SX1OS V1.50 Final Release Notes
TASCAM SX1OS V1.50 Final Release Notes
Sync Point Editing
The V1.00 Reference manual does not give a full
explanation of the uses for the sync point.
The Sync Point belongs in the set of region selection
registers, which are Begin, End and Sync.
When a region of time is first selected, the sync point
is set to be the same as the begin point.
Whenever the selected data is pasted, the data is
placed so that the sync point of the data on the
clipboard is positioned at the currently marked begin
point.
In most cases, the sync point is the same as begin
point, so the pasted data appears to the right of the
current begin point.
Changing the sync point to the end of the selection
before pressing COPY or CUT allows the user to
paste the data so that it ends at the currently marked
begin point.
Or, any point in-between or even outside the selection
can be marked as the SYNC point. For example, this
is especially useful for post-production and audio-for-
video editing where an explosion must be moved to
line up with a given frame location, but the selection
must start from before the explosion starts.
In that case, the whole region containing the
explosion would be marked, then the waveform tab
could be used to zoom in on the start of the explosion.
Pressing ctrl+mouse click allows the sync point to be
changed without affecting the currently selected begin
and end points.
Then the region is CUT or COPYed, the new paste
time is selected by a simple capture of the Begin
register or clicking in region selection mode, then a
PASTE will place the data so the start of the
explosion is at the selected position, with the
clipboard data spanning on either side.
The VGA time ruler shows the currently selected
region as a yellow highlight, and the triangle pointing
down icon is the sync point. The user can click and
drag on this directly as well without affecting the
begin and end points.
Tips and Hints
Known issues
Interaction between option cards and P2 remote
control
If 2 or more of the option slots are filled with IF-
AD/DM option cards, the P2 remote control function
may stop working.
Workaround: This does not affect all users in this
situation, but if it does occur, then no workaround has
been found.
"Incorrect OS for this Hardware" error message
If an SX-1 displays this message on startup, this
indicates a hardware incompatibility with the new
OS.
Workaround: Contact Tascam to have your SX-1
serviced.
While every effort has been made to fix problems found with this new version of the SX1OS, some issues
remain.
