Control of VTRs and Disk Recorders
To control a VTR or disk recorder in the DVS-9000 system, the following
settings are required.
• Button assignment: For a VTR or disk recorder connected to the DCU 9-pin
serial port, assign a device selection button in the device control block.
• Timecode source: When using a VTR, specify a reference signal used for
determining the tape position.
For details, see “Making DCU serial port settings” (page 226) and “Making
detailed settings on the external device connected to the serial port” (page
274).
