10-1 Overview of Auto Event Detector Functions
The Auto Event Detector (AED) detects locations
where video signals show large changes (cuts), and
locations where the video suddenly becomes brighter
for a short period (flash).
Detected events can be converted into essence marks
and output. The time code of detected events can be
recorded in a Tele-File label. See Chapter 9 for more information about essence marks,
and see Chapter 7 for more information about the Tele-File
functions.
The Auto Event Detector function works for all tapes
that can be played back by this unit.
Note
Events are output about 3 frames after the actual
locations of the events.
10-2 Event Output and Recording
Outputtting events converted into essence
marks
You can select whether or not to convert into essence
marks and output events detected by the AED during
playback (normal playback, variable speed playback,
and jog playback). Make this selection using setup
menu item 659 AED ESSENCE MARK CONVERT.
See page 12-19 for more information about setup menu item
659.
Recording event marks in a Tele-File label
The time code of cut events detected by the AED can
be written to a Tele-File label.
To write the time code of cut events to a Tele-
File label
With the ENTRY button in the editing control section
held down, press the VAR button in the search control
section. The tape starts to run in the forward direction
at a high speed where noiseless playback is possible,
and events detected by the AED are written to a Tele-
File label as cue data.
To stop the writing to the Tele-File label, press the
STOP button or do something else to change the play
mode.
Notes
• Writing stops automatically if the Tele-File memory
becomes full.
• Make sure that the Tele-File label is writable, for
example by removing write protection if it is applied.
