Selecting An Edit Mode; Assemble Editing; Insert Editing - Sony Betacam SX DNW-A28 Operation Manual

3-1 Selecting an Edit Mode

When you use two DNW-A28/A28P units and an
editing control unit, you can do two types of editing:
assemble editing and insert editing. This section
provides an outline of each type and explains how to
select an edit mode.
Note
Before starting editing operation, set the recorder side
LOCAL/REMOTE switch to LOCAL and the player
side LOCAL/REMOTE switch to REMOTE.

3-1-1 Assemble Editing

In assemble editing, you record video and audio
materials in order from the start of the tape. In addition
to video, audio, CTL and timecode are recorded. If
timecode is already recorded on the tape, the new
timecode is recorded so as to form a continuous
sequence with the existing timecode.
Assemble editing is convenient when you are
recording on a new tape.
Note
Before you begin assemble editing for the first time
with a new tape, video signal such as black signal,
CTL and timecode must be recorded on the tape in
advance of the recorder IN point for a length equal to
or greater than the preroll time.

3-1-2 Insert Editing

In insert editing, you insert video, audio, and timecode
at desired positions on an already recorded tape. You
can insert all three types of data at the same time, or
insert one of the types separately. For audio, you can
select multiple channels from among channels 1 to 4.
Use insert editing when you want to do the following:
• Replace video and audio on unneeded sections of the
tape with other video and audio.
• Insert music and narration into a tape with edited
video.
• Insert video into a tape with edited audio.
• Record new timecode over already recorded
timecode.
Note
Before you use an unrecorded tape in insert editing,
video signal such as black signal, CTL and timecode
must be recorded on all over the tape.
