Sony RDR-GX7 - Manual (Page 16)

Two high level editing functions
make it easy to create your own DVD
In saving content on DVD, users usually cut out unwanted
sections and edit down the content, but they may later wish to
restore some of the original content. In addition, when creating a
DVD for personal use, the content is usually rearranged to suit
the intended purpose. For this reason, the RDR-GX7 has, in
addition to the One Touch Dubbing feature, two different
functions which enable a high level of editing operation and
versatility.
An editing system can be created simply by connecting the
RDR-GX7 to a DV or Digital 8 camcorder though a single
i.LINK cable. Desired scenes may be selected and these scenes
can be put in any desired order through the creation of an editing
program. Later, the tape drive of the camcorder can be controlled
by the RDR-GX7, with the editing program automatically
creating a compilation DVD for personal use.
These operations can be performed using the remote control
of the RDR-GX7, with simple operation and a minimum of
control steps, for remarkably easy editing. Once this editing
program has been created, it can be used again and again to
record any number of DVDs for friends and relatives. Since they
are recorded directly from the tape as a recording source, the
images are clear and crisp. This enables the creation of DVD
discs with high image quality.

■ Program Edit
This function enables desired scenes from a video tape to be
selected and placed in any order for recording onto DVD to
create your own original recordings. The camcorder is controlled
by the RDR-GX7, with each scene – from the IN point
(beginning point of the scene ) to the OUT point (end point of
the scene) – selectable, in succession. Afterwards, slight
adjustments can be made to the IN and OUT points, and the
order of the scenes may be changed. As the video scene list is
being watched, an Edit Program is created. Once the OK has
been given, dubbing can be started, with synchronized operation
between the playback side (camcorder) and the recording side
(RDR-GX7) to perform the dubbing automatically. Moreover, up
to 50 scenes (from one point to another) may be set into one
editing program, with a maximum of 20 programs possible, of
which all can be stored in the memory of the RDR-GX7. Once a
program has been set, it is possible to record any number of
DVD discs directly from the original video tape source with
automatic operation.
