Cueup & Play
By saving the start point timecode, stop point timecode, and start delay time for
a VTR or disk recorder in an effect register, and recalling this register, you can
operate the following buttons in the keyframe control block to automatically
control the VTR or disk recorder.
[REWIND] button: Cue up to the start point timecode
[RUN] button: Play
With this function you can also stop the VTR or disk recorder used for
playback at the stop point timecode recalled from the same register.
VTR/disk recorder timeline
For a keyframe effect controlled from the center control panel, the VTR/disk
recorder timeline allows you to set a VTR or disk recorder action at a keyframe
point on the timeline.
VTR/disk recorder timeline actions
The actions that can be used on the VTR/disk recorder timeline are as follows.
•Start
•Stop

Note
For a disk recorder, the maximum number of files for a single register is 8.
For the action settings (VTR or disk recorder timeline editing), use the Device
menu.
The data set in the Device menu are saved in a keyframe effect register. When
you recall this register and start execution of the keyframe effect, and advance
the effect to the keyframe point for which the action is set, an action command
is output to the external device through the 9-pin serial port assigned to the
VTR or disk recorder.
Recalling disk recorder files
Material held on a disk recorder is managed in units of files. You can recall a
file to play it back.
Accessing the file list
Before playback and suchlike operations on a disk recorder, it is first necessary
to display a list of the disk recorder files on the DCU. The file list includes the
following information.
