Trimming Cut Switches
The trim functions for cut switches allow individual
cut transactions to be time-shifted earlier or later, or
erased.
Note
Automation data must already be present ahead of any
points where TRIM operations might be carried out.
1
Press {TRIM} on the panel under the TC
AUTOMATION heading above the timecode
display. The AUTO button in the middle at the top
of the GUI turns green and indicates ‘TRIM’ at the
lower left.
2
Touch {READY SETUP} to the right of the AUTO
button and it highlights.
3
Press each {CUT} button to be trimmed and note
that they do not change state. Their channel
{WRITE} buttons flash on and off red with a fast
double flash in the red part of the cycle. This
indicates that the cuts are ready to have any switch
operations recorded by the automation system.
The fast double flash serves as a reminder that
{READY SETUP} is selected.
The ready status of any switch is also displayed in
the CHANNEL GUI in the same way as when
using the ‘ABS’ mode for automating cuts.
4
Then touch {READY SETUP} to de-select it, or roll
the material in which case it will be de-selected
automatically. When {READY SETUP} is off, the
{WRITE} buttons will flash regularly without the
double flash. The regular flashing indicates the
normal automation ready mode.
5
Once the material is rolling, cuts can be adjusted in
a number ways according to the illustrations that
follow:
A - Shows the original cut actions.
B - Press and release {CUT} before original cut
point to advance the cut on-point. Press and
release {CUT} before the original off-point to
advance the cut off-point. These operations can be
performed independently in one or two passes.
C - Press and hold {CUT} from before the original
cut point, and release after to delay the cut

Automating Other Switches
The principles of operation for cut switches apply
equally to all other types of switches. They can be set
into automation ready by pressing switches on the
panel, or by touching buttons on the zoomed GUIs.
