About this Operation Manual

This section describes how to use this Operation Manual, which serves as a
guide to using the MAVE-F555 Editing Panel.

Purpose and intended readership of this manual

This Operation Manual describes the parts of the MAVE-F555 and their
functions, preparations, and general operations which you will need to
understand in order to use the MAVE-F555.
By using the Multi Access Video Disk Recorder MAV-555 together with the
MAVE-D555 or BVE-series Editor, you can easily create a linear-like
nonlinear editing system, or an edit/broadcast system with the MAV-555 as a
line acceptor in combination with a player. In this arrangement, the MAVE­F555 acts as a controller for the MAV-555, MAVE-D555 and BVE-series
Editor as external devices. This operation manual is written based on the
assumption that you already have a basic understanding of how these external
devices function and how to use them.
When using the MAVE-F555, read this manual in conjunction with the
manuals supplied with the external devices connected to the MAVE-F555.

8 (E) About this Operation Manual

1-1 MAVE-F555 Overview

The MAVE-F555 is a dedicated editing panel intended for use with the
MAV-555 Multi Access Video Disk Recorder and MAVE-D555 or BVE­series editor that provides a range of functions that are efficient and easy to
use. The MAVE-F555 provides the following basic functions.

• File search, display, and selection functions for material on the MAV-555

• For edited material and material in course of editing on the MAV-555, cut

insertion, delete, and other nonlinear editing functions (independent
editing of the V/A1/A2/A3/A4 channels is possible)

• Background operation function using a spare MAV-555 port (recording
using the background port or playback of MAV-555 internal material)

• Expanded editor functions with the MAVE-D555 or BVE-series editor.

Notes

• When using the MAVE-F555 Ver. 2.30, you must use the MAV-555,
MAV-555A, MAV-555SS, or MAV-777 Ver. 2.32, and the MAVE-D555
Version 1.30.

• For reasons of simplicity, in this manual we refer to the MAV-555,
MAV-555A, MAV-555SS (SD mode), and MAV-777 as the MAV-

555.

Chapter 1 Overview

Chapter 1 Overview 1-1 (E)

1-2 Principal Features

1-2 Principal Features

Linear editing support function

The MAV-555 handles material in units referred to as files. Therefore, to carry
out recording or playback using the MAV-555, operations corresponding to
loading a tape on a VTR are required, that is, creating a new file (for new
recording) or selecting an already recorded file (assignment). Using the
MAVE-F555, you can carry out operations which cannot be carried out from a
BVE-series editor, selecting or creating files on the MAV-555, and deleting
files. For a file on the MAV-555 selected using the MAVE-F555, you can
immediately use the search dial on the MAVE-D555 or BVE-series editor to
carry out a search.

Nonlinear editing functions

By using the MAVE-F555 with a MAVE-D555 or BVE-series editor to
operate the MAV-555, nonlinear operations such as adding or deleting cuts
(not possible with the conventional BVE-series alone) can be carried out. For
editing, you can select only the required channels from the V/A1/A2/A3/A4
channels. You can also use the cut jump function which allows you to cue up
sequentially to cut points in material being edited.

Background operations

Recorder selection function

Using the MAV-555 in BVE mode, there is a spare port not used for editing.
For example, if the MAV-555 is in the 2 input/2 output port configuration, the
R2 port of the MAV-555 is not used for editing, and is a spare port. Such a
“background port” can be controlled from the MAVE-F555. When the
background port is a recording port, you can use the port for recording
operations, and when a playback port, you can use the port for playback or
broadcasting operations on MAV-555 internal material.

When editing with an editing system of an MAV-555 and MAVE-D555 or
BVE-series editor, the following system configurations/connectors are
required:
(1) with the VTR as player and the MAV-555 as recorder, for creating the
editing result file in the MAV-555, and (2) with the MAV-555 as player and the
VTR as recorder, for returning the completed MAV-555 internal file to the VTR.
Using the recorder selection function, you can provide both of these with a
single system configuration/connection, switching by a simple MAVE-F555
button operation (pressing the MAV key or VTR key).
Depending on the settings in the MAV-555 setup menu, the devices/ports
controlled (by the P1 and P2 keys) when the MAVE-F555 MAV key is
selected, and the devices/ports controlled when the VTR key is selected can be
assigned freely. Further, depending on the MAV/VTR selection, the internal
connections of the MAVE-F555 RS-422 ports (IN1/IN2/OUT1/OUT2) can be
switched, and at the same time the connection switching status can be notified
from the A/V SEL OUT connector. Integrated use of these operations allows
you a system configuration, which as described above is characterized as
“nonlinear editing t transferring completed material to VTR,” and also
allows the use of other unique configurations.

