Although fast random access is a
special ability of disc media, when
dubbing from a camcorder to a DVD
disc, without any marked points in the
content, searching and editing cannot
be easily performed. However, with
the RDR-GX7, when the content is
dubbed onto a DVD-RW disc in VR
mode, the Auto Scene Chaptering
function puts a chapter mark at the
beginning of each scene* of the DV
recording. Thanks to this function,
after dubbing the DV content onto
disc, it can be played back with
random access capability, and editing
operations can be performed. When
the content is dubbed onto a DVD-
RW (Video mode), +RW or -R disc,
chapter marks can be automatically
inserted at either 6-minute or 15-
minute intervals

RDR-GX7 Technical Notes
15
*On each video sector of a tape recorded in the DV or Digital 8 format, various forms of data called “auxiliary data” are recorded
together with the video images. The recorded date and time is one example. The data for the recorded date and time is automatically
recorded together with the image, so at each stop-to-start point, the recorded date and time data is not continuous. The RDR-GX7 takes
this time data gap and records it when dubbing to DVD, and at each point a chapter mark is automatically inserted.
