MacroSystem Bogart SE Ver.2 User manual - Manual (Page 6)

4 Chapter 1
Note: We would like to point out the necessity of using HDV
tapes when recording footage to the HDV Recorder and/or
Bogart SE editing software (which allows HDV editing)! The
special surface coating of these tapes considerably reduces
the drop-out rate. Drop-outs lead to evidently more problems
in MPEG method in HDV recordings than during standard DV
filming. Unlike the DV method, HDV recordings may loose an
entire Group of Pictures (GOP) due to a drop-out.
This results clearly in more significant picture faults and prob-
lems during transfer and editing of such flawed footage.
1.4 Structure of this user manual
This manual explains the Bogart SE functions but refers to
various hardware systems .
As the units running Bogart SE may have different technical
specifications, this may result in differing software functional-
ity . Such differences are highlighted in the respective parts of
this manual .
This manual is divided into two main parts and an appendices .
The first part of this manual guides the user through Installation
(Chapter 2) and then through the Basics of device use (Chapter
3) . These sections are designed to help new owners to begin
editing right away .
In the second main part, all screens, buttons and their func-
tions are explained in a complete Reference section (Chapter
4) . There you will find useful hints that will make your work
easier . If there is a function that you do not completely under-
stand, there you can read up on it to become more familiar .
The chapters VGA Mode (Chapter 5) and Tips & Error Handling
(Chapter 6) offer tips and tricks as well as background informa-
tion . In the appendix, you will learn all about the media man-
ager, which is part of Bogart SE now . The table of contents
completes this manual .
Enjoy exploring Bogart SE!
We hope that you will be as satisfied as the many thousands of
MacroSystem customers before you!
