If you record video information at an intermediate
point in an existing recording, at the end of the inserted
recording the picture continuity will be lost.
The CTL signal must be recorded on the tape for at
least the preroll time before the recorder IN point.
If time code is already recorded before the editing start
point, time code will be recorded continuously from
the existing time code.
Insert editing (with PROGRAM as the
recorder)
The material from the player is inserted into existing
recorded material on the recorder. This can be done
with no loss of picture continuity (picture breakup) at
the joins.
• With all-channel insert editing (ASSEMBLE/ALL),
the video and all audio channels are recorded
together.
In this mode, it is also possible to specify the end of
the recorded video as the recorder IN point for the
next event to be recorded so that the next event can
be added directly to the existing video.
When you specify an editing section (event) on the
source tape and carry out editing with PROGRAM
specified as the recorder, the event is recorded on the
hard disk (MASTER). At this time, a margin before
and after the IN and OUT points of the event is added
automatically. The resulting data comprising the
event and the margins is then managed on MASTER
as a file.
