Timecode Chase
A Timecode Chase (TC Chase List) list allows you create a playlist where each clip in the list can be
triggered by a timecode value. For each clip in the list you set the timcode value that you want to clip
to start playing. You also have the option of setting a new in point, or offset, for the clip if you don't want
the clip to start playing from the beginning.
Note:
You must have a valid timecode signal connected to the LINE IN port at the back of the server.
Tip:
Because the TC Chase List does not use the LTC IN port, you can still use time of day LTC input separate from TC Chase List.
To Create a TC Chase List
You can add clips to the TC Chase List in the same way you add clips to a Play List. Once the clips have
been added you can set the timecode value for when each clip will start playing, as well as any offset to
the input of the clip that you want to jump to.
1.
If you are creating a new TC Chase List, click
New
>
New Playlist
and enter a name for the new TC
Chase List. If you are editing a TC Chase List, proceed to the next step.
2.
Double-click on the name of the TC Chase List you just created.
The TC Chase Editor opens to the right of the Clip Library.
Note:
If it appears that the Editor window has not opened, it may be shrunk. Resize the right side of the Clip Library to make the Editor
window visible.
Tip:
The current timecode coming into the server is shown at the top of the TC Chase List window.
3.
Drag and drop clips from the Clip Library to your TC Chase List.
Tip:
Right-click on a clip and click Remove from list to remove the clip from the TC Chase List.
4.
Drag and drop clips within the TC Chase List to order them how you want them to appear visually.
The order of the clips in the list does not change the playout order. Clips are played according to
their
TC Offset Trigger
.
Tip:
You can click Save at any time to save the current state of the TC Chase List.
5.
Double-click on the time in the
TC Offset Trigger
column for the clip you want to edit and enter the
timecode value at which you want this clip to start playing. For example, if you want the clip to start
playing at timecode 01,00,30,00, enter
01,00,30,00
.
