Match frame processing system

When two VTRs are used to perform the audio split

editing operations, there will be a total of 8 edit

points: the video IN and OUT points for the player,

the video IN and OUT points for the recorder, the

audio IN and OUT points for the player, and the

audio IN and OUT points for the recorder.

When five of the eight edit points are registered, the

remaining three points are automatically calculated

so only five of the edit points need to be registered.

$ When a VTR not equipped with the split

editing function is used as the player

When a VTR that cannot set the video and audio

edit points independently is used as the player, split

editing is still possible by setting the audio IN point

and OUT point in the recorder and setting the data

of three points as the video edit points.

<Note>

If, during audio split editing, the video OUT point (or

audio OUT point) only is registered without the

audio OUT (or video OUT point) having been

registered and automatic editing is then executed,

either the audio OUT point (or video OUT point) will

be registered or editing will continue until the STOP

button is pressed to suspend the editing operation.

Variable memory editing

Using the unit as a controller (deck-to-deck editing

mode recorder) to control the playback speed of the

VTR used as the player, editing can be performed in

speed variable mode.

After selecting VTR used as the player by pressing

PLAYER button, set the initial speed by the search

dial while pressing SET button.

Simultaneously pressing both SET button and

PREVIEW/REVIEW button results in automatic

prerolling for the both VTRs (player and recorder),

then the player VTR is operated at the set initial

speed up to the IN point.

$ Selecting the variable memory mode

When deck-to-deck editing (either the RECORDER

or PLAYER lamp lights) is to be performed, set the

initial speed (–1.0 to +2.0) by turning the search dial

with the SET button held down to transfer the unit to

variable memory mode.

After passing the IN point, turn the search dial to

memorize the playback speed of the VTR used as

the player.

$ Releasing variable memory mode

Press the RESET button while holding down the

SET button to release the unit from variable memory

mode.

When the tape has passed the OUT point set by

recorder, the memory of the playback speed will

terminate.

The unit will also be released from this mode when

deck-to-deck editing operations are completed.

Variable memory editing operation

procedure

When AUTO EDIT button is pressed, variable

memory editing is executed.

Once editing has been executed, the memorized

speed will be cleared. The initial speed will not be

cleared however.

Variable memory editing operation can be performed

according to the following procedure.

Select the edit mode by pressing ASSEM button or

desired INSERT buttons.

The result of editing can be checked by pressing

PREVIEW/REVIEW button.

Time code/user bit

Time code

Use the TC (REC RUN/FREE RUN) switch to set

the operation mode in which the internal time code

generator is to be advanced.

The time code is used when the time code signal

generated by the time code generator (time code

signal generator) is to be recorded on the tape, its

values are to be read by the time code reader (time

code signal reader), and the absolute position of the

tape is to be displayed in increments of hours,

minutes, seconds and frames.

REC RUN:

The internal time code generator is advanced

during recording.

The time code advances all the time when the

TC (REGEN/PRESET) switch is at the REGEN

position.

FREE RUN:

The time code is written in the sub-code area (data

area) of the helical track. This enables insert editing to

be conducted independently using the time code

alone. In addition, the VTR’s playback speed can be

read from the stop mode to slow-motion playback up to

high-speed play (approx. 50a normal speed/approx.

100a when using DVCPRO tape).

When the power is on, the internal time code

generator is advanced regardless of the

operation mode.

Use the TC (REGEN/PRESET) switch to set the re-

generating mode.

REGEN:

In this mode, the continuity of the original time

code prior to editing is maintained.

OA more detailed setting can be performed

using setup menu No. 503 (TCG REGEN) and

No. 504 (REGEN MODE).

The time code value appears on the counter display. It

is also superimposed onto the display of the TV

monitor which has been connected to the VIDEO OUT

3 connector or SDI OUT 3 connector, but it does not

appear on the front panel’s LCD monitor.

Rack mounting

The unit can be mounted into a 19-inch standard rack

using the optional rack-mounting adaptors (AJ-

MA75P). For the installation rails, it is recommended

that the 18-inch rail and bracket (model number

CC3061-99-0400) by Chassis Trak be used. (The

complete slide rail and bracket unit is not available

from Panasonic.)

Attach the AJ-MA75P rack mount adapter using the

same 4 screws.

For further details, consult your dealer.

Attach the inner members of the slide rails.

Refer to the figure below for the locations where the

screws are to be attached.

Locations where the screws are secured on the right (R)

side of the inner members of the slide rails

Rack-mounting adaptors

Remove the 4 rubber legs from the bottom of the

unit, and install the unit in the rack.

After the unit has been installed, check that it

moves smoothly along the rails.

Video head cleaning

This unit is equipped with an auto head cleaning

function which automatically reduces the amount of dirt

on the video heads. However, in order to maximize the

unit’s reliability, it is recommended that the video

heads be cleaned as and when appropriate.

For further details on how to actually clean the heads,

consult with one of our service companies or with your

dealer.

Condensation

Condensation occurs due to the same principle

involved when droplets of water form on a window

pane of a heated room. It occurs when the unit or tape

is moved between places where the temperature or

humidity varies greatly or when, for instance:

OIt is moved to a very humid place full of steam or a

room immediately after it has been heated up.

OIt is suddenly moved from a cold location to a hot or

humid location.

When moving the unit to locations such as these,

leave it standing for about 10 minutes rather than

switching on the power immediately.

If condensation occurs in the unit, “E-20” will flash on

the counter display and the cassette will be

automatically ejected.

Leave the unit with the power on until “E-20” is cleared

from the display.

Maintenance

Before starting any maintenance work, switch the

power to OFF and, holding the plug, unplug the cord

from the socket.

Use a soft cloth to clean the outside of the unit.

For stubborn dirt or stains, wipe the unit with a cloth

that has been lightly dampened with well-diluted

kitchen detergent and wrung out thoroughly.

After wiping off the dirt with the damp cloth, finish it off

with a dry cloth.

<Note>

Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinners or any other

solvents as they may affect the color of external parts

or damage the unit’s coating.

ACK code returned/ACK code not returned

<Note>

The ACK code is what is returned from the

VTR to the controller when data has been

successfully sent from the controller.

Command identifier; a 3-byte identifier (ASCII

code: symbols, numbers, upper-case letters) is

sent as the command.

[ : ] :

The underlining indicates the factory settings.

This code serves as a delimiter between the

command and data.

Any changes to the settings can be made using the

setup menu items listed below.

[data] :

Data (ASCII code: symbols, numbers, upper-case

letters) can be added in the number of bytes

required.

2When a different command is to be sent, a response

is awaited from the VTR, and then the command is

sent. (See page 79.)

3If STX is sent again before ETX is sent, the receive

data buffer inside the VTR is cleared. A command

error is returned to the controller, and the data is

newly processed with STX which was received

again at the head.
