VTR/Disk Recorder/Extended VTR Timeline

For a keyframe effect controlled from the center control panel, the timeline
allows you to set a VTR, disk recorder or Extended VTR action at a keyframe
point on the timeline.

Timeline actions

The actions that can be used on the timeline are as follows.
• Start
• Stop
• Cue up
• Variable speed

Notes

• The timeline does not support loop and recue.
• For a disk recorder, the maximum number of files for a single register is

eight.

For the action settings (VTR/disk recorder/Extended VTR 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, disk recorder or Extended VTR.

Note

When executing a timeline using a disk recorder or Extended VTR, note the
following points.
