You can connect this unit to two VTRs and perform
assemble editing and insert editing.
Assemble editing
With assemble editing, the video, audio, timecode, and
CTL (control) signals are edited simultaneously. The
information of the timecode and CTL signals are
transferred from the tape of the player.
This type of editing is useful for doing a rough editing onto
blank tape.
However, assemble editing is not appropriate for inserting
new video images into an edited scene because the picture
will be distorted where the insert ends.
For first-time assemble editing, video signals like black
burst signals, CTL signals, or timecode equal to more than
the preroll time must be recorded before the IN point of the
recorder.
Insert editing
With insert editing, new video and audio signals are
inserted based on the pre-recorded timecode or CTL
signals on the tape being used for recording. Video and
audio signals can be edited independently. This type of
editing is useful for:
• Adding music or narrations to a tape on which the video
signals are already edited
• Adding video signals to a tape on which the audio
signals are already edited
• Replacing video and audio signals of a tape for which
assemble editing was done
• Adding a new scene to a tape that is already recorded
The CTL signals of the recorder are transferred in
succession, so you cannot do insert editing on blank tape
because it does not have any CTL signals.
Preparations
Setting for Editing
Connecting to the VTRs whose VTR
constants are stored
The VTR constants required for editing are already preset
in the RM-280 for the following VTRs.
• HDW-S280
• HDW-2000 series
• DVW-2000 series
• DVW-500 series
• DNW-A28
• DNW-A75 series
• DNW-A25WSP
• BVW-75 series
• PVW-2800 series
• UVW-1800 series
• DSR-2000A/1800A/1600A/1500A
• DSR-2000AP/1800AP/1600AP/1500AP
• DSR-45A/45AP
• PDW-1500 with a PDBZ-E1500 installed
• PDW-F70/F75
• PDW-HD1500
• PDW-F1600
• XDS-PD1000
• XDS-PD2000
When you connect these devices to this unit for editing, set
the setup menu item 09, 10 and 11 to AUTO.
Connecting to the VTRs whose VTR
constants are not stored
When connecting devices other than the above mentioned,
do the following before starting to edit.
• Learn the start delay time (Learn Function). (see page
58)
• Set the appropriate edit delay value on the setup menu
item 09.
• Set the setup menu item 10 and 11 to LEARN.
• Set the timecode generator of the device connected to
this unit. (see page 59)
Learning the Start Delay Time (Learn
Function)
This unit detects the start delay time of the VTRs
connected to the unit automatically and hold the data for
years. It enables the unit to synchronize the tape running
speed of each VTR. Also, the preroll time may be
shortened.
