9.3.2 Storing a location memory "on the
fly"
This procedure allows you to set a location memory,
regardless of whether timecode is currently being
received or not. If timecode is not currently being
received, the value of the location memory will be
the last received value as shown on the time counter.
The value on the time counter, regardless of source,
will be stored as the location memory. This may be
timecode, MTC or an ABS time from a DTRS unit.
However, only a controller which is specifically for
DTRS use can locate a DTRS unit correctly, if there
is an offset or other difference between timecode and
the ABS time. If an ABS time is captured, other con-
trollers will assume that this was a timecode value,
and will locate the unit to this timecode position.
1
Press the MEMO key
start to flash.
2
Press any of the numeric keys, corresponding
to the ten location memories available.
3
The indicator will stop flashing and
MEMO
the currently-displayed timecode value will
be stored in the location memory.
9.3.3 Manually entering and editing a
location memory
This procedure can be used for editing existing loca-
tion memories or for adding new ones.
1
Press the EDIT key. The indicator will start to
flash.
2
Press one of the number keys to select the
location memory which will store the value.
3
Enter the timecode value using the numeric
keypad. The display will show the value, "fill-
ing up" from the right digit towards the left.
4
As an alternative to step 3 above, if the
key is pressed again after the location mem-
ory number has been pressed, the indicator
will start to flash again, allowing the check-
ing and editing of another location memory.
5
Press the ENT key
when the timecode value for the location
memory has been entered.
9–6
[41] . The indicator will
EDIT
[42] or the ENTER key
6
Press again once to edit another loca-
EDIT
tion memory, or press
location memory editing mode.
If the key is pressed before the
CLR
a location memory entry which has been
made in error will be cleared. Pressing
or ENTER will store the cleared memory.
NOTE
All blank location memories are assumed to
be timecode memories. Editing one, and
attempting to locate using ABS with a DTRS
controller will almost certainly result in an
unwanted result. It is suggested that an ABS
time is captured first and then edited.
It is possible to switch between the capture, edit and
location procedures at any time.

9.3.4 Location to a location memory

When the location memories have been entered, they
are recalled in the following way:
1
Press the
DIRECT LOCATE

2
Press any one of the numeric keys, corre-
sponding to the ten location memories.
3
The controlled device will locate to the mem-
ory stored in the location memory.
What happens next depends on the
MODE
setting (see 9.2.2, "Play Mode").
NOTE
If a pre-roll time has been set (9.2.4, "Locate
Preroll"), the controlled device will locate to
the location memory point, minus the value
set as the preroll time.
