Chapter 6 Shot Mark Function 6-3
This section describes the operations concerning
reading and writing shot marks. Note that the
following operations cannot be carried out by remote
control.
6-3-1 Reading Shot Marks
To read in shot marks
With a cassette loaded, hold down the LIST button and
press the F FWD or REW button.
While the shot marks are being read in, the F FWD or
REW button flashes.
The unit searches to the end of the tape, then rewinds
automatically.
For the procedure for listing the shot marks read in, see
page 6-4.
Note
It is only possible to read in a maximum of 200 shot
marks.
When 200 shot marks have been read in, the control
panel display shows the message “SHOT LIST
FULL”, and the reading stops.
To cancel the message, press one of the tape transport
buttons.
To stop reading
Press the STOP button.
6-3 Shot Mark Operations
Reading shot marks from more than one
cassette
After changing the cassettes, carry out the reading
operation again.
Data written in the new cassette will be added as long
as the total does not exceed 200 shot marks. For
example, if 190 shot marks have already read in, only
10 shot marks will be read from the new tape.
In the shot mark list (see page 6-5) the data from
different cassettes is separated by a row of dashes.
6-3-2 Writing Shot Marks
Writing recording start marks during
recording
In item G03 of the shot mark operation menu (page 6-
2), for each of the three recording modes (crash
recording, assemble editing, and insert editing), select
whether or not to write recording start mark.
When you set a particular mode to “ON”, a recording
start mark is written on the tape each time you start
recording in that mode.
Note
When using insert mode, press the TC button to turn
the indicator on.
Writing shot mark 1, shot mark 2, or post
marks
Selecting the type of shot mark written
In item G04 of the shot mark operation menu (page 6-
2), select one of shot mark 1, shot mark 2, and post
mark.
Note
If any of the settings in item G03 of the shot mark
operation menu is set to ON (to write a recording start
mark), then the user bits are overwritten with the shot
mark data for 20 frames from the start of recording in
crash record mode, assemble edit mode, or insert edit
mode.
