RDR-GX7 Technical Notes Chapter 4-2 DV Edit s Advanced Program Edit Compared to the Program Edit function, in which the tape is watched and desired scenes are selected, the Advanced Program Edit function copies the entire tape onto a DVD disc. Scenes are selected and edited on the disc itself, taking full advantage of the merits of the disc format. First, the tape is dubbed "as is" onto a DVD-RW in VR mode. In this process, Auto Scene Chaptering (see column) is performed and chapters are automatically created. In addition, since Program Dubbing can take each selected scene and automatically create a scene list based on particular chapters, unwanted scenes may be deleted and the order of scenes can be changed, enabling the creation of a highlevel edit program which can also be saved. Then, a new disc can be inserted into the RDR-GX7 and this Edit Program data can be copied onto it to enable the RDR-GX7 to create a copy of the same content onto this disc, directly from the original tape, by controlling the camcorder as the recording source. For all discs compatible with the RDR-GX7, it is possible to make any number of disc copies containing the high quality image directly from the tape. Of course, just as with Program Edit where each scene is selected, selection is possible at the IN and OUT points. Importantly, since this is a disc, chapter selection can be made using high-speed cueing, thus reducing the load on the tape (which serves as the master) during editing processes. While this type of editing is also possible on an HDD/DVD Combo Recorder, there are many cases where encoding and decoding operations are necessary when accessing the program material. However, with Advanced Program Edit, since the dubbing comes directly from the original video tape, deterioration in image quality is held to the absolute minimum, which presents a distinct advantage over editing on an HDD/DVD Combo Recorder.
