The Dubbing Function - Canon Elura Elura Instruction Manual

The Dubbing Function

You can add special effects to pre-
recorded scenes as well as add varied
scene transitions to the beginning and
end of scenes while recording onto
another tape. The ELURA dubs the
scenes onto a tape in your VCR or
another camcorder, adding your
selected effect. Also, you can add audio
to a tape (audio dubbing, p. 82) or both
audio and visual (A/V insert, p. 80).
You can adjust the starting and ending
points of the scene (the "cut-in" and
"cut-out" points, p. 73). In addition, the
ELURA can record from a VCR, TV or
analog camcorder (analog line-in,
p. 78).
If you connect another Canon digital video camcorder to the camera instead of a
VCR, you can use the Dubbing Function for digital-to-digital dubbing, with
virtually no generation loss in image and sound quality. However, you cannot add
digital effects or set the cut-in and cut-out adjustments using the built-in digital
timer (p. 74).
Preparing for Dubbing
1. Connect the camera to the VCR.
• See the "Connections for Playback on a TV Screen" instructions on page 25.
2. Turn the TV on.
• Be sure to set it to the video channel, or set the TV/Video selector to Video.
3. Turn on the VCR and load a blank cassette.
• See your VCR instruction manual.
4. Open the VCR menu and select \DUB MODE.
• When you select the DUB MODE menu all the displayed information is
also displayed on the screen of the TV connected your VCR. However, this
information will not be recorded onto the tape in the VCR.
