5-1-1 Shot Mark
Function Features
The shot mark function has the
following features.
(1) Listing shot mark types and
timecodes
There are four types of shot marks:
REC Start (R), Shot Mark 1 (S1), Shot
Mark 2 (S2) and Post Mark (mark
added with this unit).
The unit memorizes the mark type and
the timecode (LTC) for the mark
position for up to 200 marks read from
a tape. Once the marks have been
memorized, they remain in memory
even when the unit is powered off.
You can display the list of shot marks
on the LCD monitor. You can also use
the Shot Mark Operation menu to
create shot mark lists by reading in
only the specified shot mark types,
and delete all or a part of data in a list
when it is no longer needed.
For more information about shot
marks, refer to the Operation Manual
of your Betacam SX camcorder.
(2) Writing and deleting shot
marks
You can use the Shot Mark Operation
menu to specify whether REC Start
marks are recorded. You can write
additional shot marks at any position
on the tape and delete individual
marks that are no longer needed.
(3) Creating virtual shot marks
You can add virtual shot marks to the
shot mark list during playback or
search. (They are not recorded on the
tape.)
(4) Inserting memo marks
You can place a memo mark (#) on
shot marks that you want to
remember.
(5) Sorting shot marks
Each time that marks are read in, they
are sorted and displayed in a list.
When shot data is recorded, you can
sort the marks to display which
cassette they were read from. You can
also sort shot marks by timecode. If
two marks with the identical timecode
are read, one of the marks is deleted.
(6) Cueing up shot marks
You can cue up a shot mark by
selecting it from the shot mark list.
You can also cue up a shot mark
located close to the current position
(index function).
