■ Advanced Program Edit

Compared to the Program Edit function, in which the tape is

watched and desired scenes are selected, the Advanced Program

Edit function copies the entire tape onto a DVD disc. Scenes are

selected and edited on the disc itself, taking full advantage of the

merits of the disc format. First, the tape is dubbed “as is” onto a

DVD-RW in VR mode. In this process, Auto Scene Chaptering

(see column) is performed and chapters are automatically

created. In addition, since Program Dubbing can take each

selected scene and automatically create a scene list based on

particular chapters, unwanted scenes may be deleted and the

order of scenes can be changed, enabling the creation of a high-

level edit program which can also be saved. Then, a new disc can

be inserted into the RDR-GX7 and this Edit Program data can be

copied onto it to enable the RDR-GX7 to create a copy of the

same content onto this disc, directly from the original tape, by

controlling the camcorder as the recording source. For all discs

compatible with the RDR-GX7, it is possible to make any

number of disc copies containing the high quality image directly

from the tape.

Of course, just as with Program Edit where each scene is

selected, selection is possible at the IN and OUT points.

Importantly, since this is a disc, chapter selection can be made

using high-speed cueing, thus reducing the load on the tape

(which serves as the master) during editing processes.

While this type of editing is also possible on an HDD/DVD

Combo Recorder, there are many cases where encoding and

decoding operations are necessary when accessing the program

material. However, with Advanced Program Edit, since the

dubbing comes directly from the original video tape,

deterioration in image quality is held to the absolute minimum,

which presents a distinct advantage over editing on an

HDD/DVD Combo Recorder.
