Editing Operations; Preread Editing - Sony PDW-HD1500 Operation Manual

Editing operations

Notes
• When the In and Out points are not set in the same clip,
insert editing is performed only for the clip containing
the In point.
Clip 1
IN point
Edit execution segment
• If the OUT point is set within the final clip, in assemble
editing the length of the clip does not change.
Carrying out clip editing
To carry out clip editing, use an RM-280 or similar editing
controller.
Requirements for use of editing controllers
Model name Requirement
RM-280 Software version: 2.04 or higher
On this unit, set setup menu item 501
STILL TIMER to 1 min (1 minute) or
longer.
RM-450 Set to player synchronization
For details of how to set edit points and carry out editing,
refer to the operation manual for the editing controller.
Notes
• If an assemble edit command is received while
maintenance menu item M393: AUDIO DSP is set to
"AGC/limiter", the unit creates a new clip and performs
normal recording.
• Compared to linear editing on VTRs, a longer time is
required for processing at the end of an edit (from 4 to 5
seconds are required for completion of the edit after
passing the Out point).
When an insert edit finishes
Do one of the following.
• Wait until the unit enters standby off mode (the time
until the unit enters standby off mode depends on the
setting of setup menu item 501 STILL TIMER).
• Eject the disc.
File system information is written to the disc.
Clip 2
OUT point
Note
If you turn the unit's primary power off before doing one
of the above, file system information is not recorded to the
disc. As a result, no additional edits can be made on the
edited clip, and the audio is set to non audio.
Essence marks recorded by clip editing
"CUT" is recorded as an essence mark at the IN and OUT
points of video insert editing, and at the IN point of
assemble editing. By selecting "CUT" in the essence mark
selection screen, you can search the result of editing.
For details of searching using essence marks, see page 75.

Preread editing

Video and digital audio signals already recorded on the
disc can be used as an edit source for insert editing. This
type of editing is called "preread editing". 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, set "PREREAD" on page P7 OTHER
of the function menu to ON (see page 48).
