If the InsIN offset is greater than one or two seconds, you will need to increase
the PREROLL time for the Scene Event's play
VCR by a corresponding amount.
The best example of this is a record VCR that uses PANA protocol. Typically, a
Panasonic 5-pin VCR advises Edit Suite that it is in insert mode (and it turns on
its insert indicator) almost seven seconds before it actually begins recording the
insert. During this time there is no counter or tape movement.
You must adjust for this "waiting" time by changing both the InsIN offset for the
record VCR and the PREROLL value for the source VCR/camcorder. For PANA
record VCRs, then, start with an InsIN offset value of -1608 (NTSC) or -1340
(PAL), and increase the PREROLL value for the play VCR from 5 to 12 seconds.
For other protocols, start with the InsIN default value of 0000 and leave the
preroll value for the source VCR set to five seconds.
Ways to Create an Insert Event
There are three ways to create an Insert Event:
1. The NEW Menu
• Display the NEW menu, select INS, then press [OK]. Edit Suite will create
an Insert Event with a default insert type of AV, and with empty IN and
OUT times.
002 IN : : .
INS OUT : : .
A
V
2. The INSERT Key
• Press INSERT. An Insert Event is created with AV as the insert type and
with the IN time set to the current time from the Record VCR. The Record
VCR is also selected as the current VCR so you can use the transport keys
and the jog/shuttle to locate the IN and OUT times for the insert. Press
[IN] to add/change the IN location; press OUT to add/change the OUT
location.
3. The R Key plus IN or OUT
• Press R to select the record VCR.
• Use the transport keys to position the recorder to the IN or OUT point for
the insert.
• Press [IN] or [OUT] to create the INS Event with the IN or OUT time filled
in, depending on which key was pressed.
