interleave files.)

modes are available for recording.

code data is stored to the Time Stamp (Time Reference) of the BWF file.
You can also synchronize the DV824 to a film machine.

AVID system.

edit a file name, volume name, etc. from a keyboard instead of the DV824
panel keys.

recording. You can locate or skip to a cue point quickly.
