File Skip
From Stopped Mode, press Fast Forward to skip to the next file on the current Playback drive. Press
Rewind once to skip to the previous file on the current Playback drive.
During Playback, press Fast Forward (>>) to jump to the next Cue Marker (if applicable) or begin
playback of the next clip (if it exists). Press Rewind (<<) to jump to the previous Cue Marker (if ap-
plicable) or to the beginning of the current file. Immediately press Rewind (<<) again to skip to the
previous file’s last Cue Marker (if applicable) or beginning. File Skip functions will work while a clip
is playing and while it is paused.
If the last file played was a sibling file of a mono WAV take, skipping will occur between that take’s sib-
ling files rather than the default behavior of skipping between takes. When the first or final sibling file is
navigated away from, file skipping will again occur between takes.
Shuttle Playback Mode
In Shuttle Playback Mode the PIX 270i is capable of playing back at various rates in forward and in
reverse.
To immediately enter Shuttle Playback Mode from the Main View, press the Control Knob. The cued
file will begin playback at half speed (Fast Forward x1/2). Shuttle Playback Mode can also be ac-
cessed while a file is playing back or when paused by pressing the Control Knob.
When Shuttle Playback Mode is active, the OSD items ABS Time, Timecode, Filename, and
Drive Indicator are displayed in blue. Turn the Control Knob to select playback direction and rate.
The following table defines the playback directions and rates available when turning the Control
Knob in Shuttle Playback Mode.

In Shuttle Playback Mode, the playback direction and rate will be indicated on the LCD if Setup
Menu option [Display - ABS Time] is set to On. The Fast Forward (>>) and Rewind (<<) buttons will
illuminate independently to indicate the playback direction. Press the Control Knob while in Shuttle
Mode to pause playback. Press the Play () button while in Shuttle Mode to return to Playback
Mode.
Cue Marker
During Record, Playback, Pause, or Shuttle mode, press FILES + Fast Forward (>>) to set a
Cue Marker. To delete a Cue Marker, press FILES + Rewind (<<) . A dialog box appears asking
Delete Cue Marker? Cue (number), select OK to delete and Cancel to ignore. Cue Markers added
or deleted during record are applied to all available drives. Cue Markers added or deleted during
playback or shuttle mode are only applied to the current playback drive.
To quickly jump to the next or previous Cue Marker, press Fast Forward (>>) or Rewind (<<)
button. The previous Cue Marker is displayed in the lower left-hand corner of the OSD when
[On-Screen Display - Cue Marker] is On. The OSD field will be displayed in various colors depend-
ing on the current transport status: Red = Record, Green = Play, Blue = Rewind/Fast Forward/Shuttle.
Content between consecutive cue markers is referred to as a “segment”. The beginning and end
points of a file are effectively cue markers. A file with a single cue marker will have 2 segments
(From the beginning of the file to Cue 1 and from Cue 1 to the end of the file).
