On passing the OUT point, the MEMORY indicator changes from flashing to continuously lit, and the variable speed storing ends.
Preread Editing Video and audio signals already recorded on the recorder tape can be used as an edit source for insert editing. This type of editing is called “preread editing”, as the VCR uses the preread heads to read the signals in advance from the tape. The video signals read out by the preread heads can be sent to a video switcher, and combined with video signals from the player for recording.
Preread Editing Note • You cannot carry out preread editing using SDTI or i.LINK signals. • When the preread mode is selected (the PREREAD button is lit), to prevent feedback in the loop connection, no E-E video out is available, regardless of the operating mode of the unit. When preread mode is turned off after preread editing, however, if the same channel remains connected to both input and output, an E-E signal is output, and feedback will occur.
Special Editing Methods This section describes the following editing methods. • Quick editing After selecting an edit mode, you can save on editing time by setting the edit points and executing the edit at the same time. • Continuous editing When you execute multiple edits in succession, you can edit from the second time on by setting the player IN and OUT points only.