1-2 (E) Chapter 1 Overview

Support for connection of multiple MAVE-F555 units to a single MAV-555

Using the TO MAV (PARALLEL I/O) connector of the MAVE-F555, you can
connect more than one MAVE-F555 to a single MAV-555, and with different
MAVE-F555 units you can easily control different ports of the MAV-555.
For example, when the MAV-555 has a 1 input/3 output configuration, you
can configure a distribution system so that while recording on a line input to
the MAV-555, you can carry out file assignments on the three ports P1 to P3
from the three corresponding MAVE-F555 units.

Chapter 1 Overview 1-3 (E)

1-3 Changes from Version 1.00

1-3 Changes from Version 1.00

1-3-1 Version 1.00 to 1.10 Changes

Cut Trimming

You can now trim the IN point and OUT point after executing the edit when
operating and editing a material captured on the MAV-555 using the MAVE­F555 and a MAVE-D555 or a BVE-series editor. Either the results of previous
linear edit results from a BVE-series editor, or the nonlinear edit results from
the MAV-555 can be used for trimming operations.

Split Editing

When the MAV-555 is used in the BVE mode, with one edit different IN
points can be set for editing each channel for the Video and Audio channels.

Clearing IN and OUT Points

One setting now clears IN and OUT points.

Clearing Files Stored with the MEMORY Key

Files stored with the MEMORY key can now be cleared.

Improved Cue-up Points Following Edit Execution

In Version 1.00 the IN/OUT points specified for the target file on the Recorder
port were cleared immediately after edit execution, but in Version 1.10 new IN
points are set like cue-up points immediately after edit execution.

Successive Cut Jumps

When executing cut jumps with the [ B? ] or [ ?b ] keys by repeatedly pressing
either key, without conducting cue-up immediately cue-up will now execute at
the time specified from the end of key operation.

Revised Error Messages

Error messages have been revised along with the revised functions.

Improved Superimposed Text Display

The superimposed display was improved as each function was revised or new
functions added.

1-4 (E) Chapter 1 Overview

1-3-2 Version 1.10 to 2.00 Changes

MAVE-D555 Compatibility

Connection to the MAVE-D555 has been enabled. The MAVE-D555 contains
all the functions of the BVE-series editor to provide continuity and also
provides new nonlinear editing capability.

Support for Effect Editing

Corresponds to the DISS, WIPE, and AUDIO keys with the MAVE-D555
connected.

Voice Over Editing

With the MAVE-D555 connected, voice over editing can be conducted. Sound
can be inserted after a material at the end of editing.
For more details about voice over editing, read the MAVE-D555 operation
manual.

Trimming Functions Added

Editing Operation Improved

Support for External VTRs

Under special conditions, trimming on two screens was possible. Now after
entering the trimming mode, one screen can be split into two and you can
confirm the borders of the cut that you want to trim. Now an added trim can
also be executed for an effect result. Furthermore, while trimming in the LIFT
mode in Ver. 1.10 BLACK/MUTING was inserted in place of deleted
intervals, but from Ver. 2.00 the adjacent cuts is extended after interval
deletion.

• Before an edit is executed, a PREVIEW for confirmation or a REPLAY to
confirm the result of editing immediately after an edit can be executed.

• For some special editing, during PREVIEW and play back execution you can
capture the desired parts of a material. When PREVIEW is not executing,
PREVIEW is conducted automatically during editing.

• An OPEN END Edit is now possible without setting an OUT point.

An external VTR can now be selected as a Player or Recorder. Further, while a
VTR is selected as Recorder, it can be used for Insert or Assemble 1st Edit
editing.

Improved Cut Jumps

In Ver. 1.10 cut jumps could not be executed for unedited files, but in Ver.

2.00 cut jumps are possible by detection of non-continuous LTC points.

Chapter 1 Overview 1-5 (E)

1-3 Changes from Version 1.00

1-3-3 Version 2.00 to 2.10 Changes

Supports Insertion Editing of Text and Graphics

For details, see the MAVE-D555 manual.

