■ Advanced Program Edit
Compared to the Program Edit function, in which the tape is
watched and desired scenes are selected, the Advanced Program
Edit function copies the entire tape onto a DVD disc. Scenes are
selected and edited on the disc itself, taking full advantage of the
merits of the disc format. First, the tape is dubbed “as is” onto a
DVD-RW in VR mode. In this process, Auto Scene Chaptering
(see column) is performed and chapters are automatically
created. In addition, since Program Dubbing can take each
selected scene and automatically create a scene list based on
particular chapters, unwanted scenes may be deleted and the
order of scenes can be changed, enabling the creation of a high-
level edit program which can also be saved. Then, a new disc can
be inserted into the RDR-GX7 and this Edit Program data can be
copied onto it to enable the RDR-GX7 to create a copy of the
same content onto this disc, directly from the original tape, by
controlling the camcorder as the recording source. For all discs
compatible with the RDR-GX7, it is possible to make any
number of disc copies containing the high quality image directly
from the tape.
Of course, just as with Program Edit where each scene is
selected, selection is possible at the IN and OUT points.
Importantly, since this is a disc, chapter selection can be made
using high-speed cueing, thus reducing the load on the tape
(which serves as the master) during editing processes.
While this type of editing is also possible on an HDD/DVD
Combo Recorder, there are many cases where encoding and
decoding operations are necessary when accessing the program
material. However, with Advanced Program Edit, since the
dubbing comes directly from the original video tape,
deterioration in image quality is held to the absolute minimum,
which presents a distinct advantage over editing on an
HDD/DVD Combo Recorder.
