To carry out start point and stop point settings

block
With the following buttons in the device control block, you

Select the desired device from the upper list in the status
area, and press [Test Fire].
The action command is output from the switcher Remote 1
to Remote 4 ports or DCU 9-pin serial port.
To clear the start point, stop point, and variable
speed settings
Select the device from the upper list in the status area, then
press [Clear] in the <Start TC> group, <Stop TC> group,
<Variable Speed> group, as required.
To set the action for a rewind operation
On the VTR/disk recorder/Extended VTR timeline, when
the [REWIND] button in the Flexi Pad is pressed the action
set for the first keyframe is not executed; when the [RUN]
button is pressed, then the first keyframe action is
executed.
To execute an action when the [REWIND] button is
pressed, it is necessary to set this action (Rewind Action).
To carry out this setting, in the Device >DDR/VTR
>Timeline menu (5332), press [Rewind Action] to recall
the Rewind Action menu (5332.1). In this setting screen,
use the same setting method as in the screen for setting an
action on the VTR/disk recorder timeline.
Alternatively, you can select the reverse arrangement,
whereby when the [REWIND] button is pressed, this
executes the action set for the first keyframe, and when the
[RUN] button is pressed the first keyframe action is not
executed. In this case, the Rewind Action setting is still
valid.
