mix Passes

Date printed: 28.0.0
Normally a new mix pass is automatically being created when play speed of
incoming timecode is detected. A mix pass finishes upon detection of non-
play speed.
In order to record slower than play speed (slow motion) or even write auto-
mation data between two locate points, it is necessary to start and stop a mix
pass manually.
A mix pass is manually started by switching Stop Frame automation on using
the STOP FRAME keys. It is finished when this key is switched to off again.
No­te The automation cannot record backwards; the automation records data up to
any incremented timecode value. Therefore it is not possible to erase data by
going backwards using the jog wheel.
In order to locate precisely to a certain frame without 'overshooting', it might
be useful to suspend the reading of timecode while searching for that specific
frame. This can be done by activating the TC OFF key.
Example The user wants to write data between 1:00:01:00 and 1:00:09.20, using the
jog wheel to locate both points precisely.
Procedure:
1. Find the starting point with the jog wheel.
2. Start a mix pass by switching STOP FRAME ON.
3. Punch-in requested objects.
4. Activate TC OFF.
5. Locate the end point 1:00:09:20 using the jog wheel (the user can freely
jog around this point and even overshoot in order to locate precisely). It
is possible to use locate commands as well.
6. Deactivate TC OFF ⇒ Automation data is written up to the current timecode
value.
7. Finish the mix pass by switching STOP FRAME off.
