The Videonics-TU (Thumbs-Up) editor allows multiple edits (up to 40) in one pass as long as the segments are used in the order in which they occur in the original tape. it controls both player and recorder through Control L to put in the desired segments and omit the unwanted.
The procedure when you wish to edit segments out of original order is:
1. Choose the initial desired segments from the original tape, using the Thumbs-up and Thumbs-down buttons to mark the start of the wanted and unwanted material.
2. Activate the edit to put them on the product tape.
3. Go back to the original tape on the player and repeat the selection with the next desired batch.
4. Edit that.
Accuracy of the edits depends on whether or not you have frame coding; with Sony’s RC code you get about 1 to 2 frames.
