* Preroll time: Factory preset to 5 seconds.
For more information about preroll times, see the explanation
af Main Menu item 001 on page 3-8.
+* Postroll time: 2 seconds.
In assemble editing, the OUT point of each scene
becomes the IN point of the next scene. But in
order to make a clean transition, the recorder
tape must have CTL signals contimously
recorded in its contro] track before and after the
exact OUT point of each scene (or IN point of
the next scene). In automatic editing mode,
therefore, the PVW-2800 is designed to continue
recording even during the postro]} time; this is
called "over-recording"™.
