About the Video Edit Suite Software

ESAM II
The 03D Video Edit Suite supports only ESAM (Editing Suite Audio Mixers) Serial II Pro-
tocol-Extended. See page 28 for a list of supported commands.

Video Edit Suite Functions

This sections lists the new functions provided by the 03D Video Edit Suite software.
Crossfade
Crossfades can be performed over the number of frames specified by the ESAM II com-
mands sent from the editor. ESAM II allows you to specify from between 0 to 32,767 frames
in single frame steps (1,365 seconds at 24 frames/second). The maximum frame value
depends on the editor being used. Audio control accuracy is within one frame (only when
no other 03D functions are being used).
Local Switch
Using Local mode, which works only when the CH 1–16 or 17–24/Stin pages are displayed,
the channel [SEL] buttons can be used to set channels to ignore incoming ESAM II com-
mands. When a [SEL] button's indicator is off, that channel responds to incoming ESAM II
commands. When it's flashing, the channel is in Local mode and ignores ESAM II com-
mands. See CH 1-16 & 17-24/Stin Pages on page 21 for more information.
Three Setup Memories
Video Edit Suite settings such as SOURCE/MACHINE ASSIGN, FRAME TYPE, FADER
MODE, and reference levels for the auto-level setting function can be stored in the TO EDI-
TOR SETUP MEMORY (1, 2, 3). See MIDI/HOST Page on page 14 for more information.
Crossfade Patterns & Curves
One of seven crossfade patterns can be assigned to each source (channel), and one of three
curves can be applied to sources globally. See CrossFade Page on page 16 for more informa-
tion.
Limit Level Setting
The fade out level or "floor" can be set to from 0 dB to minus infinity. See MIDI/HOST Page
on page 14 for more information.
Automatic Level Setting
By reading the level of the test tone at the beginning of a reel (tape), the gain is set automat-
ically so that the nominal level set by the user corresponds to the output level. The adjustable
range is from –18 dB to +18 dB. If the level exceeds this range and cannot be controlled by
the 03D, a warning message appears. For channels configured as a stereo pair, only the left
channel is used for level sensing. The level determined for the left channel is also applied to
the right channel. Due to circuitry limitations, the levels may vary between channels. See
MIDI/HOST Page on page 14 for more information.
