  • Page 9: General Comments

    The SE-200 handles both synchronous and non-synchronous video, though it does not synchronize videos by itself. Synchronous video is a professional application, requiring a Time Base Corrector (TBC) such as the Datavideo TBC-3000. To learn more about synchronous video, read section 3.0.
  • Page 10: Hook-Up The Se-200 With A Time Base Corrector

    This is not possible with non-synchronous video sources. A Time Base Corrector (TBC)is used to synchronize two non-synchronous video sources, and it is usually a very expensive piece of equipment. Datavideo, however, provides a low cost TBC with high performance (model TBC-3000), which is easy to hook up with the SE-200 for professional video effects like A/B Roll, A/B Dissolve and A/B Animation.
  • Page 11: Select The Source Type

    The SE-200 handles both synchronous and non-synchronous videos. Since your videos are probably "non-synchronous", the SE-200 is pre-set for "non-synchronous videos". (If you are using the Datavideo TBC-3000 to generate synchronized video, see "Synchronous Video" on page 5). Using the up and down Arrow Keys, move the cursor to "Synchronous Video"...

    The GPI (General Purpose Interface) trigger is an advanced feature that allows the Editor to "cue" GPI-compatible external devices (such as the Datavideo SE-300 Digital Video Illustrator) to "play" effects automatically at specified points during an edit sequence. A detailed description of how to do this will follow shortly.
  • Page 27 What is the difference between a "single" and "double" GPI trigger? Any device that has a "single" GPI trigger (eg. the Datavideo SE-300 Digital Video Illustrator), utilizes just one electrical pulse to control the duration of an effect (the single pulse signals both the "in" and "out" points of the effect).
  • Page 28: Select The Infrared Control System

    6.1.7 Select frame calibration--"yes" or "no". To edit a tape, you have to mark the "in" (start) and "out" (end) points of every scene you want to keep. Sometimes, your "mark" can be a few frames off from where the scene actually starts or ends.
  • Page 29 iv. Next, press the "IN" and/or "OUT" keys to search the list of VCRs one at a time. When the name of your VCR appears on screen, press each and every one of the Editor's VCR function keys (PLAY, FF, REW, etc.) to see if they control your recording VCR.
  • Page 30 to flash. iv. Point the recording VCR's remote control close to the Editor's SENSOR (the red window at the lower left corner of the unit) about 10 to 15 cm distance, and press the button on the VCR's remote control (PAUSE, RECORD, or PLAY-as you just determined above) that RELEASES PAUSE.
