Snapping events
The number displayed in the upper left portion of the display indicates the event
number which you are about to snap. Simply press the key directly below
"SNAP" wherever you want effect changes to happen. This will assign those
time code addresses to the Event List.
The upper right portion of the display shows running time code. The lower line
of the display shows the time code of the most recently snapped entry, and
allows you to clear the most recently snapped time code.
Time code formats are indicated as follows:
SV valid SMPTE Non-Drop
SDV valid SMPTE Drop Frame
E-V valid EBU
F-V valid Film
V indicates valid time code
Editing the Event List
The easiest way to develop a list in the 300 is to “SNAP” entries into the list. To
use the snap function, select OFF and turn the Soft knob to enable time code
(ON). Locate the source machine to the beginning of the section you want to
experiment with. Give yourself about a 5 second preroll and “roll tape”. Now,
press SNAP. The display should show rolling time code.
#01 _ _ _ _ 00 : 00 : 00 : 00
SNAP CLR 00 : 00 : 00 : 00
Edit #01 00 : 00 : 00 : 00
* *: New Event
Editing the list includes trimming snapped time codes, choosing the type of
automation change, and selecting the event. The EDIT function also allows you
to enter time code numbers directly into the list rather than snapping them. To
edit the event list, press the key directly below “EDIT”. The display will show:
Pressing the key directly above “#01” allows you to use the Soft knob to scroll
through the Event List to select the event number you want to edit. You will
obviously want to start with number one.
