Linear Editing

Overview

You can perform the following types of editing on
recorded clips.
Type of editing Editing target
Insert editing Video tracks in a single clip.
Audio tracks in a single clip. (Split editing
is also possible. But the Out point must
be shared with the video tracks.)
Timecode in a single clip.
Assemble editing Final clip.
a) This function only can be performed when the PDBZ-UPG02
HD1500
Software Upgrade Key is installed.
Notes
• A disc which contains clip lists cannot be used as a disc
for editing. However, it can be used as a playback disc.
• A disc which contains clips in different recording
formats cannot be used as a disc for editing. However, it
can be used as a playback disc if you create a clip list that
contains only clips in one of the recording formats.
• Locked clips cannot be edited.
• Editing across multiple clips is not possible.
• It is not possible to carry out assemble editing other than
on the final clip.
• If there is no space on the disc, in assemble editing it will
not be possible to extend the clip.
• Preread editing is not supported.
• After linear editing, discs in the MPEG HD422 format
cannot be read by the versions 1.2 or earlier of the PDW-
HD1500/700. To play such discs on the PDW-HD1500/
700, upgrade the software to version 1.5 or higher.
• Even after linear editing, the underlying VANC data is
not rewritten. (VANC data cannot be edited.) However,
essence mark data is rewritten (can be edited).
• Linear editing is not possible when the unit is in one of
the following modes. To perform linear editing, exit the
mode.
- Single clip playback mode
- Clip Continuous Rec mode
- Disc Exchange Cache mode
- Live Ligging mode
• The message "N/A Clip!" appears if you attempt to
perform linear editing on discs that contain clips of the
following types. If this occurs, linear editing is not
possible. Create copies (output video and audio signals
from the HDSDI output connectors, or other connectors,
and record them to another disc), and then try again.
