After selecting MARGIN INCREMENTS from the menu that appears when the Edit Param knob is
tweaked, you ll need to set the amount of nudge. This is done in the Jump Margin field, where we have
entered a value of 1:03:000 in Bars and Beats —
which relates to one bar and three beats every time a
Jump key is pressed.

New Timecode output muting options
A number of customers requested that we make the SX-1 work much like our DTRS tape machines in
regard to the timecode output during periods when the transport is moving at non-play speeds (fast
forward or rewind primarily). The timecode output can now be muted in a number of situations. Too
see this, navigate to the LCD ETC Preferences screen (this parameter is here because it wouldn t fit on
the transport screen).
Use the arrow keys to highlight the new field called TC Out Muting. If you move the Edit Param knob,
you will see that you have a number of different options.
Here s what they do:
Mute After Stop
—
The SX-1 will stop sending timecode immediately after Stop is pressed.
Mute Faster Than 1x
—
The SX-1 will not output timecode if the transport moves any faster than play
speed. Timecode will still be sent if the transport is moving
slower
than play speed.
Mute Slower than 1x
—
The SX-1 will not output timecode if the transport moves any slower than
play speed. Timecode will still be sent if the transport is moving
faster
than play speed.
Mute non-Play speeds
—
The SX-1 will mute all timecode output when the transport is moving at any
speed other than normal play speed.

Support for 23.976 and 24.975 frame rates
The new high definition timecode frame rates of 23.976 and 24.975 are now supported. These were
added to allow the SX-1 to integrate more fully into a high def environment.
The new rates can be selected from the same menu as was done prior —
navigate to the Transport
screen (either by selecting Transport from the LCD Access section of the slanted front panel or by
going to the VGA Track screen and selecting the Transport tab):
