the data which has been recorded in the SBC area. This means that all the data recorded in the SBC area alone is used as the data which is to be indicated on the counter display section in the middle of the front panel or in the superimposed display, or as the data which is to be transmitted to the editing controller or other unit.

ENGLISH Time code/user bit

Time code The time code is used when the time code signal generated by the time code generator (time code signal generator) is to be recorded on the tape, its values are to be read by the time code reader (time code signal reader), and the absolute position of the tape is to be displayed in increments of hours, minutes, seconds and frames.

The time code is written in the sub-code area (data area) of the helical track. This enables insert editing to be conducted independently using the time code alone. In addition, the VTR’s playback speed can be read from the stop mode to slow-motion playback up to high- speed play (approx. 50× normal speed/approx. 100× when using DVCPRO tape).

The time code values are indicated using the display and superimpose functions. TCR 00 : 07 : 04 : 24 Frames Hours Seconds Minutes

User bit “User bit” refers to the 32-bit (8-digit) data frame among the time code signals which has been released to users. It enables operator numbers values to be recorded. The alphanumeric characters which can be used for the user bit are the figures 0 to 9 and the letters A to F.

ENGLISH Audio V Fade Function

When editing tapes, the edit point splicing selection (setup menu No. 311 and 312) information is recorded on the tape. This information is then sensed during playback, and V fade or cut processing is automatically performed for these sections. [However, only when the playback fade selection (No. 727) is AUTO.]

When the edit point splicing selection (setup menu No. 311 and 312) is CUT

Audio signal A Audio signal B

Noise appears at the edit splice.

When the edit point splicing selection (setup menu No. 311 and 312) is FADE

Audio signal A Audio signal B

V fade is performed instantaneously to eliminate the noise.

• When the playback fade selection (No. 727) is CUT, cut processing is performed for all splices. • When the playback fade selection (No. 727) is FADE, V fade processing is performed for all splices.

ENGLISH Video head cleaning

This unit is equipped with an auto head cleaning function which automatically reduces the amount of dirt on the video heads. However, in order to maximize the unit’s reliability, it is recommended that the video heads be cleaned as and when appropriate. For further details on how to actually clean the heads, consult with one of our service companies or with your dealer.

Condensationy

Condensation occurs due to the same principle involved when droplets of water form on a window pane of a heated room. It occurs when the unit or tape is moved between places where the temperature or humidity varies greatly or when, for instance: • It is moved to a very humid place full of steam or a room immediately after it has been heated up. • It is suddenly moved from a cold location to a hot or humid location.

When moving the unit to locations such as these, leave it standing for about 10 minutes rather than switching on the power immediately. If condensation has formed on or in the unit, the AUTO OFF lamp lights and the cassette tape is automatically ejected. Keep the power supplied and simply wait until the AUTO OFF lamp goes off.

Do not use alcohol, benzine, paint thinners or any other solvents. They cause discoloration of the unit’s external parts surfaces and mar the paint finish.

2× speed transmission mode is obtained by setting setup menu item No. 653 (SDTI MODE) to “2X_P.” Insert a DVCPRO50 or DVCPRO tape and press the PLAY button for 2× speed playback with the VTR and 2× speed output of signals to the SDTI.

• Setup menu item No. 653 (SDTI MODE) is only effective when setup menu item No. 652 (SER OUT SEL) is set to “SDTI” or “AUTO”. • When the PLAY button is pressed in 2× speed transmission mode, playback will always be performed at 2× speed and 1× speed playback cannot performed. • In 2× speed transmission mode, the REC INHIBIT lamp will light when a tape is inserted, and recording operations are inhibited. Further, TAPE mode is always established and the EE screen is not output. • When a DV/DVCAM tape is inserted, playback will always be at 1× speed, regardless of the setup menu item No. 653 (SDTI MODE) setting.
