AutoTouch+ offers a series of special operating modes and features to ac-
commodate specific production requirements and working styles.
The Stop Frame automation feature makes it possible to write specific control
values between timecode locations. The user can stop timecode playback at
a specific location, set any number of controls to desired values, and move to
the next location forward in time where values may again be adjusted. The
initially set values will be recorded between the timecode locations.
Stop Frame automation may also be used with the internal timecode genera-
tor and LOCATE key when working with an EDL (Edit Decision List). This
allows automation data to be recorded in a 'pseudo offline' fashion without
the work media.
Stop Frame Automation may be enabled at any point. After control values
are written at a specific location, the media can be moved forward to the next
location, and the next set of values can be written. If locations are not known,
Stop Frame may be 'suspended' as the media is searched.
automation.
STOP FRAME keys perform the following functions:
• STOP FRAME ON: When engaged, all enabled controls will switch to their
active RECORD state. The values of these controls will be recorded at
the current timecode location. If timecode is advanced, these values will
be recorded to each consecutive location. At any time, the user may stop
timecode playback and make further adjustments to the controls. The new
values will be recorded at the current location and any consecutive ones
if the media is moved forward. It is important to note that control values
will not be recorded if the timecode is moved backward.
