14.1.4 EDIT INDEX.
The editing option enables the claenung-up of an index that contains
periods of silence or noise and non useful sound. Once the editing is
completed, the index will be saved as a new index. In the directory such
edits will be marked with a “scissors” icon.
To edit an index, first select the index to be edited from the “DIRECTORY”, press the “CENTER” key
(13), select “EDIT INDEX” and press the “CENTER” key (13) again.
Counter 1 indicates the play position inside the edited
index.
Counter 2 indicates the full length of the edited index.
Counter 3 indicates the reel play position from the start
of the original index.
Counter 4 indicates only the position of each cut from the
original index.
In this example, index 009 is selected and is shown as a tape. All edit commands are executed as
shown in the picture by the “LEFT” (10), “RIGHT” (12), “UP” (9), “DOWN” (11) and “CENTER” (13)
keys.
In addition, in the edit mode, the standard keys “REWIND” (3), “STOP” (4), “PLAY” (5) and
“FORWARD” (6) act in the same way as for the standard play mode. The “REWIND” (3) as well as the
“FORWARD” (6) key permits to skip from one cut position to another.
If markers were already present on the index, they will be shown as cut positions on the tape.
PLACING CUTS
Example: Index 009 played back
for 2 seconds and a first cut
position was made.
This can be made in 2 different ways. The first possibility is to “drop” them on the fly. Push the “PLAY”
key (5) and press the “CENTER” key (13) every time a cut position must be set.
The second possibility is to press and hold the “RIGHT” key (12). The machine goes in play mode until
the key is released. If the “LEFT” key (10) is pressed and hold, the machine goes in play reverse.
Once the key released, press the” CENTER” key (13) to show a cut position.
DELETING A CUT POSITION
Example: A second cut position was set at 3 seconds
“DELETE CUT” appears on the screen.
If a cut position needs to be removed, it can be done in 2 ways. The first is to use the skip function
with the “REWIND” (12) or “FORWARD” (10) key until the cut position is found and press the
“DELETE CUT” key. The second one is by using the “LEFT” (10) or “RIGHT” (12) key kept pressed to
approach the cut line to the play head followed by a step by step approach until the counter 4
indicates the position. Once the positioning is reached, press the “DOWN” key (11) to delete the cut.
