Playback - Sony PDW-HD1500 Operation Manual

Notes
• In preread editing, an I/O feedback loop may occur if an
input video signal is used as the reference signal. To
prevent this, set OUT REF on page P6 REF of the
function menu to "REF" (see page 47). This selects use
of an external reference signal during preread editing.
• When preread mode is selected, no E-E video is output,
regardless of the editing mode of this unit. This is to
prevent feedback due to loop connections.
However, feedback can occur when E-E video is output
after preread editing ends and PREREAD is set to
"OFF", if input and output are still connected on the
same channel.
To prevent feedback, select PB (playback) signals for all
video and audio signals and all editing modes before
starting preread editing. Do this by selecting "PB" in
step 1 of the following procedure.
1
Set PB/EE on the HOME page of the function menu to
"PB".
2
Set PREREAD on page P7 OTHER of the function
menu to "ON" (see page 48).
3
Make the necessary connections for preread editing.
4
After selecting the desired insert editing mode, carry
out preread editing.
5
When preread editing is completed, disconnect the
connections.
6
Set PREREAD on page P7 OTHER of the function
menu to "OFF".
7
Check that no loop connection exists.
