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
automation data between two locate points, it is necessary to start and stop
a mix pass manually.
Recording in slow motion is only possible when using the Studer TC3
timecode reader or newer.
A mix pass is manually started by switching Stop Frame automation on
using the STOP FRAME keys [14]. 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 (Vista) or
SUSPEND (D950) 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 (Vista) or SUSPEND (D950).
