Alesis AI-2 Reference Manual page 59

Cue times can not be edited in this menu, but if the Use Times
option is set to on, they can be selected in the main display rotation
and edited by the set/hold process. The cue start time is also
automatically updated when the AI-2 offset is altered. If no data
has been read from tape, the AI-2 will default to Cue #1.

Use Times. Used to automatically calculate the AI-2 offset from
•
the Start and Tape times read from the ADAT tape header. If
set to on will add these two time code registers to the main
display rotation.
Name. The name of the current cue. Cue names are limited to
•
ten characters and are the same as BRC "song" names. There
is no method of writing or editing cue names from the AI-2, a
cue name will therefore only be displayed if it has been read
from tape.
Start. The cue start time. The external time code value at
•
which the selected cue starts. This is the same as SMPTE start
offset in the Alesis BRC documentation. This can be thought of
as a reference sync point. The AI-2 offset is calculated by
subtracting the cue start time from the tape start time.
Tape. The ADAT tape start time. The time on the ADAT tape
•
that the selected cue starts. This can be thought of as a tape
sync point. The AI-2 offset is calculated by subtracting the cue
start time from the tape start time. In many situations the tape
start time will be zero and the AI-2 offset will be the same
number, but negative, as the cue start time.

start offset in AI -2 offset calculation.
