TCR Series UserManual Operations 4-9
Selecting Pre-roll and Post-roll Duration
MENU | Machine Setup | Preferences | Pre-Roll, Post-Roll
Pre-Roll and Post-Roll values can be set so that certain record and play operations start ahead of the
Edit-In point and stop after the Edit-Out point. This allows listening to the surrounding audio and
crossfades during Auto Recording or Reviewing operations.
For example, if the Pre-Roll value is set to 10 seconds and the Post-Roll to 5, and you start an Auto
Record, the transport jumps to a point 10 seconds ahead of the Edit-In point and begins playing. At
the Edit-In point, armed tracks are recorded until the Edit-Out point is reached. The transport will
continue to play for 5 seconds past the Edit-Out point.
Press REVIEW to play between the Pre-Roll and Post-Roll times.
Values for Pre-Roll and Post-Roll can be set independently from NONE to 10 Seconds in 1 sec
increments.
Auto Record
Arm the desired tracks, set the desired Edit-In point and Edit-Out point, then press AUTO to place
the TCR in automatic record mode. In this “hands-off” mode, the system pre-rolls, then goes into
record at the selected Edit-In point. It exits from record at the selected Edit-Out point, and continues
to play for the post-roll interval. It then stops and relocates to the Edit-Out point. You can press
STOP or PLAY during Auto-Record to cancel the auto function.
Recording from the File List
From the File List, press REC + PLAY to create a new file in the current directory. The Transport
Screen appears, and the file begins recording at the time code indicated by the DEFAULT TIME
selection on the Machine Setup | Preferences menu on the tracks indicated by DEFAULT TRACKS
in the same menu. Press STOP to stop recording and return the system to the File List.
Playback
Locating Audio in the File
There are three ways to use the transport to locate audio in an open file: using the fast-forward/rewind
buttons, using the wheel to jog and using the wheel to shuttle.
Jog Mode
When the shuttle button is not illuminated, the speed of the wheel determines the speed and direction
of the transport. Speed can be controlled from approximately .1X to 2X in the forward or reverse
direction. This “scrub” capability allows accurate positioning of the transport for both audible cueing
and time code positioning. Once the speed drops below .1X the pause indicator illuminates to
indicate the transport is paused. If the wheel is not moved within three seconds, the transport
switches from pause to stopped.
