To set the action for a rewind operation
On the VTR/disk recorder/Extended VTR timeline, when
the [REWIND] button in the keyframe control block is
pressed the action set for the first keyframe is not executed;
when the [RUN] button is pressed, then the first keyframe
action is executed.
To execute an action when the [REWIND] button is
pressed, it is necessary to set this action (Rewind Action).
To carry out this setting, in the Device >DDR/VTR
>Timeline menu, press [Rewind Action] to recall the
Rewind Action menu. In this setting screen, use the same
setting method as in the screen for setting an action on the
VTR/disk recorder timeline.
Alternatively, you can select the reverse arrangement,
whereby when the [REWIND] button is pressed, this
executes the action set for the first keyframe, and when the
[RUN] button is pressed the first keyframe action is not
executed. In this case, the Rewind Action setting is still
valid.
For details of the setting, see "Setting the First Keyframe
When a Rewind is Executed" (page 519).
