NFORMATION
Using an internal Edit Decision List (EDL), the Pioneer PRV-LX1 DVD Recorder can control
an external VTR via RS-422A or IEEE-1394 to perform batch recording from tape to disc.
This function, called Auto Capture, can be accessed through the PRV-LX1 Function Menu.
While the command structure and format of the EDL is unique to Pioneer, an EDL file can
be created from a simple text file that is saved with an *.EDL extension. The EDL file can
then be imported into the PRV-LX1 EDL library.
This document provides guidelines for building your own edit decision lists. The next
section shows an example of an EDL with a description of each line. The last section
discusses each segment of an EDL line entry. Please read this document completely
before creating EDLs for the Pioneer PRV-LX1.
1.1 Definition of an Edit Decision List (EDL)
An EDL for the PRV-LX1 can consist of one ore more of the following functions:
• Time code edit points
Structured compilation of time code information that defines each edited video
sequence, indicates the specific In and Out points
• Chapter point insertions
Inserting DVD chapter marker flags at specified points in the video
• Wait instructions
For changing source tapes
• Initialize a DVD disc
Initialization prepares a DVD-RW disc for recording
• Record to a DVD disc
EDL recording commands allow chapter insertions at fixed timecode locations
• Finalize a DVD disc
Finalizing the media creates a playable DVD Video disc
1.2 Creating An EDL for the PRV-LX1
The EDL file can be created with a word processing application. Save the
document as a text file (.txt) then change the file extension to .EDL so that the
PRV-LX1 recognizes the file. For additional information about importing EDL files,
please refer to the section entitled, Importing Image Data, Edit Lists in the
PRV-LX1 Operating Instructions.
