Editing Timecode Entries

Timecode Entry Fields:
Timecode Capture:
5-142 AutoTouch+
All timecode values are expressed as positive numbers and are limited by
the number of timecode addresses available. Times cannot be less than
00:00:00:00 or greater than 23:59:59:29 (in 30 non-drop). Only Offset
fields can have both positive and negative time values.
Timecode Entry Fields are interactive. Changes made to an entry field may
effect other fields' values. For example, changes made to the In Time or
Out Time fields in the Active or Merge Mix boxes will change the value of
the Length time. Changes made in the Length field will change the value
of the Out Time of both the Active and Merge Mixes. Changes made to the
Offset field may effect In Times, and so on.
It is possible for the In Time and Out Time to be equal in value. When
using the click/drag method of timecode entry, it is possible scroll the Out
Time downward until it matches the In Time. In that event, the Length
time will be 00:00:00:00. Additional reduction of the Out Time value will
also reduce the In Time value. Returning the Out Time to its original value
will increase the In Time until it matches its original value.
The current system timecode is displayed in the upper right-hand corner of
the OFLA screen when the Mix Viewer is enabled.
A variety of Timecode Entry Fields are provided for the definition and
control of Edit Regions, Data Regions, Data Points, and Offsets.
Timecode Entry Fields function as follows:
In Time: The starting point for an Edit Region (Active Mix), the starting point for a
Data Region (Merge Mix), or the timecode address for a Data Point
(Spread Source Mix or Update Snap Source Mix);
Out Time: The ending point for an Edit Region (Active Mix) or a Data Region
(Merge Mix);
Length: The duration of the edit; the total time of the Edit Region;
Offset: The difference between In Times of the Active Mix and Spread Source or
Merge Mixes.
The In Time and Out Time entry fields are equipped with buttons that al-
low the capture of the current timecode address while the mix is stopped or
running. Clicking on these buttons ("In" or "Out") will enter the current
address into the appropriate field.
Timecode addresses may be entered into any field using the following
methods:
Capture the current timecode address by clicking the "In" or "Out" buttons
(if provided); at the point the "In" or "Out" button is clicked, the current
timecode address is entered into the corresponding field; Timecode ad-
dresses can be captured when the mix is running or stopped.
