A full complement of storage/recall
functions
These functions allow you to use titles to store and
recall menu settings in either the VTR’s internal
memory banks or memory cards.
VTR memory banks
These memory banks allow you to store up to eight
pages of VTR settings in addition to the current VTR
settings. Factory settings are also stored here,
allowing the VTR to be reset to these values at any
time.
Memory cards
Each memory card can hold the current VTR settings
as well as up to eight pages of settings. A single
memory card thus allows you to store and recall the
entire contents of the VTR memory banks.
Title function
This function allows you to add titles when storing
data to the VTR memory bank or memory card, thus
facilitating data retrieval and management.
Write protect function
Setting pages stored in VTR memory banks or
memory cards can be write protected on an individual
basis.
A full range of editing functions
Two HDW-F500 units can be connected allowing
automatic or manual assembly and insertion. The
VTR also features a full range of editing functions,
including preview, review, preroll, and the setting or
changing of edit points.
