The TIME key toggles the focus between the Locate To time and the list of Labels
each time it is pressed. Use the trackball or the keyboard to adjust the timecode
manually, press the CANCEL key to undo changes to the timecode.
Click the Locate button, press the LOC key, press the Enter key or press the Play
key.
The transport will wind or rewind to the required timecode point. If the Play key was
used, it will drop into play.
The Label List can also be used to create or edit a Label if there is no Label with the
required timecode section.
Cycle
Cycle is used to continuously play between two timecode points (Cycle From and
Cycle To) and rewinds the transport when the end point is reached.
To Cycle click on the Cycle icon on the Encore screen. The CYCLE key will flash and
the MCS Labels dialogue box will be displayed on the Encore screen showing the
current Label List.
There are now two methods of deciding the cycle points: Auto Cycle or Cycle Labels.
Auto Cycle
This uses the last play and stop timecode points. The Auto Cycle From and To points
are updated every time the PLAY and STOP keys are pressed, so the play point can
be updated at any time while the transport is already in Play by pressing the PLAY
key.
While the CYCLE key is flashing, press the CYCLE key again or the PLAY key. The
CYCLE key will illuminate steady and the transport will now cycle between the two
points. The other transport keys will indicate the transport status (i.e. rewind, play,
stop, etc.). This will continue until a different transport command is issued.
If the Stop point is in front of the Play point then the Stop point will be used as the
Cycle From and the Play point will be used as the Cycle To (if, for instance, the
transport is re-wound and stopped ahead of the Play point).
Cycle Labels
The Labels used for the cycle points can be selected from the MCS Labels dialogue
box or by entering Label numbers on the keyboard.
To select Labels from MCS Labels dialogue box highlight the required pair of Labels.
Click the Cycle button, press the CYCLE key, press the PLAY key or press the Enter
key on the keyboard. The CYCLE key will illuminate steady and the transport will now
cycle between the two points. The other transport keys will indicate the transport
status (i.e. rewind, play, stop, etc.). This will continue until a different transport
command is issued.
