Control Panels - Sony SONOMA User Manual

When an EDL window is opened, it is maximized by default, but this is controlled via a user
preference. You can change this behavior by setting or clearing the open EDL window maximized
checkbox in the window tab of the preferences window. This window is reached via the preferences
item in the window menu.
The range of the viewable EDL window is 23:30:00 to 12:30:00, however, the usable range in which
you can work is from 00:00:00 to 12:00:00.
When an EDL has been modified but not yet saved, an asterisk is appended to its name in the title bar
and the Sonoma window menu.

HW Monitor
The hardware monitor control panel displays real time information about the status of the
machine. You will normally not need to view this panel. It can be useful for problem
diagnosis under the direction of a Sony field support engineer.
The channel controls are used most of the time, so this panel is described fully in the next section.
The other control panels are used for special functions and will be described later in this chapter.

Editor with the transport running. For this reason, the Splice Editor tab is skipped as you cycle down/up the panels
with the PageDown/PageUp keys when the transport runs.