Functional Improvements when Using the Editing Fader Panel

• When setting the recording level when the AUDIO key of the MAVE-F555 is
lit and a Player port is selected, the fader is enabled. Therefore, before
performing a PREVIEW or EXECUTE/REC, the level can be confirmed.

• When the Editing Fader Panel is enabled (the AUDIO key is lit), information
can be superimposed on the monitor for confirmation.

1-3-4 Version 2.10 to 2.20 Changes

Supports EDL Export from BZMA-E555

When the MAV-555 is used as a recorder during editing and used in parallel
with the BZMA-E555 file transfer program (sold separately), it is now
possible to use the MAVE-F555 to output EDL files (.edl) of editing results in
the SONY BVE-9100 format. Also, when the VTR is used as a player during
editing, it is possible to enter a tape’s reel name.

For details about how to enter a tape’s reel name, see the “Setting a Reel
Name” section of the MAVE-D555 manual.

1-6 (E) Chapter 1 Overview

1-3-5 Version 2.20 to 2.30 Changes

Time Tracking Function

When you finish an editing procedure, the recorder and player OUT points are
automatically moved as the following IN points. Further, if the recorder IN
point is modified through a new editing operation, the player IN point is
modified automatically (automatic time tracking). Even if you modify the
player IN point and time tracking is lost, you can manually return it to its
original position (manual time tracking).

For details, see "Time tracking function" (page 3-55).

REC OFF Function

When editing with a specified OUT point or duration, or editing without
specifying an OUT point (OPEN END Edit), pressing the MAVE-F555
EXECUTE/REC key modifies or sets the OUT point and ends the current
recording.

Saving and Recalling Cut Point Information

When the MAV-555 is turned off, cut point and other such editing information
is cleared and cannot be retrieved. However, you can save and recall the cut
point information by pressing the STORE key while holding the SHIFT key.

For details, see Section 3-2-2 "Save and Recall Cut Point Information" (page
3-14).

Removing Recorder Port Restrictions

When erforming the following operations, it is now possible to specify the
MAV-555 RP port or a VTR as the recorder port.

• Adjusting the recording level using the Editing Fader Panel.

• Performing audio channel mix or swap editing.

Video Support of Voice Over Editing

Voice over editing can be performed and added at the end of edited material. It
is now also possible to add video in the same manner.

For details, refer to Section 2-2-2 "Voice Over Editing" of the MAVE-D555
operation manual.

Chapter 1 Overview 1-7 (E)

1-3 Changes from Version 1.00

RP Port Availability

If you select [MAV] with the recorder selection function and that the MAV­555 RP port is set to the P1 key, it is possible to assign several keys to the
same port. Pressing the R or P1 key automatically switches between a
Recorder and Player file. This way, it is possible to use the RP port to perform
cut editing. You can also use the P2 port with another broadcast application for
"On Air" purposes.

File Backup Function

If the power to the MAV-555 is accidentally cut while you are editing a file,
the "Backupxxxxx" file (where xxxxx is the date, for example: 05.20-14:00) is

With the configuration shown above, the following two states can be used,
with a single button operation to switch between them: (1) the MAV-555
RP port as recorder, the VTR as player 1, and the MAV-555 P2 port as
player 2, and (2) the VTR as recorder, the MAV-555 RP port as player 1,
and the MAV-555 P2 port as player 2. This switching operation is referred
to as the MAVE-F555 “recorder selection function.”
In state (1), you can exploit the features of the MAV-555 for nonlinear
editing (for material on the recorder, cut jump, cut insertion, deletion, and so
on). You can seamlessly carry out operations such as using the BVE-series
editor search dial to search for an edit point, and using the MAVE-F555 keys
to specify edit points or execute editing, thus realizing extremely smooth
nonlinear editing operations. On the other hand, by switching to state (2), you
can easily transfer the editing results created on the MAV-555 to a VTR.
Further, you can also carry out background recording/playback controlled
from the MAVE-F555.

Note

To be connected to the MAVE-F555, the MAV-555 must be at least version 2.10.

For details of the device connections for this example system configuration, see the
section “Connection with the TO MAV connector” (page 2-3).

3-2 Operations for Nonlinear Editing

(Operations in Cut Units)

You can use the MAVE-F555 and an MAVE-D555 or BVE-series editor to
operate the MAV-555 and conduct nonlinear editing operations such as adding
or deleting a cut (operations that were not possible with only the conventional
BVE-series editor).

