Time Axis and Time Control Slider
The Time Axis is displayed below the play bar with the same width as the play bar. You can change
the scale of the Time Axis by moving the Time Control Slider knob up and down. The type of Time
Axis varies depending on the recording length. The relationship is as follows.
Recording Length Scale Display
0 to 1 minute Full scale
1 to 10 minutes Full scale and 1 minute
10 to 30 minutes Full scale, 1 minute, and 10 minutes
30 to 60 minutes Full scale, 1 minute, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes
1 hour or longer Full scale, 1 minute, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, and 1 hour
The Time Axis Control Slider automatically determines the applicable Time Axis from the recording
length of the current active file and updates the slider scale. For example, for a file with a recording
length of 50 minutes, four types of scales, full scale, 1 minute, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes, apply.
Thus, four levels of slider scale will be displayed. If the recording length of a file is less than 1
minute, only full scale applies. The Time Axis Control Slider therefore does not operate.
If the Time Axis is set to a scale other than full scale and the position control reaches the right end
of the play bar during playback, the position control instantly moves to the left end and the Time
Axis display is updated. The last scale mark of the Time Axis is displayed in red and the fractional
time is displayed. If you drag the position control to the left end or the right end of the play bar,
accelerated fast forward or rewind takes place, updating the scale of the Time Axis and the current
playback position.
The [Index Mark] is displayed using a red triangle on the [Time Axis]. Up to 16 index marks can be
used on each DSS file.
