edit decision list products

ED-1

is our Multi-Standard CMX Format Automatic EDL LISTER. Based on our TC-1 Reader/Generator it has TWO Timecode Readers and an enhanced PC serial comms 1 interface. The supplied User Friendly PC List Capture software must be installed on a host PC and generates CMX Format or Hand Logging EDL List with separate Job and Episode Sub-directories. The CMX Format EDL lists may be used for Audio Auto Conforming on AMS, DAR and other compatible Hard Disc systems. Master Programme Time can be derived from the integral Generator referenced to an external source (which allows the use of source material which has Non-Timecode inserts) or external Timecode via the second Timecode Reader. Reel Number idents are derived from User Bits or Timecode Hours. Both Monochrome and Colour PC displays are supported.

ED-2

our EDL LISTER/INSERTER uses our integral PAL/NTSC video inserter to provide up to four separate insertions, selectable from 7 sizes and 4 styles and derived from Timecode/User Bits information.

ED-1/ ED2

Timecode Generator may be free running or Jammed to the Reader input. When operating with Film our FC-1 FilmCoder may be used as a source of Timecode for the Second Timecode Reader allowing the Record In/Out time to be set to a standard value at the Start Mark. Software Filters are incorporated in the system to compensate for Timecode Dropouts/Wow caused by edits in magnetic audio stock.

Operation of EDL LISTER is very straightforward thanks to our applications specific software which guides the operator through a logical sequence of PC screens and SOFT FUNCTION KEYS. The operator is prompted to enter Job and Episode information prior starting the EDL LISTER by pressing the `START' function key. If no information is entered by the operator the lister will still run , entering DEFAULT information where appropriate.