Note

To carry out the nonlinear editing operations described in this section, it is
necessary to set the MAV-555 operation mode to BVE mode.

For more details, refer to the MAV-555 Operation Manual.

Definition of “Cut”

The term “cut” in this section refers to the unit in which you carry out editing,
and to the editing unit within the editing result file. For example, suppose that
using two files A and B you create the following editing result file.

File A

File B

Editing result file

(A) (B)

Here the sections (A) and (B) cut from files A and B are termed “cuts.” The
editing result file consists of the two “cuts” (A) and (B), and these parts of the
editing result file are also referred to as “cuts.”
The start and end points of each cut within the editing result file are termed
“cut points.”

Using INSERT mode, you can insert a cut at a specified position (the IN point)
on the recorder, replace a cut in a specified range (from the IN point to the
OUT point) on the recorder.

Operation in INSERT mode

The editing operation in INSERT mode depends on whether or not the
recorder OUT point is specified at the time when you execute the edit (when
you press the MAVE-F555 EXECUTE/REC key).

• When you execute the edit with three edit points set, that is, with both the
player IN point and OUT point set, and the recorder IN point only (or OUT
point only) set, the section specified on the player is inserted into the
specified position on the recorder.

• If both the IN point and OUT point are set on the player and recorder, then
when you execute the edit, the specified section on the recorder simply
replaces the specified section on the player.

Notes

• As in conventional linear editing, the OUT point is not included in the editing
interval. Therefore, the above replacement operation to include up to the last
frame of the file is not possible.

• To preform operations that included the last frame, use the ten-keys of the
MAVE-D555 to specify the end point of the file plus one frame as the OUT
point.

When the lengths of the sections specified on the player and recorder are
different, the total length on the recorder changes as a result of the editing.
However, if only the IN point on the player is set, the operation is the same as

In OVERWRITE mode, you set a total of three edit points, both IN points and
either one of the OUT points on the recorder and player, then carry out
overwrite editing.

Operation in OVERWRITE mode

The editing operation in OVERWRITE mode is as follows.

• Regardless of the order in which you set the edit points, once you have set
both player and recorder IN points and either one of the OUT points, you can
execute the edit. The fourth edit point is calculated automatically.

increased as shown in the figure below.

Notes

• As in conventional linear editing, the OUT point is not included in the editing
interval. Therefore, it is not possible to specify up to the last frame of the
recorder file to be overwritten. To overwrite up to and including the last
frame of the recorder file, leave the recorder OUT point unset, as above, and
carry out the overwriting with only the player OUT point set.
You can also use this function with a BLACK/MUTING loaded on the player
to delete up to and including the last frame of the recorder file.

• To overwrite everything up through the last frame, use the ten-keys of the
MAVE-D555 to specify the end point of the file plus one frame as the OUT
point.

3-2-9 Trimming a Cut

Overview of Trimming

After executing editing by inserting or overwriting cuts, you can use the TRIM
key to perform trimming with the IN or OUT points. You can also perform the
same operations with the results of conventional linear editing with the BVE
editor.

Note

Turning off the MAV-555 clears the cut point information. Before turning off
the MAV-555, be sure to save the cut point information of cuts that you want
to trim later.

Trimming Operation Modes

When you use the MAVE-F555 editing panel for editing, you can choose one
of the following modes: INSERT mode, OVERWRITE mode, EXTRACT
mode, and LIFT mode.
The following modes are usually used together for editing.

1 INSERT/EXTRACT Mode

Use this mode to trim and change the total duration of the file. During
trimming use the INSERT mode to move the IN point ahead of its original
position or move the OUT point behind its original position, the same as
during the normal INSERT mode. To perform the reverse, use the same
procedure in the EXTRACT mode. See page 3-42 for examples.

2 OVERWRITE/LIFT Mode

Operations in this mode do not change the total duration of the file.
During trimming use the OVERWRITE mode to move the IN point ahead
of its original position or move the OUT point behind its original position,
the same as during the normal OVERWRITE mode. To perform the
reverse, use the same procedure in the LIFT mode. See page 3-43 for
examples.

Recorder (during trimming)

When the TRIM key is pressed to start trimming, a temporary file to be used
for trimming is automatically created. The trimming operation is performed
only on this file (the Player port is not used).

