Selecting An Edit Mode; Assemble Editing; Insert Editing - Sony DVCAM DSR-70A Operating Instructions Manual

Selecting an Edit Mode

When you use two DSR-70A/70AP units, you can do
two types of editing: assemble editing and insert
editing. This section provides an outline of each type
and explains how to select an edit mode.
In the subsequent explanation of editing operations in
this chapter, illustrations of a pair of DSR-70A/70AP
units (player and recorder) combined using the
optional BKNW-225 Docking Kit are used (see page
132). In each illustration, as viewed from the front, the
unit on the left is the player and the unit on the right is
the recorder.

Assemble Editing

In assemble editing, you record video and audio
materials in order from the start of the tape. In addition
to video and audio, timecode is also recorded. If
timecode is already recorded on the tape, the new
timecode is recorded so as to form a continuous
sequence with the existing timecode.
Assemble editing is convenient when you are
recording on a new tape.
Note
Before you begin assemble editing for the first time
with a new tape, video signal such as black signal and
timecode must be recorded on the tape in advance of
the recorder IN point for a length equal to or greater
than the preroll time.

Insert Editing

In insert editing, you insert video, audio, and timecode
at desired positions on an already recorded tape. You
can insert all three types of data at the same time, or
insert one of the types separately.
Note
Before you use an unrecorded tape in insert editing,
video signal such as black signal and timecode must be
recorded on all over the tape.
