Pre Roll
The Pre Roll Time set in MCS Preferences can be used with Locate and Cycle. Pre
Roll places the transport an extra amount in front of the Locate To or Cycle From
time to allow the automation system to lock to timecode correctly before reaching the
Locate To or Cycle From time.
Pre Roll can also be useful when Safety Nets
are enabled. If the Safety Net times are
matched to the Cycle times (e.g. using the
same Labels), then Pre Roll will allow some
audio to be heard immediately before the
Safety Net start time so that the changeover
can be heard in context.
To use the Pre Roll Time click the Use Pre
Roll Time check box so that an X is shown.
To change the Pre Roll Time click the Pre Roll
Time button. The MCS Presets page will be
displayed, change the Pre Roll Time as
required and Exit from Preferences.
Post Roll
The Post Roll Time set in MCS Preferences can be used with Cycle. Post Roll
causes the transport to continue playing by an extra amount after the Cycle To time
has been reached. When the Cycle To time plus the Post Roll is reached then the
transport will rewind back to the Cycle From time (minus Pre Roll).
Post Roll is useful for preventing sudden transitions at the Cycle To time and can
also be useful when Safety Nets are enabled. If the Safety Net times are matched to
the Cycle times (e.g. using the same Labels), then Post Roll will allow some audio to
be heard immediately after the Safety Net end time so that the changeover can be
heard in context.
To use the Post Roll Time click the Use Post Roll Time check box so that an X is
shown.
To change the Post Roll Time click the Pre/Post Roll Time button. The MCS Presets
page will be displayed. Change the Post Roll Time as required and Exit from
Preferences.
Roll Back
Roll Back is the amount by which the transport is moved back when the ROLL BACK
key is pressed.
The Roll Back time is set with Encore Plus and Roll Back will not operate if Encore
Plus is not active.