Note the following points about the temporary file used for trimming:

• The channel designated for trimming uses the original material.

• Other channels use the edit material on the Recorder.

You can use the BVE editor JOG dial to search for and find a new IN point (or
OUT point) in the temporary file, and set these points with the MARK IN or
MARK OUT keys on the MAVE-F555.
During search, you can search for edit materials on channels other than the
channel targeted for editing. For example, while editing on the VIDEO
channel, you can while the file is open search for edit material on the AUDIO
channel. Conversely, while trimming on the AUDIO channel, you can search
for edit material while viewing the VIDEO channel.

When trimming the OUT point on the VIDEO channel, the temporary file is
created as shown below.

Dual Screen Trimming

When the TRIM key is pressed to start trimming and the conditions below are
satisfied, the monitor screen is split into two screens. Trimming can be
performed while viewing the borders of the cut.

• MAVE-D555 is connected.

• The Effect board (BKMA-560) must be installed.

• P2 Port must be selected for item 324 “MAVE-F555 PORT” of the MAV-

555 Expansion menu.

• MAV-555 P2 Port must not be set for PLAY.
If the above four conditions are satisfied, 2-screen trimming begins. If any of
the conditions is not satisfied, 1-port trimming is performed, just as with Ver.

Opening the Original Material of the Current Cut

Hold down the SHIFT key and press the TRIM key.
If the original material of the current cut is on the MAV-555, the material is
cued up to the same position as the current cut and opened on the MAV-555
P2 port. If the original material is from an external VTR, the material is cued
up to the external VTR position.

Note

If multiple channels are preset on the MAVE-F555 and you open the original
material of a cut, the V, A1, A2, A3, A4 order of priority is used in cueing up
the material.

and press [ ?b ] or [ B? ].
After the jump you can confirm the channel of the cut point by viewing the
channel display area of the superimposed display.

For details see “List of Superimposed Indications” (page A-5).

Notes

• Without executing a cut jump, you can use the jog dial to move to a cut
point and start trimming. However, because an IN point for one channel
could be the same as an OUT point for another channel, if you use the jog
dial to move to the point, you may be able to edit only the IN point at the
jump point. If you want to trim an OUT point, hold down the SHIFT key,
press [?b] or [B?], and then perform a cut jump to the specified OUT
point.

• As an exception, you may be able to perform a cut jump with the [B?]
key (for details, see “Cut Jumping on a Recorder Port” (page 3-11)). If
you perform this operation trimming cannot be performed at the OUT
point of the cut at the end of the file. In order to trim the OUT point of the
cut at the end of a file, hold down the SHIFT key, press [?b] or [B?],
and then perform a jump to the specified OUT point, or use the jog dial to
move to the end of the file and then perform the subsequent operation.

3-2-13 Undoing and Redoing an Editing Operation (Undo/Redo)

After editing operations such as inserting or deleting a cut, you can undo the
effect of the edit. After undoing an edit, you can then redo it.

Undoing the effect of an edit

When you use the MAVE-F555 to carry out editing on a file on an MAV-555
port, as you execute each edit a new editing result file is created. After
executing an edit, the immediately previous file is held on the MAV-555,
provided the MAV-555 is not powered off. You can thus undo the effect of the
most recent editing operation.

Notes

• When you change the file on the recorder port, this destroys the information
required for an Undo/Redo.

• When you power off the MAV-555, the file from before the last edit saved on
the MAV-555 is destroyed. Therefore, once you power off the MAV-555 it is
no longer possible to undo the last edit.

• When you undo an edit this does not restore information such as the IN and
OUT points when you did a copy. The only effect is to return the editing
result file to its state before the last editing operation.

3-3-1 MAV-555 Circuit Board Configuration and Background Port

The background port is fixed, but depends on the circuit board configuration of
the MAV-555, as follows. Note that the application of the background port is
determined by the configuration.

3-3-4 Restricting Background Port Operation

Restricting the operation of background ports prevents mishandling from the
MAVE-F555, such as recording pauses, assignment of different files during
playback, or playback pauses from external controllers during recording
(MAV-555 R2 port) or playback (MAV-555 P3 port).

Set the BG PORT sub menu to "disable" in the MAV-555 Expansion menu
item 324 "MAVE-F555 PORT". This has the effect of restricting all
background port operation from the MAVE-F555.

