tracks. As you zoom in, so you will see tracks 1-12, 1-8, 1-4, 1 and 2 and finally, 1
displayed on the external monitor. However, you may want to zoom in on tracks 5 and 6.
This easily achieved by pressing SHIFT plus the PLAY SELECT keys 5 and 6. This will
place tracks 5 and 6 as the top two tracks in the GRID. Any tracks may be selected in this
way. For a four track zoom, you may want to see tracks 2, 5, 7 and 8 so hit SHIFT+PLAY
SELECT 2, 5, 7, 8. To clear the display so that tracks 1-16 are shown sequentially again in
the GRID, press SHIFT plus either of the CLEAR keys. To select tracks 9-16 in this way,
use SHIFT plus the lower RECORD/EDIT SELECT keys. Any combination of tracks 1-8
and 9-16 can be selected for display in zoom.
NOTE: This function affects the display only - it does not route different tracks to different
outputs.
Several other key combinations are possible. These are:
SHIFT+EDIT
SHIFT+REC/#
SHIFT+TR1-8
SHIFT+TR9-16
SHIFT+CURSOR UP/DOWN
NOTE: In the SHOW page, you may set the DL1500 so that tracks selected for edit are
those that are shown on the VGA as you zoom in. For example, with tracks 3 and 4
selected for edit, when you zoom to two tracks, 3 and 4 would automatically be placed at
the top of the screen. Please see the section that describes the SHOW functions for more
details on this.

NUMERIC KEYPAD

The NUMERIC KEYPAD has two main functions. It is used to store and recall up to 10
edits in what we call the EDIT CLIPBOARD (see the section on editing that describes this).
It is also used for timecode and numeric entry.

EDITING NUMERIC FIELDS

To edit number fields, you can just type the number directly followed by EXECUTE. You
may also use the DATA ENTRY +/- keys to increment/decrement through the values.
If you make a mistake, press EXIT - this will restore the parameter's previous value.
To clear a number field, press the NUMERIC KEYPAD's CLR key followed by EXECUTE.
This may be used to type in a value 'from scratch' or to clear a mistake and start over
again.
