audio crossfade. The endpoint of the recording will become the new
end of clip and all later material of the clip recorded previously will be
deleted ("dirty out").
Advise: Make a copy of the complete clip using the COPY and
PASTE functions before executing ASSEMBLE edits.
Using record mode INSERT it is possible to overlay only selected
audio tracks with smooth audio crossfades at the record IN and OUT
points. The PREVIEW mode emulates the edit without writing to the
harddisk. INSERT RECORD writes new audio data to the disk.
Note: audio insert recordings affect also all copies of the
material when used in other clips (created with COPY and
PASTE functions).
This means you can not backup the material with the copy and paste
functions because audio insert recordings will also change the copy.
All editing features including track arming and auto edit can be
remote controlled via Sony P2 protocol.
See PDF document bonsaidrive 9-pin implementation for further
information.
To enter a INSERT recording manually please first press the play key
[
► ] to start a locked playback forward. After one or two seconds
when the units is locked hold the [RECORD] key down and press the
play key [
► ] to start the insert recording. Press the play key [ ► ]
again to leave the insert recording mode.
Do not use the stop [
■ ] key instead, because this produces a "dirty
out" without audio crossfade processing at the out point.

MENU 020 INSERT TRACK ARMING
The bonsaidrive records 10 audio channels organised in one 8 track
and a 2 track section (2TRK, 8TRK). The 2TRK section is internally
mapped as channels 9-10. The track arming is restricted to a
fragmentation of one side records where the other side is in playback
mode. Therefore the following combinations can be armed:
OFF
8TRK 1-2
2TRK
8TRK 1-4 2TRK + 8TRK 7-8
8TRK 1-6 2TRK + 8TRK 5-8
8TRK 1-8 2TRK + 8TRK 3-8
8TRK 1-8 + 2TRK 2TRK + 8TRK + VIDEO
Only video inserts are for technical reasons not possible
(variable length of the video codec).
Note: Selecting the record mode MENU 019 to ASSEMBLE arms
all audio channels + video automatically. Check MENU 020
before you start a INSERT RECORDING to avoid unwanted
overwriting of your material.
The audio level inserter indicates armed track pairs with red markers.
MENU 021 VIDEO INPUT
Select the video input used with the [+] and [–] keys. The following
selections are possible: CVBS (Composite or also called FBAS), Y/C
(S-video), COMPONENT (Component signal) and GBR ( RGB-video
signal, G on C20, B on C19 and R on C18).
With installed SDI board also appears menu item SDI.
An additonal information on input formats is available in chapter 8
“Recording clips" (I, page 18).