When this setting is disabled, if you want to pause recording, assign different
files during playback, or pause playback, you can use the controller where
recording or playback was started, or use the optional BKMA-505.

3-62 (E) Chapter 3 Operations for Linear/Nonlinear Editing

3-4 Recorder Selection Function

You can register two different ways in which operation of the keys (R, P1, and
P2 keys) in the MAVE-F555 FILE/PORT ASSIGN operation section
physically control which devices. Carry out the registration operation on the
MAV-555. On the MAVE-F555, by operating the two keys (MAV key and
VTR key) in the RECORDER SEL operation section, you can switch between
the two different settings. This function is known as the “recorder selection
function.”
By using the recorder selection function, after carrying out linear/nonlinear
editing with a VTR as player and the MAV-555 as recorder, you can easily
return the editing result file created on the MAV-555 to the VTR. This makes
it easy to configure an editing system with a single VTR and single MAV-555.

Recorder Switching with the Recorder Selection Function

When switching the Recorder with the Recorder select function, you must
press and hold down the key on the MAV or VTR for at least 2 seconds.
While the setting is switching, the indicator on the pressed key flashes, and
then you will hear a beep when the setting has finished changing. If you
release the key before you hear the beep, the setting will not be changed.
Further, if you press the MAV or VTR key too lightly, the pressed key could
continue to flash and you will have to press the MAV or VTR key again to
restore operation.

3-64 (E) Chapter 3 Operations for Linear/Nonlinear Editing

Example settings

Here is an example when you assign several keys to the same port.

Recorder FILE/PORT ASSIGN Port assigned to control (setting of MAV-555
selection operation section Expansion menu item 324, “MAVE-F555
function PORT”)

R-SEL R key R1P1 (fixed)
MAV P1 key R1P1

P2 key EXT

If you make the settings above, pressing the R or P1 key automatically
switches the MAV-555 RP port file between a Recorder file and a Player 1
file. This way, it is possible to use one RP port to perform cut editing on
MAV-555 material as well as external VTR material. Because the P2 port is
not used at this time, you can use another broadcast application for "On Air"
purposes.

Furthermore, if you are using the R2/P3 port from another controller or
application and want to restrict operation from the MAVE-F555 or MAVE­D555, see Section 3-3-4 "Restricting Background Port Operation" (page 3-60).

Notes

• If you assign several keys to the same port, you cannot perform any of the
following:

- Editing with effects (If the Player BUS is set to MATT or AUX, this editing

is possible)

For details, refer to the MAVE-D555 operation manual.

- When the MAV-555 recorder port is selected, adjusting the recording level
with the Editing Fader Panel (when the MAV-555 internal port is specified
as the Player)

- DMC editing (when the MAV-555 internal port is specified as the Player)

- Dual screen trimming

• To undo and redo edits, you must press the R key and select the recorder port.

Notification Function

When you switch with the MAV key and VTR key in the RECORDER SEL
operation section, the RS-422 switcher connection configuration of the
MAVE-F555 (the connection configuration of the IN1/IN2/OUT1/OUT2
connectors) is also switched (simple switcher function). Since the open
collector output from the AV SEL OUT connector is also switched, the
connection configuration can be externally notified.
The following table shows the connection configuration and output from the
AV SEL OUT connector as the MAV key and VTR key are switched.

3-4-3 Example Setting and Connections

Using the MAV-555 settings described in Section 3-4-1 together with the
simple switcher function and connection configuration external notification
function described in Section 3-4-2, can provide two different operation and
connection configurations, which you can switch between with a “one-touch”
operation. For example, the following is a possible connection and setting
configuration.

3-4 Recorder Selection Function

Example settings

Recorder FILE/PORT ASSIGN Port assigned to control (setting of MAV-555
selection operation section Expansion menu item 324, “MAVE-F555
function PORT”)

MAV P1 key EXT (controls VTR)

VTR P1 key R1P1 (controls RP port of MAV-555)

When MAV key is selected

You can carry out linear/nonlinear editing with the VTR as player and the
MAV-555 as recorder. The following devices are controlled from the MAVE­D555 or the BVE-series editor and the MAVE-F555.
Player 1 : VTR
Player 2 : MAV-555 P2 port

