Using Stop Frame Automation:
Date printed: 27.08.03
• STOP FRAME SUSPEND / STOP FRAME TC OFF: When engaged, Stop
Frame recording is suspended. This allows timecode to be moved
backward or forward so a the next timecode location may be found. No
control values will be written while SUSPEND or TC OFF is engaged.
The procedures for using Stop Frame Automation are as follows:
1. Select WRITE ENABLE or TRIM ENABLE and the desired Pre-
Selector(s).
2. Engage TOUCH RECORD so that touched, enabled controls change to
RECORD. Also engage TOUCH HOLD so controls won't snap back to
previously written values when un-touched.
3. Move the media forward and stop media at a desired timecode loca-
tion.
4. Enable Stop Frame by pressing the STOP FRAME ON key, if it is not al-
ready on. The STOP FRAME ON key will illuminate and record status
will change to "Ready."
5. Adjust enabled controls to the desired values while sitting at that loca-
tion. Any touched control will enter RECORD and its value can be set.
The final value for each control will be recorded at that location and
every consecutive timecode location played into the system. This is
typically to the next Stop Frame location, but transitions will be ap-
plied according to the chosen "Write To:" function.
6. Pressing the SUSPEND or TC OFF key will release Stop Frame from
timecode. This allows the media to searched forward and backward in
order to find the next timecode location.
7. Once values have been recorded at all desired locations, turn Stop
Frame off, by disengaging the STOP FRAME ON key. A new Mix Pass
will be created and added to the Mix Tree and Mix Pass Stack.
