Chapter 4 Editing
Insert edit mode
In insert editing, you insert video, audio, and time code at desired positions
on an already recorded tape. You can insert all three types of data at the
same time or insert one of the types separately.
Note
Before you use an unrecorded tape in insert editing, a video signal, e.g. a
black signal, and time code must be recorded on all over the tape.
You can carry out DMC editing in both edit modes. In insert editing, split
editing is also possible.
To record a video signal and time code on an unrecorded tape
When recording a video signal and time code on an unrecorded tape to use
it as a recording tape in insert editing, you can use a test signal generated
by the internal signal generator of the unit. An example procedure follows.
1
Insert an unrecorded cassette in the unit and rewind it.
2
Using the VIDEO IN button in the input selection section (see page
14), select the video test signal (SG) as the input video signal.
