Preparations for Editing
In order to operate editing functions correctly, use these tapes for editing as follows:
≥ Tape on which the picture and sound have been recorded properly for about 20 seconds prior to the edit
start point: [Playback unit] [Recording unit]
This VCR first rewinds the tape to the section prior to the edit start point and then commences editing. For this
reason, accurate editing cannot be performed if the tape has been left blank or if the picture and sound have not
been recorded properly for 20 seconds prior to the edit start point.
≥ Tape on which the Time code has been recorded continuously: [Playback unit] [Recording unit]
If the recording is broken up or if the tape is blank in places, the Time code will lack continuity, and editing will be
aborted.
≥ Tape which was recorded in SP mode: [Recording unit]
(This applies to Insert, Audio Dubbing and Audio Mixing only.)
The above types of editing operations cannot be performed on a tape which was recorded in the LP mode.
≥ Tape which was recorded in the 12bit audio mode: [Recording unit]
(This applies to AV Insert, Audio Dubbing and Audio Mixing editing only.)
The above types of editing operations cannot be performed on a tape which was recorded in the 16bit audio mode.
When a tape which was recorded on another video recorder is used for Insert, Audio Dubbing or Audio
Mixing editing operations, the sound may deteriorate and the picture may be disturbed.
If tapes answering to the above description are not available, proceed with dubbing by
following the steps below to create the tapes for editing.
1 Load the original cassette tape into the playback unit and the new cassette tape into the recording VCR (the NV-
DV2000).
2 Connect the playback unit and recording VCR (the NV-DV2000).
For the connection, use the DV cable when the contents of the original cassette are to be copied using their
original digital signals, and use the AV cables when the contents are to be copied using the signals from the video
and audio sockets.
(To dub a 16bit audio tape and make a 12bit audio tape, connect the units using the AV cables, and proceed with
the dubbing.)
3 Set the VCR’s tape speed to SP.
4 Record a blank picture for about 20 seconds.
Set the playback unit to the stop mode, set INPUT SELECT on the recording VCR (the NV-DV2000) to A2, A3 or
A4, and start recording.
5 Switch over the input of the recording VCR (the NV-DV2000).
If the DV cable was used for the connection in step 2, select “DV1” or “DV2”; if the AV cable was used, switch over
to A1, A2, A3 or A4.
6 Press 1 (PLAY) on the playback unit to start playing the original tape.
7 Press ¥ (REC) on the recording VCR (the NV-DV2000) to start dubbing.
Notes:
≥
Digital copying using a DV cable yields a picture quality which undergoes hardly any deterioration at all.
≥ If a digital video tape is dubbed without connecting the DV cable, the original sub code data (Photoshot index
signals, date information, etc.) will not be copied.
≥ The Time code is simultaneously recorded over the subcode of the tape when the tape is recorded. Also recorded
in the sub code are the photoshot index signals, information on the recording date, etc. For further details on the
Time code, see [
R58].
