Jogsh
The jogsh modifier is used to modify the behavior of the DREAM Console transport when acting as a master, con-
trolling slave 9-pin devices in jog or shuttle mode. The default setting is jogsh=1 .
When jogsh=0 the DREAM Console sends jog commands to the slave and then reads and chases the slave’s Time-
Code. This provides uniform picture jogging but in some cases may cause excessive variations in audio jog speed.
SYSTEM FILES
When jogsh=1 the DREAM Console sends jog commands to the slave, the slave then reads and chases the DREAM
Console‘s TimeCode. This provides uniform audio jogging but in some cases may cause excessive variations in
video jog speed.
Add
jogsh=# to the end of the device definition you wish to modify, where # is 1or 0.
9- PIN CONTROL
In the configuration file, SYS:cd /dd/usr/sys/tcs_cfg file, be sure the ALT_JOG option is removed by adding an
asterisk before the @SETENV ALT_JOG entry in tcs_cfg .
Additional tcs_cfg settings required for control of VCube via 9-pin are:
R ETRY_LIMIT = 50
SONY-TIMEOUT = 50
LAME-SLAVE-DELAY = 2
*@SETENV ALT_JOG
In VCube the port COM settings for the Sony 9-pin Remote Control must be set to Var / Shuttle / Jog with speed
0
Then the VCube no longer interprets these commands.
For correct behavior of VCube with the FFW and REW commands from the Fairlight station, on the MFX3 the
Unlace parameter must be set to off and the Lace parameter must be set to 0 sec .

Pro Tools and VCube
Pro Tools 6.4.1, Mac OS 10.3 and a KeySpan
Pro Tools cannot generate a TimeCode when it's in chase mode or using Sony 9-pin. Of course your transport con-
trol should be set to
