DETAILS OF ROC USE

After the record command from the user goes "true" the Proces-
sor waits until the start of the next frame to start storing pictures
in memory. This means that it is possible to have a time delay of
as long as 1 / REC RATE from the time the user toggles the record
command until the storage of the first picture.
A peculiarity of ROC operation is that the picture on the monitor
will be frozen when the record command signal is not "true". If
you are in LIVE or RECORD and the (B)ROC Indicator is not
present there will be a still picture on the monitor. The picture
will start moving when the command signal goes "true" and the
Processor is putting pictures into memory.
In a session where the command signal may be toggled "true" a
number of times before the recording is complete, it would be
nice if the operator could tell whether or not any pictures have
been captured yet. The (B)ROC Indicator will change to a hollow
white box if at least one command signal has been received.
If you are viewing a recording done in the (B)ROC mode the ROC
Indicator (white box) will be visible on the video display during
the entire playback.
The Processor does keep track of Elapsed Time and Time of Day
while a ROC recording is being made. This means that the
Elapsed Time display on the monitor will show the actual time
passed between one record command signal and the next.
