Stop Frame Automation

5-116 AutoTouch+
AutoTouch+ offers a series of special operating modes and features to
accommodate 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 val-
ues, 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 gen-
erator 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.
There are two keys on the AutoTouch+ Panel associated with Stop Frame
automation.
Vista:
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 re-
corded 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.
