9 Chapter Overview - Control Panel Overview The standard control panel of the MAV-777 provides a wide range of functions allowing you to take full advantage of the hard disk as a nonlinear editing device. This chapter describes the main features of the control panel, as well as editing and edit data management operations. -2 Features HD VTR-like user interface For ease of use by users familiar with HD VTRs such as digital video cassette recorders (HDW), the control panel has a VTR-like layout. The MAV-777 can be handled as a conventional HD VTR, thus introduction is smooth. Multi-port operation Using the control panel, all of the internal ports of the MAV-777 can be operated. Use of 6.4-inch colour liquid crystal display To display precisely and in detail the information of the MAV-777 multiport operation for example, the control panel is equipped with a large (30 x 97 mm), high-resolution (640 x 480 pixels) color liquid crystal display (LCD). The LCD provides a full range of display functions, such as those of the monitor screen, and comes as a user-friendly graphical interface, making operation easier. Operations exploiting the features of a nonlinear device Using this control panel, you can take full advantage of the MAV-777 hard disk capabilities as a nonlinear device. The following operations can be performed. Material data stored in the MAV-777 can be edited immediately, regardless of the actual length of the completed material. Further, modifications can also be made immediately once editing is complete. Multiple material items can be recorded or played back simultaneously. Material can be edited as it is being recorded. Direct input of numeric values Timecode and user bit values can be directly input as numeric values, using the function keys. Chapter Overview - (E)

10 -2 Features Management functions for material This control panel provides material management functions for the material on the MAV-777 (Material mode). In Material mode, the MAV-777 displays lists of material and detailed information on each item, and functions are provided that allow operations such as sorting, renaming, and deleting items of material. Edit using effects When editing in Audio Channel mode, you can use material edited with wipe or dissolve of the Effect Transition feature. Time difference function This function allows you to preset recording, previewing, and playback of material (Timer Rec/Play mode). In Timer Rec/Play mode, in addition to being able to make various Cue Sheet unit settings, you can also sort event lists, delete Cue Sheets, and register templates. Simultaneous playback of two materials This function allows you to set and points, and the playback port of two different pieces of material, such as a material that uses effects and a key signal material. With a single operation, you can load and unload the material and then simultaneously play back the two pieces of material that you have set (Dual Play mode). -2 (E) Chapter Overview

11 -3 Overview of Edit Data Management One of the features of the control panel is its ability to manage multiple edit points, allowing recordings to be modified (through retouch editing) from the control panel. The control panel manages data equivalent to one edit cut as one page. The following are recorded on one page: and points for original edit material (referred to below as source material), and points for edit destination material (referred to below as destination material), and the source material name and page number. SRC. SRC. Source SRC. NAME SRC. SRC. PAGE NO. DST. DST. Destination Edit Data Page DST. DST. A stack of pages for the same destination material is called a program. Page numbers indicate the sequence of edit cuts in the destination material. By tracing the contents of pages according to page number sequence, you can reproduce the contents of the destination material from the beginning. Because one page corresponds to an edit cut in the destination material, the page number and overlap section of edit point data may change after editing. In the following diagram, the source material numbers indicate the editing sequence, but the pages are arranged in the time sequence of the destination material. 3 Source Materials 2 Program (Edit Data Pages) Destination Material SRC. NAME SRC. SRC. PAGE NO. DST. DST. Once editing is complete, you can immediately call up pages for modification. There is no need to play through the entire recording, as is the case with ordinary linear editing. The control panel can only manage one program at a time. A program is effective as long as a page is being created or edited through continuous editing for a single destination material. In other words, if you switch destination materials, the program for the destination material that was being edited is cleared. Chapter Overview -3 (E)

24 2- Front of the Panel Note on the liquid crystal display The liquid crystal display fitted to this unit is manufactured with high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels (at most 0.0%) may be stuck, constantly on or constantly off. In addition, over a long period of use, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such stuck pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems have been kept to the absolute minimum, but are an unavoidable characteristic of liquid crystal technology. 2-2 (E) Chapter 2 Name and Functions of Parts

