Chapter

When an HDW-S280 and editor or two HDW-S280 units 
and an editor are used in combination, you can perform 
assemble editing.

Press the REMOTE button on the recorder VTR so that it 
is not lit and the REMOTE button on the player VTR so 
that it is lit beforehand.

In assemble editing, you record video and audio materials 
in order from the start of the tape. In addition to video, 
audio, CTL and timecodes are recorded. If a timecode is 
already recorded on the tape, the new timecode is recorded 
so as to form a continuous sequence with the existing 
timecode. Assemble editing is convenient when you are 
recording on a new tape.

Before you begin assemble editing for the first time with a 
new tape, a video signal such as black signal, CTL, and a 
timecode must be recorded on the tape in advance of the 
recorder IN point for a length equal to or greater than the 
preroll time. 

Set ASSEMBLE on the HOME page of the function menu 
to ON.

For assemble editing, set TCR on the P4 TC page of the 
function menu to LTC or AUTO.

This section describes how to perform automatic editing 
with this unit and another VTR connected via the 
REMOTE 9P connector.

The sequence of editing operations using two HDW-S280 
when units is as shown below.
