Notes on Usage in the Editing System

If you use the unit in an editing system, the following
functions are limited.
Notes on general
• When using the RS-422A/232C connectors to
connect this unit to other equipment, you cannot
place the unit as a recorder.
• This unit is not equipped with a synchronization
function. Adjust the edit timing with the editing
controller, and set sync grade to Preroll & Play.
• To make the unit comply with a command sent from
an editing controller to locate a scene, set FF/REW
SPD on the VTR SET menu to SHUTTLEMAX.
• Except when editing with the RS-422A connection, if
the unit has been in the pause mode for the period
specified in the menu, the unit will go into the tape
protection mode.
• When you control this unit from an editing controller
connected to the RS-422A connector:
– if the TIMER selector is set to REPEAT, and the
tape reaches its end point by fast-forwarding using
the FF button, jog dial control via the editing
controller is not available.

Connections for Digital Non-linear Editing

The unit can be connected to an editing controller via
DV jacks to configure a digital non-linear editing
system.
The following figure shows a connection diagram for
non-linear editing system in which this unit serves.
MONITOR MONITOR
DSR-45/45P VIDEO AUDIO
DV
If the editing software used has the capability to
output the time code as well as the video or audio
signals from the digital non-linear editing controller
to this unit, and you intend to record the time code,
set DV IN TC on the TC/UB SET menu of this unit
to EXTERNAL.
For details on the TC/UB SET menu, see "TC/UB
SET menu" on page 78 (GB).
Note
If the unit is connected to a device equipped with a 6-
pin DV jack, when you intend to disconnect or
reconnect the DV cable, turn off the device and pull
out the plug of its power cord from the AC outlet
beforehand. If you connect or disconnect the DV cable
while the device is connected to the AC outlet, high-
voltage current (8 to 40 V) is output from the DV jack
of the device to this unit, which may cause a
malfunction.

Using the Unit as a
Player in an Editing
System
• The TIMER selector setting has higher priority than
the REMOTE/LOCAL switch setting. In an editing
system, set the TIMER selector to OFF.
• Even if the REMOTE/LOCAL switch is set to
REMOTE, the Remote Commander may function
depending on the setting of LOCAL ENBL on the
REMOTE menu. If you want to disable the Remote
Commander, set COMMANDER on the OTHERS
menu to CONTROL S.
Notes on editing
• When you control this unit from an editing controller
connected to the RS-422A/232C connector in the
editing system, editing via a DV connection is less
accurate than editing via an analog connection.
• This unit is not equipped with the first edit function.
• Since this unit does not support CTL, if the time code
recorded on the tape is out of sequence or the tape has
a blank portion between recorded portions, you may
not be able to use it for editing. In such a case, adjust
the editing IN point.
For connection of the editing controller and its peripheral
devices, refer to the instruction manual of the editing
controller and that of the editing software you use.
Edit functions are specified by the editing software. For
details on the editing methods used, refer to the instruction
manual of the editing software.
