A feature is available that prevents playback from rolling past the end of a hard recording, see RECORD END
STILL.
OPEN ENDED ASSEMBLE EDIT
Same as ASSEMBLE EDIT (see below) except the DURATION is ignored, and recording continues until the
STOP key is tapped. At that time, the edit is ended and the timecode shown when STOP was tapped is marked
into the event’s OUT point. If auto tag is enabled (see SET AUTO TAG below), the event is incremented and
the new IN point is also marked. This way, sequential edits are accomplished without having to enter
successive edit points. A record of all edits is inherently maintained as a sequence of events, so replacing any
edit is accomplished by changing to the INSERT EDIT record mode, selecting the event to replace, and re-
editing.
ASSEMBLE EDIT
The assemble edit mode destroys any control track information that may already exist on the tape at the OUT
point resulting in picture breakup when playing back just after the OUT point. It should only be used to edit
sequentially onto the end of an existing recording.
OPEN ENDED INSERT EDIT
Same as OPEN ENDED ASSEMBLE EDIT (see above), except the INSERT EDIT mode (see below) is used.
INSERT EDIT
When editing onto a tape that already has video recorded on it, the insert edit mode allows you to make edits
with clean IN and OUT points. The insert edit modes allow you to define which tracks (video, audio, timecode,
etc.) should be replaced with the edit. After selecting this mode, use the numeric keypad keys to toggle the
various edit channels. Enabled channels are shown on the upper display line. Tap the HOME key when done.

ANIMATION
Used for multiple fixed-duration edits. Animation is an insert edit mode where a CELL DURATION is specified
in minutes, seconds, and/or frames. The CELL DURATION is automatically used as each edit’s DURATION.
Because auto tagging is used (even if AUTO TAG is disabled), a list of all edits is inherently stored as a
sequence of events. Any cell may be replaced simply by selecting the event of the cell to be re-recorded and
re-editing. This mode is useful for recording telecine pin registration, pencil sketch tests, cell animation, etc.
