Glossary of Terms
Assemble
With the Assemble function, only the required portions of
the original (source) tape are copied to another tape and
linked together.
Audio Dubbing
You can record two audio tracks (Stereo 1 and Stereo 2) on
a tape that is recorded in 12bit audio mode. (When the tape
is first recorded, the audio is recorded only in the Stereo 1
track.) The Audio Dubbing function allows you to add new,
separate audio in the Stereo 2 track.
Audio Mixing
You can record two audio tracks (Stereo 1 and Stereo 2) on
a tape that is recorded in 12bit audio mode. (When the tape
is first recorded, the audio is recorded only in the Stereo 1
track.) The Audio Mixing function allows you to mix the
original audio from Stereo 1 with new audio from a line input
and record the result in the Stereo 2 track.
Copying
The Copying function copies material previously recorded
on one tape onto another tape with no changes.
Insert
The Insert function allows you to insert different material into
previously recorded video or audio. There are three
variations of the Insert function: Video Insert, which inserts
video only; Audio Insert, which inserts audio only, and AV
Insert, which inserts both audio and video.
SP/LP Mode
There are two different tape speed modes for digital video:
SP and LP.
“SP” is short for “Standard Play”, and “LP” is short for “Long
Play”.
LP mode permits recording for about 1.5 times as long as
SP mode. Although the image quality of LP mode is as
good as that of SP mode, material recorded in LP mode
may not play back normally when played on a different video
unit, or when played in slow motion or frame by frame, which
can result in mosaic noise on the display. In addition, the
Insert, Audio Dubbing, and Audio Mixing functions cannot
be used with a tape that was recorded in LP mode.
