When two or more video cameras (or video  
decks) are connected, be sure to change  
the ID number for the connected deck so  
that there is no duplication of ID numbers.  
Connecting another device during operation  
When connecting another device during operation, initializing is necessary to confirm the  
connected devices. (It is not necessary to run JLIP Video Producer from the beginning again.)

Adjusting the gap between stored In/Out points on the PC and dubbed ones on  
the recorder  
During dubbing, the beginning of the scene stored on the PC may be missed, or the scene  
prior to the transition you chose for the In/Out points may be dubbed onto the recorder.  
When this occurs, adjust the gap for more accurate editing.  
After dubbing (see page 43), play back  
1 the dubbed scene to check the In/Out  
point timing.  
Select Preferences Options on the  
2 JLIP Video Producer Window to bring up  
the Options dialog box.  
To set the In point or Out point, enter the  
3 numeric value or click  
ᮡᮢ  
.
To adjust the In point timing, enter a new  
value from 0 Frame to –200 Frame.  
In point  
: when the scene starts too  
early, enter a smaller value  
than the present value.  
: when the scene starts too  
late, enter a larger value  
than the present value.  
In point  
•The default setting is –33 Frame.  
•Click Default to return settings to  
factory defaults.  
To adjust the Out point timing, enter a  
new value from 0 Frame to –200 Frame.  
Out point : when the scene ends too  
late, enter a larger value  
than the present value.  
Out point : when the scene ends too  
early, enter a smaller value  
than the present value.  
•The default setting is –8 Frame.  
•Click Default to return settings to  
factory defaults.  
Click OK.  
4 •The new value is stored on the PC.  
To check the corrected In/Out point  
5 timing, dub the stored scenes and play  
them back.  
NOTE:  
Even if the In/Out point timing is adjusted,  
there may still be a slight margin between  
adjusted In/Out points and those of the  
dubbed scenes.

SYMPTOM  
TYPICAL SITUATION  
Cannot select serial port  
Sometimes the RS-232C port cannot be used because  
the PC’s COM ports have all been assigned to internal  
modems, IrDA or other devices. To check port usage,  
right click on My Computer on the desktop, select  
Properties, click on the Device Manager tab, and look  
under the item Ports. If no ports are open, disable one  
of the modems, IrDA drivers or other devices to free up  
a COM port.  
It may not be possible to use the RS-232C depending  
on the USB and digital still camera being used.  
The BIOS may need to be set depending on the PC  
model in question.  
Check that the correct serial port number is set.  
Check that the JLIP device is turned on.  
Check that the correct connections for the JLIP device  
have been made.  
Check that you have not mistaken the editing cable for  
the JLIP cable used for connections.  
JLIP device is not detected  
If two or more JLIP devices are used, check that the  
JLIP ID numbers being used do not conflict with each  
other.  
Cannot control digital video  
camera using the controller  
Check that "Player" has been selected on the JLIP  
Devices dialog box.  
Cannot control recorder using  
the controller  
Check that "Recorder" has been selected on the JLIP  
Devices dialog box.  
Only video decks having JLIP terminals can be used.  
Depending on the video deck’s specifications, it may  
not be capable of some functions such as slow, search,  
frame advance, and reverse playback. Please refer to  
the instruction manual for the specifications of the  
video deck in question.  
Cannot select P.AE/Effect or  
Fade/Wipe Effect  
Some combinations of P.AE/Effect and Fade/Wipe  
Effect cannot be selected at the same time. Select  
another type of P.AE/Effect or Fade/Wipe Effect.  
Fade/Wipe Effects that use video images cannot be set  
for scene 00, the bottom of the scene, tape changing  
scenes or a scene before the tape change.  
Auto Edit operation stops  
Check that no other application software is running.  
This type of symptom occurs when the correct data is  
not being sent from the digital video camera due to  
damage to the tape being played.  
This type of symptom may arise when a tape recorded  
in LP mode is played back using a different digital  
video camera.  
Check that the tape in the recorder has its erase  
protection switch.

SYMPTOM  
TYPICAL SITUATION  
The video deck does not  
function  
When the video deck is in Remote Pause mode or is  
being controlled by remote control, be sure to put the  
video deck in Record Pause mode before starting Auto  
Edit.  
When the video deck is in Remote Pause mode or is  
being controlled by remote control, check that "Use  
Edit Terminal" has been selected on the JLIP Devices  
dialog box.  
When the video deck is being controlled by the  
remote control of the digital video camera, set the  
brand code of the remote control of the digital video  
camera, corresponding to the video deck being used.  
When the video deck is being controlled by JLIP,  
check on the JLIP Devices dialog box that "Recorder"  
has been set and that "Use Edit Terminal" has not been  
set.  
Check that you have not mistaken the editing cable for  
the JLIP cable used for connections.  
Selected P.AE/Effect or Wipe/  
Fade Effect does not function  
Some functions may not be available depending on  
the video deck's specifications. Please refer to the  
instruction manual for the specifications of the video  
deck in question.  
Check that the Out point setting actually corresponds  
Auto Edit function does not  
end  
to a counter value on the tape being used.  
Edit point is displaced  
If the displacement is always by the same amount:  
Change the value of "Rec Pause Time Correction"  
found under the menu Preferences Options (See  
p. 52).  
If the displacement varies:  
This may be due to a small mechanical displacement  
caused by imprecision in the operation of the video  
deck itself.  
Video/audio from the digital  
video camera is not recorded  
Check the A/V cord connections.  
Set the video deck for external input.  
First check that the video and audio from the digital  
camera appears on the TV connected to the video  
deck, and then execute Auto Edit.  
Unwanted items such as time,  
date and time code are  
displayed  
Clear the display by changing the settings of the digital  
video camera.  
Color of the display of the  
PC's monitor is strange  
The color cannot be displayed properly on monitors  
having less than 256 colors capability.  
The actual appearance of the application software may differ from that illustrated in this  
manual, depending on the operating environment of your PC.
