to set the value for that parameter and return
the Display to time code.
Down and Up
The Down and Up switches scroll through pa-
rameter names or values:
When a parameter name is visible Press the
Down and Up switches to scroll through the pa-
rameter names (for example, from "SET GEn" to
"VIdEo SY").
When a parameter value is visible Press the
Down and Up switches to scroll through the
range of values for the current parameter.
When entering time code values Press the Down
and Up switches simultaneously to cycle
through the hours:minutes:seconds:frames
fields in the time code display.
Run/Stop/Clear/Esc
The Run/Stop/Clear/Esc switch has several func-
tions, depending on the current mode:
While generating time code Press
Run/Stop/Clear/Esc to start or stop the time
code generator when the SYNC peripheral is in
Generator Preset mode.
While time code is being displayed Press
Run/Stop/Clear/Esc to reset the counter when-
ever time code is visible in the LED Time Code
display.
Otherwise, the Run/Stop/Clear/Esc switch serves
as a Cancel switch.
