END TIME
Located to the right of the large timecode display, this
field indicates which timecode point the tape will roll
to or cycle back from, if a cycle command has been
specified.
MIXES
This field, occupying most of the left side of the screen
page, displays any mixes that have been saved. The
date and time indicates when the currently highlighted
mix was created.
As soon as any automated functions have been
actioned, 1 DYNAMIC LAYER appears above the
large central timecode display indicating a ‘Working
Mix’ is resident in memory. The number will be set
according to the number of mix passes and will be
affected by UNDO and REDO functions. In other
words, automation data exists which has not yet been
saved i.e. the tape has been rolled with some faders,
switches or knobs in Write. To save a mix, press
{SAVE} {MIX} {ENTER} on the Control Keyboard
and a pop-up appears with a text line to type in an
appropriate name. Press {ENTER} for the default name
of MIX 1 for the first mix, or type in a name and press
{ENTER}. The DYNAMIC LAYER flag will then
disappear.
If a trim or more automated actions are made, the
DYNAMIC LAYER flag appears once more. If the
{SAVE} {MIX} {ENTER} procedure is followed
again, the new data will overwrite the previous mix in
the same manner as the SAVE function works on a
normal word processor. Use {SAVE} {MIX}
{AS NEW} {ENTER} instead, to avoid overwriting the
previous mix. The name pop-up will appear as before.
Central large timecode display
Displays the current timecode for the master machine.
Automation status bar (top right)
Indicates whether there is any static or dynamic data in
the system memory that could be saved to the hard
drive. If the bar is blank then there is nothing to save.
• STATIC DATA
Indicates that some non-automated controls have
different static settings compared to the current mix
and that those settings can be saved.
• (New) # DYNAMIC LAYER
Indicates that some unsaved automated moves are in
memory. The # indicates how many layers have been
made.
START TIME
Located to the left of the large timecode display, this
field indicates the start time from where the tape will
roll or has rolled or cycled from. If a cue has been
specified, its name or default number will be displayed
instead, e.g.
{PLAY} {CUE} 2 {CUE} 11 {ENTER}
Note:
If a Pre-Roll time is defined, the START TIME field will take
account of this in the time it displays.
