1.4B Display Type

It is important that you can reference tape positions in a way that you
are comfortable with. That's why we've designed the BRC to provide
you with three different types of position indicators, so you can
choose the one that best suits your needs.
Both the tape location counter and the lower display can reference the
tape position in time to either N o r m a l ADAT timecode, SMPTE
timecode, or Bars.
Press the DISPLAY TYPE button next to the NORMAL, SMPTE, and
BARS LEDs; the LEDs will cycle through the three formats. The LEDs
will indicate which time format is currently being displayed.
• When NORMAL is selected, time is referenced in minutes,
seconds and frames (00:00:00). Frames are displayed in 1/30ths of a
second.
• When SMPTE is selected, time is referenced in hours, minutes,
seconds and frames (00:00:00:00). Frames are displayed in 1/24ths,
1/25ths, or 1/30ths of a second, depending upon the SMPTE
format selected by the SMPTE button (see section 5.0).
• When BARS is selected, song position is referenced in bars, beats
and sub-beats (01–01/00). Sub-beats are displayed in 1/24ths of a
beat. This requires that the tempo and time signature (number of
beats per bar) be set up in the TEMPO MAP (see section 5.1).

1.4C Display Mode

While Normal Display Type is selected, pressing the DISPLAY MODE
button next to the RELATIVE and ABSOLUTE LEDs will toggle
between absolute and relative time modes. When in Absolute Mode,
the display reflects the actual tape time (ABSOLUTE LED lit). When
in Relative Mode, the display reflects the tape time referenced to the
relative zero time (RELATIVE LED lit). The RESET 0 button is used
to set the relative zero time. When this button is pressed, the tape
location is set to zero. If the display was in absolute mode when
RESET 0 was pressed, the display will now be set to relative mode
(RELATIVE LED lit).
The DISPLAY MODE button does not have any effect on the upper or
lower displays when the Display Type is set to SMPTE or BARS, and
