Making input signal selections for individual channels with the numeric buttons

Press one of the IN, OUT, AUDIO IN or AUDIO OUT button while holding down the ENTRY button. Repeat steps 2 to 4 to set the remaining edit points.
Setting an edit point with the numeric buttons
Press any of the IN, OUT, AUDIO IN, and AUDIO OUT buttons. When the edit point is set, it appears on the editing data display.
Press the desired INSERT button ([F4] (INS TC), [F5] (INS VIDEO), [F6] (INS AUDIO)). Press the RECORDER button or PLAYER button, to select the VTR on which you will set the edit point. The button you pressed lights.
With the numeric buttons, enter data into the data entry window. For example, to input 01H00M30S00F, enter 1, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0. (Leading zeros are not required. If the entered value has fewer than eight digits, pressing the SET button sets the leading digits to zero.)
About automatic split edit point setting Split editing requires a total of eight edit points: four edit points for video editing (IN and OUT points for both the recorder and player VTRs) and four edit points for audio editing (AUDIO IN and OUT points for both the recorder and player VTRs). However, as soon as you set five edit points, the VTR automatically sets the remaining three points. For example, if you set three edit points for video (or audio) and two for audio (or video), the remaining three points are automatically set, regardless of whether these points are for the recorder or player. In the following example, the points enclosed in a box have been set manually and the AUDIO OUT point for the recorder VTR, and the AUDIO IN and OUT points for the player VTR have been set automatically. Note that whether set manually or automatically, all edit points can be changed or deleted at any time.

Function Selects whether the CTL counter operates in 12-hour display mode or 24-hour display mode. +/12H: 12-hour display mode 24H: 24-hour display mode Note In the 12-hour display, the tens digit of the hours value is dropped.

TCG MODE select

[preset] regene auto
Selects the time code to which the internal time code generator synchronizes. preset: By an operation on the front panel or by remote control from a device connected to the REMOTE 1-IN (9P) connector, the initial value of the time code generated by the internal time code generator can be preset. regene: The internal time code generator is synchronized (regene) to the time code values read by the internal time code generator. auto: Operates in regene mode when either assemble or insert mode is selected and operates in preset mode when any other mode is selected. If item 606 is set to regene, this selects the source of the synchronization of the time code generated internally. int-LTC: When the time code played back from the time code track on the tape is used. int-VITC: When the time code played back from the AUX data in the video signal on the tape is used. ext-LTC: When the external time code input to the TIME CODE IN connector is used. SDI-VITC: When the VITC input to the HD SDI INPUT connector is used. SDI-LTC: When the LTC input to the HD SDI INPUT connector is used. Selects the regenerate signal when the time code generator is in regenerate mode (when item 606 is set to regene) or during auto edit mode. TC & UB: The time code signal and user bits signal are both regenerated. TC: The time code signal is regenerated. UB: The user bits signal is regenerated. This selects the way in which the time code advances. free run: Regardless of the operating mode of this unit, the time code advances all the time that the power is on. rec run: The time code advances only during recording. Note When using this setting, set item 606 to preset.

When installing, the installation space must be secured in consideration of the ventilation and service operation. Do not block the ventilation slots at the left side and right side panels, and vents of the fans. Leave a space around the unit for ventilation. Leave more than 40 centimeters of space in the rear of the unit to secure the operation area. When the unit is installed on the desk or the like, leave at least four centimeters of space in the left and right sides. Leaving 40 centimeters or more of space above the unit is recommended for service operation.
(Mass of this unit : approx. 30 kg)
Moreover, an air flow that is effective in cooling the unit is essential. If the ventilation is not enough, the unit may be damaged because of an increase of the internal temperature. n This unit is air-cooled by the fans. The operation with the upper lid is removed affects the air cooling by the fans. Complete the work in a short time as possible when operating the unit for inspection with the upper lid removed. If it takes a long time, blow to the unit by an electric fan to cool the unit.

1-11-10. Compatibility of System Bank Data
The data saved in a Memory Stick on the unit is also available for other SRW-5000/5500. However, the data cannot be loaded to the current settings of another unit in some cases due to options or other reasons. If the data cannot be read, check the details of the system bank data of the unit from which the data is read. (Refer to Section 1-11-9.) m. The system bank data saved in SRW-5500 whose recording format is HDCAM cannot be loaded to the current settings of SRW-5000. The system bank data saved in SRW-5500 whose recording format is AUTO can be loaded to the current settings of SRW-5000. In this case, AUTO is displayed on the sub LCD, but it is impossible to record on the HDCAM formatted tape.

For each reference signal of this unit, either of an external reference video signal from the REF. INPUT 1 connector or input video signal from the HD SDI INPUT A connector is automatically selected according to the setting of setup menu ITEM-005, and the operation mode (PB/EDIT/REC) of this unit. (Refer to the table 1-13-1 below.) n When the setup menu ITEM-005 is set to external, be sure to input the external reference video signal to the REF. INPUT 1 connector. The record might not be correctly done. Alarm Display for Video Input Signal and Reference Signal Blink of the STOP button The button blinks when the reference signal is not locked to an input video signal. (This function can be canceled in the setup menu ITEM-102.). When the setup menu ITEM-005 is set to input: The STOP button blinks when the signal is not input to the HD SDI INPUT A connector or when a different signal from the selected system is input. When the setup menu ITEM-005 is set to external: The STOP button blinks when no reference signal is input to REF. INPUT 1 connector or when the different reference video signal (REF. INPUT 1) from the system is input. When the setup menu ITEM-005 is set to auto: The STOP button blinks in either of the following cases. In the REC/EDIT mode, when no signal is input to the HD SDI INPUT A connector or when a different signal from the selected system is input. In the PB mode, when no reference signal is input to REF. INPUT 1 connector or when no reference video signal (REF. INPUT 1) is input.
