Lafayette Instrument Cut-Up Editing System

The Cutup Editor provides the functions to use signals from the Bearclaw signal source to produce
edited tapes automatically. The Cutup Editor system was designed to be used in a variety of ways.
The Cutup Editor controls up to four VCR’s that are switched into record when their “tone” is present.
The Cutup Editor works with tapes that were recorded with signals from the Bearclaw, with tapes that
have been audio dubbed after recording with the Bearclaw, or with “live” video by connecting the
Bearclaw directly to the TONE IN connector. The Cutup Editor controls one to four VCR’s equipped
with Panasonic’s 5-pin edit connector (see specifications section on page 7 for compatible VCR’s list).
The Cutup Editor can also be used to make duplicates on VCR’s not used for “tone” editing. By
selecting “duplication mode” any unused tone’s VCR can make a duplicate tape while doing the tone
edits. By selecting duplication mode for all the VCR’s, four copies can be made at once.

CUT-UP EDITOR OVERVIEW:
The LO BAT indicator (Figure 1, #4) will light when the batteries need replacing. To replace batteries,
remove bottom cover by removing three Phillips head screws holding it in place. Replace all the
batteries (3—AA’s) with new alkaline type and replace the cover and screws. The batteries should last
approximately 200 hours of continuous use when fresh. The Bearclaw will operate for about 20 hours
after the LO BAT indicator lights. When the switch lights are not blinking the batteries are too low to
produce tone signal.
