Chapter 7 Menu System
Menu items in the 700s, relating to video control (Continued)
Settings
Select the horizontal blanking width of a video output signal.
NARROW : Digital blanking (narrow)
WIDE: Analog blanking (wide)
When analog blanking is selected, the horizontal blanking width complies with
RS170A, and normally the blanking is widened and the image becomes narrower.
It is recommended to select NARROW at the editing stage, then later, for
broadcast transmission to select WIDE, to output a signal conforming to the
standard.
Set the output phase for the video playback signal when any of the ASSEMBLE,
VIDEO, and AUDIO CH1 to CH4 buttons is lit.
INT : The video playback signal output phase is the same as the output phase in
the EE mode. Use this setting when editing with a single VTR, or when
previewing while watching the VTR output signal.
EXT: The video playback signal output phase is the same as the phase of an
input video signal or external reference signal.
Note
Whichever setting is used, the correct editing results will be obtained. When,
however, you are using an external switcher to switch the video output signal
from this unit for the purposes of preview, select EXT. This will prevent any
image shifts at editing IN and OUT points.
Set the subcarrier H phase.
Default value: 800H
Menu items in the 800s, relating to audio control
Settings
Set the digital audio muting conditions during shuttle playback.
OFF : Not muted.
CUEUP: Muted during cue-up or preroll operations.
FULL: Muted in shuttle mode.
Specify the time for cross-fade or fade in/out editing of audio signals.
5 ms, 10 ms , 15 ms, 20 ms, 25 ms
Note
The cross-fade or fade in/out operation means that the recording is rewritten from
the OUT point for the length specified by this setting. Even at the minimum 5 ms
setting, a length of recording corresponding to a field is rewritten.
To avoid rewriting, set item 317 AUDIO EDIT MODE to "CUT", but in this case
there is an audio discontinuity at the edit point. There is no effect on the recorded
video signal.
Select the audio mixing method used for digital audio signals supplied to the
MONITOR OUTPUT connector.
ADD: Simple addition.
RMS : Root-mean-square.
AVE: Simple average.
Select the mode in which digital audio levels are displayed.
PEAK0 : Displays the audio level as negative values with the maximum level set
to 0 dB.
REF 0: Displays the audio level as positive and negative values with the
reference level set to 0 dB.