When VTR key is selected

You can return an editing result file created on the MAV-555 to the VTR. The
following devices are controlled from the MAVE-D555 or the BVE-series
editor and the MAVE-F555.
Player 1 : MAV-555 RP port
Player 2 : MAV-555 P2 port

P2 key P2 (controls P2 port of MAV-555)

P2 key P2 (controls P2 port of MAV-555)

3-4-4 VTR Constant Settings

When you use the Recorder Select function, you must set the MAV-555 “VTR
Constant” on the BVE editor for both the MAV and VTR switching ports. For
example, if you are configuring a system with the connection described in
Section 3-4-3 “Example Setting and Connections” (page 3-67), because
switching can be performed for MAV-F555 and VTR switching by pressing
the R or P1 key, the VTR Constant for the MAV-555 must be set for both
ports, R and P1.
However, when using the MAVE-D555, MAV-555 Expansion menu item 325,
“MAVE-F555 EXT VTR CONTROL” is the only applicable item.

For details about the MAV-555 VTR Constant, see the MAV-555 Operation Manual.
For details about setting the VTR Constant on a BVE editor, see the BVE Editor
Operation Manual for the BVE editor that you are using.

Notes

• After you set the VTR Constant for the BVE editor when you configure the
system, the constant is enabled and does not require setting again with the
Recorder Select function.

• When you use the Recorder Select function, the version of the BVE-series
editor required could be different, depending on the VTR type. For details,
contact the supplier where you purchased the equipment, or contact your
Sony representative for assistance.

3-68 (E) Chapter 3 Operations for Linear/Nonlinear Editing

Using the TO MAV (PARALLEL I/O) connector of the MAVE-F555, and
connecting multiple MAVE-F555 units to a single MAV-555, you can
easily control different ports of the MAV-555 from the MAVE-F555 units.
For example, when the MAV-555 is in the 1 input/3 output configuration,
while using the MAV-555 for recording from a line, you can configure a
distribution system, with the three ports P1 to P3 subject to file assignment
and control from respective MAVE-F555 units.

Chapter 4 Operations When Multiple MAVE-F555 Units Are Connected to the MAV-555

Chapter 4 Operations When Multiple MAVE-F555 Units Are Connected to the MAV-555 4-1 (E)

4-1 Allowed Operations

When using the TO MAV (PARALLEL I/O) connector of the MAVE-F555 to
connect the MAVE-F555 to the MAV-555, the allowed operations from the
MAVE-F555 are restricted to the following.

(1) Using the –/+ keys in the FILE/PORT ASSIGN operation section to load a

file on the port being controlled

(2) Using the keys in the BACK GROUND operation section for playback

start/stop (when the port being controlled is a playback port) or recording
start/stop (when the port being controlled is a recording port)

Notes

• When using the TO MAV (PARALLEL I/O) connector to connect the
MAVE-F555 to the MAV-555, it is not possible to carry out operations other
than those listed above, such as nonlinear editing operations. In order to carry
out all of the operations described in Chapter 3, the MAVE-F555 must be
connected to the MAV-555 using the TO MAV connector of the MAVE­F555.

• When connecting multiple MAVE-F555 units to a single MAV-555, it is
possible to combine an MAVE-F555 connected to the MAV-555 through the
TO MAV (PARALLEL I/O) connector and an MAVE-F555 connected to the
MAV-555 through the TO MAV connector. However, in this case the MAV­555 must be in BVE mode, and moreover only one MAVE-F555 unit may be
connected to the MAV-555 through the TO MAV connector. Also, when you
make connections in this way, while the MAVE-F555 connected to the
MAV-555 through the TO MAV connector can be used for all of the
operations described in Chapter 3, the only operations allowed for the
MAVE-F555 connected to the MAV-555 through the TO MAV
(PARALLEL I/O) connector are those listed as (1) and (2) above.

• If you connect both the TO MAV (PARALLEL I/O) connector and the TO
MAV connector of a single MAVE-F555 to a single MAV-555, only the
connection through the TO MAV connector is enabled.

4-2 Ports Being Controlled

When you connect the MAVE-F555 to the MAV-555 using the TO MAV
(PARALLEL I/O) connector of the MAVE-F555, the port controlled is
determined by the PARALLEL I/O wiring. Therefore, it is not possible to
select the port being controlled from the MAVE-F555.

For details of the pin assignments of the TO MAV (PARALLEL I/O) connector, refer to
the MAVE-F555 Installation Manual.
