Locating To Cue Points - Solid State Logic SL 9000 J Series Operator's Manual

Cue and Track Lists
The Clips box at the top left of the Events List provides access to the Capture Clips
function. See Section 5 for more details.
If Follow on the main Events List is selected (blue) then the list will scroll as timecode
advances. Toggling the Large/Small box provides a normal or small typeface version
of the list.
The mini Events List beneath the Overview display (see Section 5), and the Events List
that appears with the timecode calculator, always reflect any changes made to the
main Events List with the exception of the typeface size which remains normal on the
mini lists.

Locating to Cue Points

Locating to cue points couldn't be easier. With either the main Events List or the
Overview mini Events List on the screen, simply stab the pen on the cue you wish to
locate to, and the system will locate to that position.
Alternatively, enter the cue's unique system-given number (1 *, 2 *, 3 * etc ) via the
numeric keypad on the computer front panel (no need to add the *), and hit OK to
action the locate.
If you have the main Events List on-screen when you do this, you will see the number
entered in the green bar at the foot of the list. If the number you enter does not exist, a
No Match error message will appear in the Status bar (see Section 1 for more on the
Status bar). Clear the bar with the computer front panel's down cursor key or the
dedicated QWERTY keyboard's backspace delete key.
If the cue is not numbered as above, the first letter (or as many letters as are necessary
to distinguish one cue from another) can be entered from the QWERTY keyboard
followed by Enter, to locate to that cue. If there is any confusion with similarly named
cues, you will be told the number of possible matches and you must try again with
more identifying characters. As before, the green bar at the foot of the main Events List
will reflect the search entry and the Status bar will relay any error messages.
Note that the Events List does not have to be on-screen to locate to a cue point by
either of the above methods.
Pressing OK on the front panel (or Enter on the dedicated QWERTY keyboard) a
second time will repeat the last locate command.
The < and > buttons, to the left of the TC 1-5 buttons on the front panel, can be used to
step the system from one event to another if set up for this function in the Desk
Config/Transport Layout entry of the FILE/SETUP menu (see Section 9 for more
details). The < and > boxes, below the timecode readout on the MIX-DESK display,
always step from one event to another.
