3.14. Event Marker Function
The APX RS’s Event Marker function makes it possible to record a frame number, on
the fly, at each external marking signal so that you can jump to the marked frame (event
frame) when playing recorded images. In addition to triggering points, these event
marks given at any moments of interesting event will let you play back such interesting
events quickly. Up to ten event frames can be marked in each partitioned section.
Marking is done at an edge of the incoming marker pulse. The immediately subsequent
frame after receipt of a marker pulse is recorded as an event frame. The following
describes how to place event marks:
1. Press the MENU key on the keypad to display the menu list. Move the cursor by
the U-D keys to select the GENERAL IN menu. Using the cursor in the GENERAL
IN menu, select [EVENT POS] or [EVENT NEG]. EVENT POS marks an event at
the rising edge of the marking signal and EVENT NEG at the falling edge.
2. Send pulses into the GENERAL IN connector each moment you see an interesting
event during a recording session.
3. Up to ten marking pulses are accepted in a session.
4. Recording comes to an end.
5. Press the LIVE/MEMORY key to switch to the MEMORY mode.
6. Press
the
△
or
▽
FRAME RATE key to jump to the first marked event. At each
press on either key, playback jumps to previous or subsequent event frames.
7. While an event frame is displayed on the screen, the text shows [EVENT FRAME
x] where the x is a number between 1 and 10 each representing the serial number
of an event frame.
*Note: This function is not available with the DUAL FRAME RATE mode.
