Striping your tapes
Before recording material onto a tape, you should stripe the tape with color
bars and time code. Having continuous and consecutive time code on a
tape lets you perform frame-accurate editing.You may also want to stripe
the tape with a 1-kHz tone to help you check the record level of your VTR.
You can stripe your tapes using the capabilities of your VTR as explained
in your VTR's manual, or you can use the Stripe Tape utility included with
the DigiSuite Configuration Program.
