NOTES
Set the editing timing for the 9P editing controller to 8 frames.
When using an editing controller provided with a colour framing function, do not set the colour framing mode.
Although, for insert editing using the 9P editing system, it is possible to set the editing channels independently
for the time code signals and audio signals, this particular unit uses linear track CH2 for both the time code
(LTC) and normal audio CH2. For this reason, the “AUDIO CH2” dial menu function (item No. 3006) must be set
properly in accordance with the signals which are to be edited.
For time code editing, set the “TC INT/EXT SELECT” dial menu function (item No. 7001) to “INT”.
When the 9P editing system is used, the “9P FF/REW MODE?” dial menu function (item No. 5003) can be used to
select full loading FF/REW and unloading FF/REW.
Set the dial menu function (item No. 1003) “TAPE PROTECTION” to "AUTO ADVANCE” only when editing
lengthy scenes during AB roll editing.
For colour framing editing, be absolutely sure to set the SYNC selector on the editor to the NORMAL position. If,
in a system in which the TBC is not connected to the player, the player is set to the search or jog mode at this
time, the playback picture on the editor will be disturbed.
<Caution>
Set the preroll time of the editing controller to “7 SEC”.
Use a colour framed tape in the editor unit.
Use a colour programme tape in the source unit. This tape need not be colour framed.
Notes for Colour Framing
When reviewing to check the Frame Editing after editing, the source unit is in the pause mode and the editor
changes over to the internal synchronisation condition.
Therefore, the Frame Lamp is off the whole time.
Please check the colour framing at the Editing-In and -Out points in the review mode on the screen of the monitor.
The following are remarks on the Colour Framing Editing, however, they do not matter in the ordinary editing
system.
Editing via Video Input Connector
1) The input video signal should be a CCIR standard PAL colour signal.
2) Set the preroll time of the Controller to 7 seconds.
3) The tape in the editor should be recorded by colour framing the CCIR standard PAL colour signal.
4) Both tapes in the source and the editor should have continuity of the colour rotation in all editing sections.
(There should not be any assemble or insert editing.)
How to check whether colour framing was performed on a tape or not
1) Insert the tape that you want to check into the AG-8700 and set the MENU function “Frame Servo” to
“COLOUR FRAME”.
2) Input the standard CCIR PAL signal via the Video Input Connector and playback the tape.
3) If the Frame Lock Lamp lights up, the recording on the tape is colour framed.
