TIME BASE
Reference 5 – 55
Parameter Explanation
PRE-=±xx:xx
PREROLL (Seconds: Frames).
The Preroll time is deducted from the Locate position; therefore a
Video Machine will locate to a position before the Locate position.
The run-up time of the machine until play speed is reached thus
lies before the actual starting point.
PRE-EDT=±xx:xx Preroll is only used in EDIT or ADR mode. In normal operation,
Preroll is inactive.
EDIT and ADR mode are activated in Nuendo.
PRE-ON=±xx:xx On receipt of a Locate command, the Preroll amount set here will
be used, so that the video/tape machine starts for example 6 sec-
onds before the actual Locate Point.
This allows you to set the Locate Points for a Cycle in Nuendo ac-
cording to musical criteria, and the machine will start playback at
the right time before the Cycle. The Sequencer will lock securely.
The Preroll is input as a negative value.
PRE-LOC=±xx:xx The Preroll will only be used in conjunction with a Locate Play Com-
mand (Cycle). With a normal Locate no Preroll will happen and a
frame-accurate positioning will be possible with a Sequencer/HD
Recorder.
PRE-PLY=±xx:xx
On receipt of a Play command, first a Preroll will be set, then the
Machine goes into Play. With a normal Locate, there will be no
Preroll.
