Recording Completed Sequences to Tape
Digital News Production 155
- Deck Protocol—Choose the protocol for the tape deck you are using.
Choices include: Sony 422 Protocol; Sony DNW-A100; DV 1394. You
only need to configure the protocol once.
- Comm Port—Choose the communication port you are using for the tape
deck, from COM1 through COM10. The port should be set to the same
port as the Comm Port you specify for deck controls in your Source setup.
- Playback Delay—Enter a playback delay if you want a delay between
clicking Record in the Play to Tape dialog and when the playback
actually begins. Playback Delay applies only to the Crash Record mode,
providing time to press the Record button on the tape deck.
- Output Latency—Enter a latency duration if you are using a 1394
converter and want a latency applied to your record.
4. Select an edit mode for the record:
- Insert Edit—Records new material at an intermediate point of an existing
recording; uses the existing timecode. You can send individual tracks to
the tape as well.
- Assemble Edit—Records new material at the end of a pre-recorded
section of the tape, changing the timecode.
- Crash Record—Initiates a record without using the auto-edit function,
eliminating the need for preroll; results in a record that doesn’t have a
frame-accurate start position.
NOTE: The Insert and Assemble Edit modes work only with decks
that have Auto-Edit functions. Check your tape deck’s user manual
to determine if it supports this feature.
5. Mark an In point.
The timecode of the record tape shows up at the Mark In point.
6. Press F12 on the keyboard, or click the Record button, to start recording.
After the sequence is done recording, the deck will stop.
7. Close the Play To Tape window.
8. Review your recorded story by clicking the Record To Bin button in the
main toolbar.
