Control of VTRs, Extended VTRs, and Disk Recorders
VTR/Disk Recorder/Extended VTR Timeline
For a keyframe effect controlled from the center control panel, the timeline
allows you to set a VTR, disk recorder or Extended VTR action at a keyframe
point on the timeline.
Timeline actions
The actions that can be used on the timeline are as follows.
•Start
•Stop
•Cue up
• Variable speed
Notes
• The timeline does not support loop and recue.
• For a disk recorder, the maximum number of files for a single register is
eight.
For the action settings (VTR/disk recorder/Extended VTR timeline editing),
use the Device menu.
The data set in the Device menu are saved in a keyframe effect register. When
you recall this register and start execution of the keyframe effect, and advance
the effect to the keyframe point for which the action is set, an action command
is output to the external device through the 9-pin serial port assigned to the
VTR, disk recorder or Extended VTR.
Notes
When executing a timeline using a disk recorder or Extended VTR, note the
following points.
• It is not possible to use loop and recue on the timeline.
• When carrying out keyframe settings, be sure to recall the file for operation
first.
• If the duration of the recorded video clip is less than the keyframe duration,
after playback to the end of the clip, the remainder of the keyframe duration
is filled with a still of the last frame of the clip (see figure below).
