Pre-Roll
MENU | Machine Setup | Preferences | Pre-Roll
The Pre-Roll function sets the amount of time that the TCR plays (or “rolls”) prior to the edit in-
point (during an Auto-Record and Auto Review cycle).

Pre-roll Interval
Adjustable from
0 to 10 seconds
With videotape editing systems, this interval is used to synchronize VTRs, but with the TCR having
no tape transport, the pre-roll time is typically used to hear a portion of audio in context, just prior to
an edit in-point — or to allow time for tape machines in the system to reach speed.
Use the following steps to set the pre-roll interval.
1. On the Setup Preferences Menu, select item 1 (PRE-ROLL). The current pre-roll interval
is highlighted.
2. Select the desired pre-roll interval. The range is from NONE (no pre-roll) to 10 seconds.
Post-Roll
MENU | Machine Setup | Preferences | Post-Roll
The Post-Roll function sets the amount of time that the TCR plays (or “rolls”) after the edit out-point
(during an Auto-Record and Auto-Review cycle).
05:00 10:00 15:00 20:00 25:00 30:00 35:00

Post-roll Interval
Adjustable from
0 to 10 seconds

interval is highlighted.

setting is highlighted.
