9.2.2 Play Mode
This function determines the way in which the
PLAY
key works. There are three settings:,
Auto
,
Deferred
and
Immediate
.
AUTO :
The
PLAY
indicator will ash as the unit is
locating to a location point. When the location point
is reached, playback will start automatically. How-
ever, if the
PLAY
key is pressed before the location
point is reached, the unit will stop locating and start
playing.
DEFERRED :
The unit will stop after location is
completed. However, if the
PLAY
key is pressed
while the unit is locating, the
PLAY
indicator will
ash, and playback will start when the location point
is reached.
NOTE
Because an open MMC connection cannot
determine when the locate point has been
reached, deferred play is not possible for a
machine controlled in this way. This also
applies to ADAT units connected through the
IF-LP4000 interface.
IMMEDIATE :
The unit will stop after location is
completed. If the
PLAY
key is pressed while the unit
is locating, the machine will go straight into play
mode, without locating.
9.2.3 Cueing Mode
“Cueing mode” here means that if the controlled
device is in play mode, and either of the fast transport
keys (forward or rewind) is pressed, the fast transport
mode is not latched and the unit will be in cue mode
(i.e. when the fast transport key is released, the unit
will go back into play mode). To latch the unit in the
fast transport mode, press the
STOP
key before
entering fast transport mode.
A VTR controlled over the RS-422 connection which
is put into fast wind with the cueing mode set on will
fast wind with the picture visible.
If cueing mode is not selected, when a fast transport
key is pressed, irrespective of the current transport
mode, the unit will enter the fast transport mode,
even when the fast transport key is released.
9.2.4 Locate Preroll
Move the cursor to the numeric eld, which sho ws
the pre-roll time when a location point is reached
(displayed in minutes and seconds). For example, if
this eld sho ws
0:10
, if a location operation is
carried out to a location memory of 00:20:32, the
actual point located to will be 00:20:22.
Note that this is used only in the case of Direct loca-
tion 9.3.4, “Location to a location memory”, and not
in the case of manual location operations (9.3.6,
“Manual location”), which will locate to the value
entered, irrespective of the pre-roll time set here.
Use the
JOG
dial to set the pre-roll value and conrm
the setting of this value with the
ENTER
key.
9.3 Location memories
The TM-D4000 allows the storage and recall of up to
ten location memories, allowing easy location of the
controlled devices to cue points.
9.3.1 Selecting the location point display
As explained in 3.3.1, “Location display mode”, the
LOCATE DISPLAY MODE
setting in the
OPTION SETUP
screen is used to determine
whether the LED time counter will show the location
memories as they are entered, edited and recalled, or
whether they will be shown as “popup” panels on the
LCD display screen.
When this section mentions “the display” showing
location memory values, this refers to the display that
has been selected in this option.
NOTE
Depending on the settings for frame display
(9.2.1, “Edit Frames”), the frames value may
or may not be shown on the display when
location memories are being edited, etc.
In the following explanations, the
ENTER
key by the
cursor keys
[45]
may be used in place of the
ENT
key
by the number keys
[42]
.