100 5-2 Playback Operations Synchronized Playback Material assigned to two playback ports can be synchronized for playback. On the MAV-777, playback can be synchronized by frame between two playback ports for playback in the normal, variable, and jog playback modes. Therefore the HD VTR, in addition to normally performing simultaneous multiple broadcasting, two signals (a key source signal and key field signal) are registered for each material and broadcast as synchronized signals to the switcher. Notes Before you perform synchronized playback, set menu item 05 SYNCHRONIZE of the MAV-777 Expansion menu to ON. If you require synchronization precision of the order of fields, before you perform synchronized playback, jump to the beginning of the materials and align the frames and then begin playback. During synchronized playback, the maximum jog mode playback speed is ±x normal speed. During synchronized playback, if you switch the timecode display (LTC, TM, etc.) the change affects both ports. When you leave the synchronized playback mode, playback on both ports halts at once. Synchronized playback cannot be used in the Edit mode, and you cannot move from the synchronized playback mode to the Edit mode. Performing synchronized playback Press the PORT SELECT button for the first port that you want to use for synchronized playback (referred to hereafter as Port A ). 2 Load the material for playback and then jump to the point from where you want to playback. 3 Repeat steps and 2 for the second port that you want to use for synchronized playback (hereafter referred to as Port B ). 4 Enter the synchronized playback mode. Hold down the PORT SELECT button for Port A, then press and hold down the PORT SELECT button for Port B for at least two seconds.

103 Chapter 6 Editing 6- Overview of Editing Operations You can use the control panel to edit material on (or being recorded) the MAV-777 or to edit material from an external HD VTR. When editing in Video/Audio mode, use the control panel to handle each Player or Recorder edit points (/) as one edit unit called a page. The MAV-777 uses original data (source data to create a program (without losing or destroying any of the original material) and stores this program as new material (destination material). Notes On the main control panel, internal material created through recording or editing cannot be edited directly as destination material. When you want to edit internal material, use st Edit to create a new destination material and, after you have loaded the internal material that you want to edit as the source material, set the material start and end time data as the various recorder and player and points. Editing is possible once the internal material is assigned as destination page data. Up to 00 pages can be handled in Video/Audio mode. If you want to continue editing after reaching the 00 page limit, use st Edit to save the destination material as the source material as described above. Chapter 6 Editing 6- (E)

132 Edits Editing Using Effects Using Effects 6-6- Overview of Edits that Use Effects When you are editing in Audio Channel mode, you can edit material that contain transition effects. Listed below are differences between editing materials that employ effects and conventional editing in the Audio Channel mode. () Before performing AUTO EDIT, you must perform REVIEW of the shortest transition (A/V included). If you change the edit points or the channel after PREVIEW, then you must execute PREVIEW again. (2) The preroll interval for the points must be set in menu item 00 Preroll Time of the MAV-777 Basic menu for the player and the recorder. You cannot edit material containing effects during the first editing operation after st Edit because there is no existing destination material. (3) The recorder point must be set within frame after the end of the destination material. In other words, just as in step 2, the player and recorder points must be set together within Beginning of Material, Preroll Time Only Following Points and Material End + Frame. (4) In the PREVIEW of the transition parts, a RECORDER has been added to the conventional playback port (P), and the recording port (R) is also used. For this reason, when PREVIEW of materials that contain effects is not completed, if the RECORDER is selected, the RECORDER, P, and R buttons light. (5) The same port cannot be selected by the PLAYER and RECORDER. (6) Abbreviated editing and on-the-fly editing cannot be performed on materials that contain effects. (7) The MAV-777 Basic menu item 00 Preroll Time must be set to at least second. Notes When Audio/Video mode is selected as the channel mode in menu item 2003 Channel Selection Mode of the CP Setup mode, materials that contain effects cannot be edited. Overlay (OVL) must be set to Insert mode. To switch Edit mode, in Edit mode press the B3 (Editing Mode) key. A duration longer than the duration of the Edit mode interval cannot be set. PREVIEW of material loaded on R with Remote is not possible. In Audio Channel mode, material cannot be handled as pages. To edit material that contain effects from the control panel, the effects start transition from the points. When you are split editing, the audio starts transition from the AUDIO points (E) Chapter 6 Editing

134 DMC DMC Editing Editing Allows you to use slow motion and other variable speeds during playback and editing. DMC stands for Dynamic Motion Control. Notes Before executing AUTO EDIT, you must execute PREVIEW. After PREVIEW if the edit point and channel have been corrected, PREVIEW must be executed again. Playback in the shuttle mode cannot be conducted during DMC editing while PREVIEW is in progress. Entry cannot be performed on the channel during AUTO EDIT. A peripheral device can be selected as the player, but material using transition effects cannot be edited. In the Insert mode, S (Insert) cannot be set. In PREVIEW, in addition to the conventional playback port (P), the recording port (R) is also used as a recorder. Therefore, if the recorder is selected during DMC editing while PREVIEW is in progress, the RECORDER button, the P and R buttons (or the P2 and R2 buttons) light up. Depending on the port selected in MAV-777 Expansion menu item 37 PANEL MODE RECORDER PORT, the recording device automatically lights.
