5-3-3 Standalone Editing

This refers to editing using as the player an external
device which cannot be controlled remotely through
the REMOTE1-IN(9P) connector. For example, you
can record a color bar signal from a signal generator in
the joints between the scenes of an already completed
tape.
Carrying out standalone editing
First use the VIDEO INPUT SELECT switch to select
the signal being generated by the signal generator
connected to the unit, then with both the PLAYER
button and RECORDER button off, set the IN point.
The AUTO EDIT button flashes, and it is now possible
to carry out automatic editing.
If necessary, you can also first set the OUT point.

5-3-4 Manual Editing

Use the following procedure to carry out manual
editing.
1
Press the RECORDER button, turning the
indicator on.
2
Use the search dial in jog or shuttle mode to find
the editing start point (the recorder IN point), and
stop the tape just before this point.
Note
If the recorder is in stop mode, then when editing
starts this section of the video will break up.
3
Select the editing mode.
4
Press the PLAY button.
The recorder begins playback.
Note
It takes about two seconds until the playback video
stabilizes. For this reason, start the playback from
before the segment of video you wish to use.
5
At the editing start point (the recorder IN point),
press the EDIT button and PLAY button
simultaneously.
Editing starts.
6
At the editing end point (the recorder OUT point),
press the PLAY button.
Editing ends, and the recorder continues with
playback.
7
Press the STOP button to stop the recorder
playback.

5-3-5 Preread Editing

Video and digital audio signals already recorded on the
tape can be used as an edit source for insert editing.
This type of editing is called "preread editing", as the
VTR uses the preread heads to read the signals in
advance from the tape.
The signals read out can be send to a mixer for mixing,
and can be recorded either on the original channels or
on other digital audio channels.
For preread editing, press the PREREAD button,
turning the indicator on.
