• A BVE-2000 Ver. 2.24 or later is recommended as the editor.
In this case, set PREVIEW MODE to FULL, and use a monitor
connected to the DFS-700 PROGRAM OUT.
If using a BVE-2000 earlier than Ver. 2.24 or another editor, previewing
is not possible.
• It is not possible to set the DFS-700 preread mode from the editor.
It must be set manually.
For an editor other than the BVE-2000, it is not possible to set the preread
mode for the VTR. It must be set manually.
• During preread editing, the effect patterns which can be used are
restricted to those for which a title can be used automatically.
• During normal editing the video output is delayed by one frame, but
during preread editing, the video selected on the background bus only is
delayed by 4H.
When carrying out R to P or P to R editing make sure that the background
bus signal is available to the R.
• To obtain the DFS-700/700P program output, use digital PGM OUT or
analog component PGM OUT connectors on the DFS-700/700P
processor unit.

set to ON, a "P" appears at the beginning of line 2 of the menu display,
indicating preread mode. (Except during preread editing, if PRE_RD is set
to ON the edit points will be shifted, so be sure to set it to OFF. It is not
possible to make this setting from the editor.)
